Here's Hoping: Obama says dream act by 2011. - Page 2

ay live4dream has a point and a very good one at that....well at least bush tired i remember him going to congress pushin for immigration and then label a lame duck president when he couldn't convince anyone for it.......well i feel like take a shit and feedin it to every politican that lied to us about immigration this year.....

ROOOOFL. Concord and signed.

Obama was a 1 issue president. Healthcare reform (which he didn't do to the fullest extend), everything else is just lip service.

Whenever I see that commercial of the "America got a couple of things right, freedom and cars."

I rofl every single time.

Yup, its kind of sad how Obama went from being the great "hope" and "change" that we were all waiting for, to a great disappointment. I have a friend who is a Republican telling me that the only reason why he voted for Obama was because he was pissed of at Republicans and how they fucked up the country, but how he regretted ever voting for Obama. I regret donating my time to his campaign, i regret telling my U.S. citizens family members to vote for him over Clinton etc. And yet he still wants to garner support from African Americans, Women, and the Hispanic community when he has done absolutely nothing to help them. Screw him!

Obama is the man!

I think he is the biggest disappointment of '10. To me, he just cares about the global attention because he is the first black president, I think he does all these Late night show appearances because he likes the attention and feeling like a celebrity, and also use it as a way to "let people know" that he is like "us" and we can identify ourselves with him, since he is "cool and laid back" but what has he really done that had an impact? I know it's hard to get this country back on its feet in two years but...maybe he can step away from the spotlight as well? Because I see him in all these shows and magazines, but I never hear anything about any strategies, to either "close the borders" or for some sort of "legalization."

You cannot entirely blame Obama because the Republican are to be blamed for being uncooperative and filibustering almost everything in the senate.

I couldn't agree more, if we had divided congress nothing will be likely to pass. If the senate passes something, the house will blocks it. However, any radical measures will also be blocked. If a Democrat majority congress wasn't able to pass the Dream Act, can a divided congress pass it?

Super majority, need i say more? Has he tried to push for DA? Have the Democrats try to push for DA?

He has spoken favorably of the DA, he also appears on english media speaking favorably of the DA, he blocked the most controversial portions of the Arizona bill from taking place, and the democrats voted favorably on the DA attached to the DoD bill, but one may say they did so in attempt to defeat the filibuster rather then pass the DREAM Act, but it was a good attempt, only foiled by the republicans voting no in unison.

The republicans showed that it did not matter whether the democrats are the majority, they had 41 republicans and that is enough to halt a bill from going through.
