Hey, remember when Barack Obama was talking about uniting the country? And how we’re not red states or blue states but rather the United States? That rhetoric was all nice and flowery, and it convinced many people to support his candidacy. Those were the days.
Unfortunately, those days are over. Because something happened along the way: Republicans dared to disagree with The One. They dared to oppose his far-left agenda. They dared to say, “Hey, let’s slow down this spending,” when the deficit hit $1.4 trillion. And they dare to oppose blanket amnesty for illegal aliens.
So now Republicans are the “enemy” to both Obama and Latinos.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Referring specifically to Republicans such as Senator John McCain, who are stressing border security and supporting strict immigration laws like Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration measure, Mr. Obama said, “Those aren’t the kinds of folks who represent our core American values.”
Really? Supporting secured borders and standing up for current federal law isn’t representative of our core American values? That’s interesting. Apparently nothing says “core American values” like unsecured borders and rampant illegal activity.

And people wonder why someone like Senator McConnell would hope Obama is a one term president. I’m sorry he got one shot at it.

Note that if you search for Obama’s comment, you won’t find any of the alphabet soup networks playing the story. They haven’t even dared to touch the story (except an apologist half-assed token attempt by Snuffleupogus. Now, just imagine how many months it would play as the top headline IF George W Bush had spoken those words. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS and the rest would have his head on a pike pole. You’d never stop hearing about it. That’s why the alphabet soup media has LOST most of its viewers. Obama is a simple-minded hipster-commie who glibly lies to the masses (a la Alinsky) and doesn’t f-ing care about the truth. This silly pretender is an embarrassment to the U.S.A. He needs to move to Cuba. Thanks ever so much, ACORN!!!!!
