If her life was in danger and he didn't help her when he could have, then yes... he's a total ****ing asshole.So it seems as though Mr. Obama is the asshole you proport him NOT to be after all. Given she was rejected and Obama claims he didn't know she was even in the United States until 2008 --- sounds as if he didn't know, didn't care or both.
So I'll say again - let's release the hearing information and let the cards fall where they may. If it's all on the up and up and Obama didn't interfere - the system worked and all is well.
Meh. I don't have respect for a law just because it's a law. Some laws are ****ing retarded.And the thought that "if it hurts no one" all's fair is a fairly ****ed up world view on your part. Laws are made to be followed and kept - undue influence by a politician including the President is troublesome and in some cases illegal. It's not okay - either laws apply to all or none. This isn't the mafia or some good old boy club where one scratches another's back and the other gives a reach around.
Honestly, I'm much more interested in consistency. I'd be willing to bet if it was Bush or some other Republican involved in a similar situation, a lot on the left would be screeching cronyism, abuse of power, etc. etc. And you know what? They could be right. I think this thing smells just a tad, regardless of who did it.
If he influenced the decision of the immigration court in any way, then that's wrong, just like it would be if it was someone from the other side of the aisle.
How absolutely low and ridiculous.
So for months upon months now Rush Limbaugh and others have lambasted and joked, to the roaring approving laughter of fans, how Obama says we should be our "brother's keeper" but that his brother lives in a shack and is in a bad part of the world and why doesn't old Obama be his brother's keeper and help his family member out and get HIM out of poverty.
So then we have someone related to Obama granted asylum here. We don't know the facts, yet people are already jumping the gun with suggestions, implications, and assumptions that this was all done based on Obama. However, even assuming that's the case, isn't that just doing what Rush and others have essentially been lambasting him for NOT doing with his brother?
So lets see here...
If he doesn't help his distant family that don't live here he's being a hypocrite for talking about people needing to be their "brother's keeper" and is worthy of ridicule for not using his resources to help his family out.
If someone in his distant family actually does make it into America though, we're to assume and imply immedietely that its because of Obama, and if it is the case that it was because of Obama we should lambast and attack him for using his resources to help his family out.
For the love of christ, this is why hyper partisans always look foolish, because they give up any attempt at individual integrity or insight in exchange for continual attempts at scoring political points. Its actions and attitudes like presented here that make real, legitimate, honest, adult political discourse so difficult in this country.
His aunt is here. We have no facts of how close he is to his aunt, we have no facts whether he helped her get over here, we don't even know whether it'd be unethical if he DID help her get there. Once we get more information, then maybe we can figure something out.
Got it..... it's alright for Barry's Illegal Alien Aunt to sneak into the country, live off the public purse, refuse to leave when told to, but let's get that law breaking Mexican out of the country?
You know what? Whatever.
It's his aunt and it's a little old lady in a wheelchair who is seeking asylum from a country that is torn by violence. So what if she's the president's aunt? There's got to be some perks for having the single most stressful job in the world...if he pulls a couple diplomatic strings to get her through the process, by all means, I would, too.
There are people living all over the world in countries "torn by violence".... are we then to move them all here and afford them public housing.... food...power.... a new car..... wide screen TV....
Get my drift?
BTW..... the clan she comes from is the largest in Kenya. When do they arrive?
How about the rest of his family?
If we are going to toss the law out for the President, where do you draw the line?
Fraud?
Theft? and how much?
How about we just give him a full pass and include murder?
You see, either the laws of this country are to be obeyed or all laws are undermined and we will eventually end up a 3rd world Banana Republic where your life isn't worth 2 cents.
So what do you want, law and order, or anarchy?
Yes, I think she should follow the rule of law.
Our rule of law allows for judges to make rulings in regards to asylum in cases where someone is fleeing for their life from their home country.
There is a grave and huge difference between someone breaking the laws, repeatedly, and being deported with no legal leeway to keep them here, and someone that came here illegally...yet made themselves known (through the asylum attempt the first time)...and is now still here because the law, a judge, decided to hear the case and rule in her favor.
If the judge ruled against her, then hell yes, deport her ass.
Unlike you apparently, I do not cherry pick when I follow the law. We have asylum rules and standards for a specific reason and if she falls within them then she's within the boundaries of the law. If she didn't I'd absolutely be in favor of her deportation.
But thanks for reaching, it was entertaining to watch. Next time, perhaps check the premise of your statement and your argument may look less ignorant. Your premise is that somehow I'm an Obama sycophant and think he can "do no wrong". Your premise is flawed, and frankly stupid, and thus why your pathetic attempt at playing "Gotcha" failed. The illegal immigrant in the post you linked to has no legal standing to remain in this country...this woman does.
The Judge did rule against her... she stayed. Barry got elected, she gets to stay.
She did break the law.... she was an ILLEGAL ALIEN..... she disobeyed a deportation order. I don’t know and don’t care if she illegally stole public housing , it’s still wrong.
Your pathetic hypocrisy is duly noted.... don't ever lecture anyone else about their hypocrisy or hyper partisanship.... you are no better than the worst here.
That's me, one step away from Karl Marx :roll:

Good point why has my property that he and his government have taken from me at gunpoint go to pay for his private jet?
And while we're at it why does he get to steal from me to pay your salary?
