Six years ago I wrote Congressman Mike Pence that something had to be done about illegal immigration. He replied that the Bush administration had a plan to deal with the problem and reform was forthcoming. Are you aware that of most of all the illegal immmiration has occured under the Republican administration who really did not want ot stop the tide of cheap labor in the United States?

The Stimulus was touted at THE tool in the toolbox. We all know now, like the rest of this Administration's policies, it's a LOSER.
Socialized Insurance, Cap & Trade and Illegal amnesty will drive unemployment up even higher. Those of us that pay the big taxes, in other words, small businesses are not, will not and cannot hire and/or expand.
Change we can believe in....

White House strategists say it's crucial to show Americans that the president cares about their plight kinda covers it all. BS.. His agenda of pushing programs which will have little or no benefit for most Americans, while forcing up taxes and the cost of living will make it very difficult to grow jobs while reducing individual freedoms and increasing the weight of Government control.
As a country we are headed downhill and will continue to do so until we can rid ourselfs of these left wing parasites.

By pushing "comprehensive immigration reform" (i.e., mass ammesty for million of illegal foreign workers) the Obama administration is showing that they do NOT really care about unemployed working class Americans -- even in this era of very high unemployment.
There are about 7 million illegal foreign workers in our country. If Obama and Janet Napolitano actually enforced our immigration laws (which they are not), this would free up these 7 millions jobs for Americans.
Instead, Obama is pandering to the ethnocentric, pro-amnesty groups and spitting on out-of-work Americans.

Mmmmmm? I thought it was Sarah Palin that had no experience!
When you ask the LIBERALS they say she had no experience and OBama was experience and all knowing !!!!!!!! Guess we can't depend on the LIBERALS picking a good person to be President !!

Obama is trying to make his followers beleive that his policies are working! The "stimulus' bill has had very little impact on job creation! The numbers have been skewed by the administration to try to justify such irresponsible spending!
Obama, so far, has only proven his ineffectiveness, so far!

"When in trouble or in doubt - Run in circles, scream and shout." (Or, have a "summit").

We HOPE Obama becomes UNEMPLOYED in Jan 2013. And the marxists he brough with him should join the unemployed roles about 1 hour later, or as soon as the new President can fire them.
Obama has created CHAOS in the business sector with his bailouts, higher taxes, take over of industries, czars, new and proposed regulations. What company wants to risk hiring more people with uncertainty in every area?

Least of all the job market. Ask the millions of unemployed!
His stimulus did darn little to create jobs, certainly not in the private sector. But then he loves spending and big government. That is all he has done since taking office.
Maybe we should all give a big shout out to his deceitfulness.

A summit: what kind of food are they having. I like the free lunch the government has been handing out.
It seems that the whole economy is made up of banks. Everything else is outsourced or going to be outsourced. Could we send our unemployed to China or India. Maybe they could teach english there. In the two wars we have hired contractors and increased the pay of our miltary. Maybe we can outsource the people to fight our wars.
I assume the summit will recommand that they create a committee. And the committee will create a 2,000 page report which we will throw in the trash. By that time it will be election time and we can deside with to stay democratic or republican. And of cause keep all those good laws we passed for banking. And as for average working people who are not working increase the dole.
