Now he's giving young illegal immigrants the right to apply for temporary legal status and work permits. This is just a couple of weeks after he changed his mind about gays. He says it's not amnesty.
He might as well be giving people money to vote for him. Does anyone really believe he cares about anything but getting re-elected. This latest thing is a slap in the face to every American that is out of a job. It also shows that he doesn't care about this country. Illegals cost the taxpayers billions of dollars a year and they do take away jobs that Americans will do.
Why are any American citizens willing to give him another chance to screw up this country even more?

The more he acts the more he seems like a Dictator. He defies court orders, refuses to enforce Federal Law, now he is making law on a law that Congress voted against for the second time. He sits a judge, jury and executioner for anyone he considers a terrorist including American Citizens.
His administration has sued the states when they try to follow Federal Law and do what the Federal Government won't do. He has made many promises and had kept very few except the ones that are destroying America.
He claims to be for the middle class but now want to the jobs to illegal immigrants and take the jobs away from Americans and Legal Immigrants. What next will he declare that all whites can not vote and only illegals and minorities?

I'm not. I'm not voting for him. I was under-age the first election, but looking at his policies and agendas then I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like him very much. He makes great speeches, but that's not all that being a president is about. I do believe he's unveiling this new policies and agendas in order to get another group of voters on-board. I have mixed feelings about the immigration policy. On the one hand, everything he said in his speech about parents bringing children to the country illegally and them not knowing about it until much later in life, then risking deportation to a country they know nothing about, is a sad truth. On the other had, such immigration policies that allowed for current illegal immigrants to earn citizenship in the past have only brought more illegals to the country, hoping that future policies will allow them to stay as well. It's not solving the problem, it is making it worse.
As for other Americans being behind him, well all I can say is they like the direction he's going. They like the things he says and the promises he makes, and they want to continue to allow him to work in what they consider their favor.

"illegal immigrants"
The politically correct term is "undocumented democrats."
Basically Obama is trying to turn this into a dictatorship one step at a time. His job is to execute the laws of the land, not to ignore those that he disagrees with. If we allow the president to pick and choose which laws count, the legislative branch and the supreme court become irrelevant.

You are totally correct. He doesn't even have the authority to do this; only Congress does. This will lead to several thousand fewer jobs for U.S. citizens. But he doesn't care about people having jobs; his inept running of the government has proven that. He just believes in increasing spending and spending some more and driving the national debt way up just so he can get re-elected.

Obama is a shame to the American people. We really need to stand up to him and his cronies on Capital Hill and get rid of them all!!!

Three-four years ago when I first started speaking up against Obama's policies and doing research on his background and past, if I found ONE person to agree with me I was happy.
Now, seems like all but the very hard core are waking up to the fact that he is a dangerous and anti American fellow.
I'd have to spend one full 24 hour day listing all the things that the man has done or not done that are either illegal or hurtful to Americans. Then the next day I could list the reasons he is not eligable to even sit in the Oval Office.
