Here comes Emma Lazarus!

[APatientMan]

He calls for bipartisanship by being critical of Conservatives and Bush. He is a fraud. A right-in-your-face fraud.

[Sans-Culotte]

Obama will stop at nothing to destroy this great country. He, his administration and the policies set fourth by this Congress must be utterly disgraced and defeated before being thrown on the ash heap of history.

If an Amnesty bill passes, neither he nor his cronies will ever be defeated. Those who thought it preferable to elect Obama instead of McCain because "Obama will energize the conservative base" will rue the day they ever believed such foolishness. The speed and intensity of Obama's attacks on America have been like a blitzkrieg. I fear it is America that will end up on the ash heap.

he's trying to pull on the heart strings

He's going way overboard with this.

-- Here, let me write it for the teleprompter right now ... --

You're a natural at crafting nothing-speak. That's right on the money.

Quoting from the Statue of Liberty now. The Statue of Liberty is a PIECE OF ART. The Constitution is the LAW of the land.

Is he lying? Is there a big purple blur where his lips should be?

[ladyvet]

He's comparing and trying to fuzzy the lines between illegal Hispanics crossing the Southern borders to the Europeans who came here LEGALLY.

“Can’t watch him.

Can’t listen to him.

Will wait for summary reports.”

Same here.

[LADY J]

Analysis of speech on Fox now - His speech is full of contradictions & his actions do not match his words.

Yep - his purple lips were lying like a rug!!!

[3rdcoastislander]

I just watched his speech. No specifics like usual, no actual plan of action. Mainly just a bunch of babbling on and on. Says our borders are too vast to seal! Another defeatest speech by Barack. This guy is so detached from reality down here on the border its a joke!

[EQAndyBuzz]

In other words, amnesty first.

[lakeman]

By that theory why punish thieves who steal to support their lifestyle.

[Chuzzlewit]

“Can’t watch him.

Can’t listen to him.

Will wait for summary reports.”

ditto.

[businessprofessor]

“Let me be clear, though I inherited this border situation on our borders, I do not intend to let this situation deteriorate further in light of our dreams for our future.”

This statement is a declaration of war on the American people. Obama intends to impose amnesty if a satisfactory bill is not passed. There were rumors that he was going to announce an amnesty in his speech. He has indirectly indicated that he will impose amnesty if legislation does not become enacted in the coming months.

[ryderann]

Will a blanket amnesty be used to somehow make Obama legal? We’d better read the fine print very carefully.

[1951Boomer]

Is it possible to give a speech while stoned? Seriously, if so, that would explain a lot.

[TommyDale]

Absolutely.

He didn't say that - not that I know of anyway - I skipped the speech.

As I noted, that was my own stream-of-conciousness impersonation of a typical Obama speech. It's just a bunch of words and phrases that sound lofty but actually say absolutely nothing of use to anybody on the issue.
