There were arguments being made that because Democrats hadn’t gotten this done, that Latinos should vote against Democrats or just sit out the election. And I said, well, you can’t punish your friends when — the folks who’ve been supporting it. Now, I did also say if you’re going to punish somebody, punish your enemies, and I probably should have used the word, “opponents” instead of enemies. Now the Republicans are saying that I’m calling them enemies. What I’m saying is you’re an opponent of this particular provision, comprehensive immigration reform, which is something very different.
But the key issue here is that if you are supportive of comprehensive immigration reform, if you are supportive of health care reform, if you are supportive of making sure that credit card companies are treating us fairly, making sure that banks are properly regulated so they don’t end up getting taxpayer bailouts — if you support those things, then you’ve got to support those who helped to put those provisions into law. And you’ve got to make sure that those who are opposed to that legislation, that they get a clear message that they shouldn’t be standing in the way of the progress, but rather we should be moving this country forward.

What I’m lookin’ at is no head.
Is teleprompter to blame or was he winging it again.
The lying Kenyan-born Muzzie asshole said exactly what he meant to say. Thanks Justaham.
The point isn't what he should or shouldn't have done. The point is what he did.
Sorry, but real life isn't a court room (real or faux) nor a classroom (real or faux), There are no do overs much less “Let me rephrase that”. You get one chance and one chance only.
If you are unwilling to learn that lesson and live by it then you have no business being in politics at any level,
Too bad Obama didn't have enough experience in the Illinois and US senates to learn that lesson. But then, if he had real experience in both houses (run for at least two reelections in each one) he would have a real record that even the MSM couldn't have whitewashed and, hence, would have never been elected in the first place.
Since I’m pulling night shift this week, I stayed up watching TV last night.
The O was on with political adds directed against generic Republicans.
Tuesday MY ENEMIES will be punished in the elections.
He spoke “Stupidly”.
Not that he cares what any of us thinks, unless it makes it harder for him to get his agenda passed.
The libtards are trying to push back - don’t let them.
I can’t wake up Wednesday unless I see Pelosi and Co having lost their majority - the bigger the better.
E-Mail anyone who will help make this happen - don’t let anyone on our side avoid voting!
More Orwellian doubletalk for granting amnesty to illegal aliens in exchange for their votes.
Not no, but HELL NO.
