"We Are The World" followed by "Don't Stop Believing" for that all-important Clinton nostalgia.

A Native American blessing
"Screw the white eyes!"

Welcome by University of Arizona President Robert N. Shelton
"In our diversity is strength. Welcome to all of our undocumented comrades. And, by the way, screw the white eyes!"

The playing of the National Anthem
Glory to the Motherland, united and free! The stronghold of the friendship of the peoples! The Party of Lenin, power of the people, It leads us to the triumph of Communism.

Remarks by President Shelton
"I see a few more undocumented faces in the crowd. Welcome!"

Remarks by a University of Arizona Student
“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as, uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”

Remarks by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R)
"What the hell are all these undocumented people doing in here?"

Remarks by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

Remarks by President Obama
“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

Moment of silence
Applause

Odd title. I don’t think I’ll tune in to see how he makes it work. I can think of 19 people and their extended families who aren’t particularly “thriving” at the moment - some more, or less, than others. Interesting.

Another chance for Oblahblah to give the proletariat a teachable moment. I can hardly wait to be instructed by a disbarred, race baiting, muslim loving,illegal alien, ineligible imposter posing as the President of the United States.

Nothing thrives under Obama and his ilk.

How long did it take for them to come up with that campaign slogan?

Six dead and the “media” is trumpeting Barry’s 6 point bounce in the polls. This is just too weird for me. The people living in this country are sick.

I can not verify the logo was created by 0bama's team. The original appears on the UA site, but damn, just damn.

AND, the event is being described as “a defining moment in Obama’s presidency”.... I don’t give a hoot what comes out of worm-breaths mouth. This is nothing but politics for him and his merry band of lowlifes.

I haven’t been “thriving” too well under the current regime.

Nothing he says tonight can change the facts. I don’t intend to “get together” with corrupt communists.

You fail again Obama administration.

I would imagine most Americans will think it’s disgusting that Obama and the media are trotting out his bounce in the polls before funerals are even held. Celebrating while others grieve is disgraceful.
