Where are all these foreigners that he is going to naturalize from?

Are these foreigners being required to donate to and vote for Obama in order to be naturalized?

Exactly how many of these foreigners will there be at this ceremony?

How fitting:

The top two traitors in American History soiling the White House and disgracing the country on Independance Day.

Allegiance to who? Oboma? The United Nations?

Is this Bizarro World or what! Two of the biggest stains on the Constitution swearing in new citizens on Indpendence day. Both should be in Leavenworth where they belong. Stains!

I would like to know whether or not they all completed the naturalization process as set out by law and regulation - or were they waived through???

This ceremony brings to mind so many things that are wrong with legitimatizing illegal immigration:

1) Illegal immigrants are not required to learn our history
2) Illegal immigrants are not required to learn how our political process works
3) Illegal immigrants are not required to take an oath of allegiance
4) Illegal immigrants are not required to learn our language

And I’m sure there are many more of these that those who propose allowing amnesty to illegal immigrants - no matter what their age - do not wish to discuss.

I’m wondering if those who are being sworn in think it’s a big waste of time, since illegals don’t have to meet the same requirements as they do.

I’m wondering if our President feels like a hypocrit?

And, is it true that Janet Napolitana will be crossing her fingers on the one hand behind her back, with a wink and a nod as she administers the oath?

That was bogus.
Baraq isn’t going to miss a photo op with the troops on July 4.
He’s got the rest of the week for golf.

ceremony for active duty service members...

I have a cynical attitude to this... these active duty servicemen and woman should be given citizenship, but it's the good cover for a bad POS-otus, who with the other hand, wants to move citizenship for illegals...

I feel the same way, although these folks have earned it. I do get choked up and teary when I see footage of these ceremonies. It should be a day of pride and honor for those new citizens and for all Americans.

If any other President was officiating, I would tune in and watch every rerun I could...but not this guy.

How absolutely bizarre that Obama could preside over a legitimate ceremony that he so recently made a mockery.

What idiot would still take the time and effort to go through a naturalization to be a US Citizen?

What would be the point? Why buy the cow when the milk is free?

Naturalization is not what’s celebrated on July 4th. Totally inappropriate like everything about this poser.
