He's stereotyping. He's possibly racially profiling. This country has citizens literally from all over the world.

Barack Obama is assuming that he can determine whether or not an individual was born in the U.S. by "looking them in the face." That is what he claimed.

That's somewhere up there close to being able to walk on water...

OK I will give you that. But I live in Texas and yes there are those that do stand out from others. (I am assuming he was talking about people from Mexico)

Really??? I guess there is no limit to what some of you will try to d**g into everything our President ever says... What about the content of the speech?

The President has a sense of humor... he has the patience of Job apparently in that he has never "lost it" from the constant attacks from the right... He pokes fun at his situation all the time... Why do you focus on every single line... every single word... to look for something to be "outraged" over??? Are we out of kindergarten yet?

I think the content of the speech was, "What more can we do to screw over the American people."

I am so old that kindergarten wasn't something that every kid got to attend so I started in 1st Grade. I find many things in the words Obama squeals that I find humorous and at the same time very sad because of what he means. In this one he was talking about going around Congress with EOs if he can't get a Dream Act passed by them. i guess you didn't get to hear the whole thing, though.

You hardly have to look very far to find something Obama does to be outraged over. I know you were referring to things he's said, not done, but what he says and what he does are rarely the same, so what he says is pretty much irrelevant.

I'm beginning to suspect that the folks who've been " knocked out " were scanning their tablets/phones looking for some more stuff to use against a sitting President. I think it's funny that those who accuse him of being C*******t or Socialist ( can't be BOTH by the way ) don't realize that, were it true, They would be arrested for saying so. Should these " detractors " decide to turn their energy to something positive, no telling what might be accomplished.

Thank you. It's good to hear from an intelligent and worldly person.

Unfortunately, "the content of his speech" is a direct indictment of the poor man's character.

He has no sense of humor. What you're mistaking as humor is scorn, derision and mockery.

I speed-read, barely scan the transcript of a speech - and I haven't been outraged in years.

Are you outraged?

Is that the imperial "we"?

How can you tell someone wasn't born here by looking at them?

The content of his speech is always the redistribution of wealth, social justice and any other Liberal lies he happens to be preoccupied with at the moment. He is truly a moron, that embarrasses himself every time he gets off the teleprompter. Statesman, Leader, not so much. If we disagree with his radical left policies, we are r****t? I completely refute that, it's only because some of us are paying attention, and don't believe in the Progressive crap.

Using X ray glasses. I had some as a kid so I could see girls underpants. I'm sure it could be modified to determine country of origin.

Maybe he could tell because he is speaking from experience.
