And you believe he could differentiate between a Mexican or an El Salvadorean, or a Costa Rican or a Nicaraguan from a 2nd generation American citizen whose parents immigrated from any of those countries?

Only with divine guidance, which might well be in short supply.

I completely refute that, it's only because some of us are paying attention, and don't believe in the Progressive crap.

What the President typically talks about is ending the redistribution of wealth that has been going on since the Regan era and returning to a more equitable economic structure where the middle class can earn a living that allows them to live in a reasonable dignified manner that shouldn't have to equate to needing subsidy to meet basic needs.

If you still believe the nonsense of "trickle down" economics, it should have become very evident that the crumbs that "trickle down" is hardly sufficient to support a family or even yourself on.

All economic policies of the past several decades have disproportionately favored the wealthiest and corporations. We have removed the safety steps our grand parents and great grand parents put into place to avoid another depression. This wasn't the fault or actions of any individual or political party. Rather it was a systemic eroding of controls slowly over time until the final step of repealing the Glass -Steagall Act, which led to the economic meltdown of 2007-2008 and the resulting fleecing of the middle class in this Country and worldwide.

This was a devastating blow to the world and US economies that we have struggled to recover from. Even though the stock market has regained all losses... the same can't be said for the middle class in this Nation or any other Nation.

But people like you have been subverted by the constant influence of money to suppress the facts and convince you all the problems have been caused by an undeserving poor population. You constantly accuse the President of lying, because you've been fed so much B.S. and it gets repeated so much and spread so many different ways, never being challenged by a disinterested media mostly intent on making money themselves.

President Obama is hardly a perfect man, nor is any of us. I do however believe he sincerely wants to help the middle class in this Country as opposed to those who create the never ending storm of misinformation to create anger in the general population.

It somehow has become a widely held belief among my own demographic (white male, 60+ years old) that President Obama is some horrible force intent upon the destruction of the middle class and even the U.S. This is baseless nonsense and I challenge you to provide pragmatic facts that prove any of the garbage you spew.

President Obama is clearly a Statesman... as far as leader goes... it's a mixed bag. My personal perspective is that he is an "idea" person, but not necessarily someone who excels at implementing those ideas. He was obviously somewhat of an outsider in the Washington sense of things, so he would naturally not have the extensive network of behind the scenes contacts and influence to make things happen in a town that has evolved over the centuries since our Nation was founded, into a web of special interests. Being a bit of a "loner", he hasn't met the expectations many have of being constantly engaged with the President on political matters. This has clearly hurt him in trying to deal with Republicans in Washington. But to be honest, it has been perfectly clear that Republicans have never intended to honestly attempt to work with the President at any level either. Effectively isolating him further. No honeymoon... no grace period... constant obstruction is the day he was sworn into office. That is clearly not a fault on his part.

Money has become the new voice of this country... As individuals, we have lost nearly all control of our elected officials. This is a serious and not easily corrected problem. The people with the power to change this, are part of the problem and highly motivated to see it doesn't change. The system has become stacked to favor the few and the real majority of us are relatively helpless to turn this around.

The only hope we have is if people start to realize it is the middle class of this Country that provides the economic engine to move our economy forward. You can favor business all you want, but until we restore the economic clout of the middle class, there is no consumption base to drive sales forward, outside of military hardware and expenses, which is why neoconservatives have to have constant war to keeping driving wealth to the increasingly narrow elite.

I know you won't believe me...but more and more are starting to realize what is going on. Most of the Country is being deceived by a game of misdirection intentionally perpetrated to invoke anger..., which is astonishingly effective. While I'm not a Catholic, I'm impressed with the new Pope Francis and he clearly sees the issues with "unfettered capitalism", which is the new mantra of so called "conservatives"...

You are good, decent people for the most part... but you have been drug into a destructive mindset by monied interests, intent on keeping the "status quo" for nearly everything... Why??? Just look at the movement of wealth in this Country for the past 30 years and it should become quite evident... They are winning and most of us are losing... I'm personally on the upper end of the middle class and haven't suffered significant harm, although the crash of 2007-2008 has put me in the situation of being unable to retire yet, and I don't know when I will be able to do so at this point. But I can see the damage all around me... my kids, my family, my friends, my neighbors... all being pushed further and further to the brink of poverty themselves.

Those of us lucky enough to have survived so far should be open minded and realize that those being pressed to the level of the "working poor"... do not deserve that fate and we as a society either resolve this problem, or we will cease to exist as a society. Otherwise the "violent correction" the Pope referred to, is just a historic fact that has played out time and time again throughout history. He's not a liberal living in a fantasy... he's a man with the historic and global vision to recognize what is going on and what it inevitably will lead to if left uncorrected.

First of all the name is Reagan not Regan. And the problems in America began long before the 80s. We began bleeding jobs in the 60s. First went textiles then electronics. In the 70s Toyota began gaining a foothold. Middle Class workers could barely afford a home under Carter with 16% mortgage interest rates. But those wealthy enough to have tons of cash in the bank earned very nice interest incomes in those days.

Trickle Down does work. Why do you think Obama invested money in Solyndra? He wanted to infuse capital at the top to create or help build a green industry which would eventually " trickle' down into jobs. How do you think the Clinton economy was built? Venture capitalists risking large sums of money on Dot Coms. This becomes problematic when a government hack like Obama attempts to make such investments with taxpayer money. Just this week Fisker filed bankruptcy. Another Obama funded loser. Trickle Up Poverty seems to be working very well. Now we have more poor than ever.

I don't know ANYONE who supports unfettered capitalism other than extreme libertarians. The toughest corporate regulatory law in American history was Sarbanes Oxley signed by Bush.

It is such a shame that the "lambs" follow, without question, the propaganda paid for by those who purely wish to have their own way and dictate their wishes, through subtle innuendos (some not so subtle) so that they may change this country from the republic it was intended "of the people, etc" into the dictatorship they desire.

I detect that this post is Obama positive mostly. I believe Obama is completely left and has a serious agenda to destroy this country. He bowed to Arab leaders, and also to the Emperor of Japan. He did this as President of the U.S. and therefore representing ME. I was outraged then and still am by this single act. He has repeatedly lied about healthcare. This is indisputable. What else is needed. There is much more but not enough room here to post. ???????

The man said he could tell that "SOME" folks were not from this country -- he did not say he could tell that all or that he could tell which folks were not from this country.
Some people here can spin just about anything that other people say into something that was not meant at all.

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...
