this is the 6th paragraph of that transcript---
Now, both parties wrote this legislation, and year and a half ago, Democrats passed the Dream Act in the House, but Republicans walked away from it. It got 55 votes in the Senate, but Republicans blocked it. The bill hasn’t really changed; the need hasn’t changed. It’s still the right thing to do. The only thing that has changed, apparently, was the politics.
yes, the bill passed through the house & here is the actual house vote.....
http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/111/house/2/625 hope you noticed that 38 dems voted no & 8 dems didn't even vote however, 8 repubs voted yes & 11 didn't even vote...now to the senate vote........
again (since i wrote about this before), this is obama doing what he does best---lie. yes, the bill got 55 votes but, do you mean to tell me that obama doesn't know who voted for or against it? here is the senate vote proving that it was not the repubs that defeated the bill:::::::::
obama doesn't mention those 5 crucially needed dem votes he failed to get that caused the failure of the dream act---he lies & blames it on the repubs &, the media says nothing &, america is left thinking it was the repubs fault simply because obama said so...
this is the 8th paragraph of that transcript---
Today there are fewer illegal crossings than at any time in the past 40 years. We focus and use discretion about whom to prosecute, focusing on criminals who endanger our communities rather than students who are earning their education. And today deportation of criminals is up 80 percent. We’ve improved on that discretion carefully and thoughtfully.
where was the 'focus' & 'discretion' on this (& please bear in mind, this occured within 2 weeks of today's speech)?????????
& then you have this...5th paragraph up from the bottom of the transcript..........
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Here’s the reason — because these young people are going to make extraordinary contributions and are already making contributions to our society. I’ve got a young person who is serving in our military, protecting us and our freedom. The notion that in some ways we would treat them as expendable makes no sense.
my questions are these::::who is this young person &, if they are undocumented, how did they ever get into our military???
while the media may give obama a free pass, i don't care for his lies......he can't get the votes he needs from his own party & rather then admit that as a 'LEADER', he'd rather continue to lie to you.........
everything in 'bold' comes from the NY TIMES transcript.........
