THere are some very good reasons for supporting this. To hold them accountable. To keep track of them for when Obama starts working on the illegal issue.
Obama supports driver's licenses for illegals

Umm, $125K in Somerset County, NJ - try the working poor - and far from comfortable.

I wasn't saying just illegals. Hardworking Americans that can't afford health insurance are taken care of for free. At least they are here. It is simple to walk into a healthcare facility and receive care for free. The rest of us already pay for it with our premiums. I don't want to pay more for someone else.

I'm sorry, I just don't agree with his positions. My grandparents were around during the depression and made far less put together than my mother did alone. My grandfather died and left my grandmother set up. My mother died penniless. No, she did not put me through school, etc. I did.

It was called hard work and planning that put my grandmother in the position she is in today. My mother's generation is all about me, me, me.... I think that's precisely what's wrong with America today. It's all about how YOU are going to take care of ME.

Well, I take care of me and my family and am teaching my kids to do the same. Will I hand them a college education for free?? No way. You appreciate things more when you work for them. And you'll get more out of it too.

No, not all public schools are equal, which was my point in saying, it's what YOU make of it with your kids. Ultimately, the parents are responsible for what the kids learn. That's just a fact.

I'm sorry for your sister, but she can get care. They can't turn her away.

Well, he said I fell for the GOP hook, line and sinker - I didn't. I asked how Obama was going to do more for me than McCain and so far I've been left with dead silence.

Bueller, Bueller......
