Even Republicans like Tom Coburn are beginning to admit that the wealthy will need to be taxed at a higher rate in order to balance future budgets.

Votes from Mexican-Americans in all states. He knows he's already lost in Texas so there it doesn't matter. He's a song and dance politician doing the old soft-shoe..

He wont help Texas because it is doing well under a Rep leader and he is doing everything he can to screw that up.


Again, another Obama MISTAKE and poor decision.

This is an every day thing for Obama.

The mistake a day dunce. Wonder what he will get for sending help to Mexico in return?


It is really unbelievable the mistakes this idiot makes. And the preferential treatment he blatantly gives to his 'supporters' - no matter how corrupt - is pathetic.

Gotta love his divisive tactics. Divide and then conquer the idiots - that must be his strategy because no one with a brain would support this dunce.

"mistake a day dunce" Love it!

You really do have to wonder. Obama simply seems to not care about the American people.

He's so eager for the votes of illegals that he will send aid to their country that he won't send to people of Texas, and he's promising them free education here, jobs here, and quickl easy citizenship here.

I think Obama's 'agenda' has always been very clear....it is all about himself and his ideologies that are ruining this country. Now he is desperate for votes, especially since Acorn has been exposed and is no longer a viable source for his numerous votes.

Government Sends Wildfire Aid To Mexico, Not Texas
Texas wildfires have only scorched a bit more than 1.5 million acres and destroyed over 250 homes in Texas since January. The feds have helped, and because of this, Texas owes the federal government about $30 million. I'll bet 0bama would not charge Mexico one red cent.

0bama campaigned for and received the "Hispanic" vote in 2008, and during the two years his political party had the presidency, and held super majorities in the senate and congress, 0bama did not even bother with a comprehensive immigration bill. He waits until he loses the congress completely, and loses his super in the senate, and after he starts his reelection campaign....... and then.... suddenly, a comprehensive immigration bill is important to him again. Can you spell vote pandering?

Obama Snubs Rick Perry s Letter :: U4Prez, Social Networking For Politics
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry's meeting at the Austin airport with President Barack Obama on border security lasted a mere 34 seconds, and Perry had to hand a letter on the issue to presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett because Obama declined to personally accept it.
NO ONE, has EVER handed the President a letter. Not Obama, not Clinton, not Reagan, not Nixon...NOT ONE PRESIDENT in the current era(20th century to current).

Attempting to portray the fact as President Obama is the only one is simply ludicrous and flat out wrong.
