So, what exactly is the point of all this deference to an elected official? How is interrupting him any more rude than interrupting someone else?

People mock Obama and every other POTUS we've had on television or in print, but being rude to one of them is somehow crossing some unforgivable line? That's totally ridiculous and to suggest it's only happening because he's black is the most infantile explanation anyone could possibly conceive.

His very premise was at its core, fundamentally flawed. It stands to reason that everything that follows, in support, is flawed as well, and that everything opposed to his basic premise is therefore, correct.

Sounds like a pretty stupid person. As I said, why import stupid people, we have enough. Deport him.

You don't like him because he dared question Dear Leader.

Just admit it!

Heckling anyone is just rude. You shouldn't heckle the president or anyone. We all should respect each other and allow everyone to have their say and then ask the tough questions.

Of course Sam Donaldson doesn't want to be compared. Leftists hate having the truth of their hypocrisy thrown into their faces. It's the elite leftis mantra of do as I say, not as I did, or I'll deny doing it.

In quoting Sam Donaldson: "..the questions don't do the damage, only the answers do."

It is more repugnant to me that this POTUS, Obama, sees himself as being above answering to the press and thus explaining himself to the American people, on such a major policy shift. Obviously you believe the means justify the end.

No, he's condemning the government's policies on Illegal Immigration. Not Immigration.

There's a very distinct and significant difference and definition between the two.

Do you understand the definitions of Legal and Illegal?

You see, Illegal "Immigration" is not really "Immigration" at all.

What it is, is unlawful Trespassing, unlawful Invasion and unlawful Intrusion.


Let's see if I can help clarify these two distinct concepts and definitions, for you.

Scenario #1: Example of: Illegal Trespassing, Illegal Invasion and Illegal Intrusion:

You and your family sit down at the table to eat dinner. When suddenly, several people break down your door, rush into your house, take the food off your table and eat it themselves. Furthermore, after they consume the food, they take several items you and your wife (or partner) have worked hard to earn money for and purchase. Illegal Trespass, Illegal Invasion and Illegal Intrusion.






Scenario #2: Example of: Legal Trespass:

You and your family are getting ready to sit down and eat dinner, when the door bell rings. You shuffle over to the door and ask who it is. Turns out it's your good buddy. You open the door and wlecome him into your home. You inform him that you are just about ready to sit down and eat dinner and ask him if he would like to join you and your family for a meal. He politely asks if that would leave anyone in the family short on their share of the food. You say, " no, not at all ". We cooked extra protions. So you all sit down and have a nice dinner together.

Legal Trespass and Welcomed into the home.


Understand?

You're Welcome.


The Legal Immigrant in question has every right to criticize and condemn this criminal policy. He took the correct and legal path to come to America. Although, he should have shown some class and done it in a better manner.


Additionally, you Republicans, don't kid yourselves. If you think the GOP/Right Winger majority are not in agreement with this, you're only fooling yourself. The GOP and their corporate masters are without a doubt in on this decision. As much as the Democrat/Liberals and their corporate masters.

Anyone who tries to play the partisan game with this is living in a dream world of ignorance.
