That seems to be his plan, to buy votes here, buy vote there and buy more votes from that group over yonder.

Obama: "Vote for me, and I'll have the DOJ refuse to enforce a law, or give you a waiver to disobey a law, or use millions in free taxpayer dollars to buy you a 'manufacturing hub' or subsidize you ethanol or solar or whatever it takes to buy your vote."

White House invests $30 million in Ohio manufacturing hub - Washington Times


And just like all things, when the subsidy is to longer there to support it.
It dies and becomes another waste of tax payer funds.

So let me ask you again: Do you think the money should NOT have been released NOW? Will you answer that question?
Yes. You asked a question followed by your own assessment of your question: "Do you see how ridiculous and selfish that sounds?"

That's akin to saying, "do you believe in feeding your kids, but not today? Do you see how ridiculous and selfish that sounds?"

Yep. That sure is a ridiculous question.

We could go back and forth that way all day. That's a misuse of a forum that allows for thoughtful, intelligent discourse, which too often people don't take advantage of.

My answer to your question is moot. If it's not obvious to the reader, there's no point.

If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what's broken and build on what works." (President Barack Obama, Address To The American Medical Association, Chicago, IL, 6/15/09)"
And maybe you should listen more closely to the word ALL "campaign goals." Obama obviously did use the word "promise" regarding healthcare, and he kept that promise.

I could pose ridiculous questions and ask you how ridiculous they sound. We could go back and forth that way all day. That's a misuse of a forum that allows for thoughtful, intelligent discourse, which too often people don't ake advantage of.

Your belief in your superior intellect is noted.

And, so you refuse to actually answer the question with a simple yes or no. IMO, that is a blatant example of ego and concern with politics only. You got caught in your own trap in a debate. Why on earth won't you just type out the words yes or no to such a simple question?

He promised, but did you really mean to say "he kept that promise" ????

It's elementary, my dear Watson.

Try connecting the dots. Obama's Executive Order for DREAM Amnesty, lines miles long of illegal aliens applying, and release of the "we can't wait" funds. Obama will be putting the DREAM Amnesty recepients to work.

Got a link for that quote? Guess not because it's NOT an Obama quote but it certainly is misleading.

Why don't you try to get out of the dots? That's my point. As far as the funds being released here and now, is it even possible for those blinded by the "dots" to see that there is a positive impact of this action in the future by creating jobs which will help individuals and families........Do you really believe that all the future jobs will go to "illegal aliens"? You have to be viewing the entire world through an enormously jaded perception to see the release of these funds as a complete negative. Try to find your way out of those "dots" long enough to see the light once in awhile.

Again, you don't like the timing so you guys want to trash the whole thing?
