why was 'take back America' a fine and good thing when obama was involved, but a horrific, 'racist' thing mere years later?

the part you failed to include:
Yep, the youth drug rehab overflowing in Bellvue isn't any indication. Bellvue overflowing, young addicts being pushed out in a week when the recommended stay was 30 days. No problem there. The estimate was current, 1953, for the hearing, your quote was a little dated.

Just posted a link to the text, I'm not seeing anything questionable. Obama actually quoted Newt.

how many people did they have room for initially? if they had a capacity of three, that isn't exactly meaningful.
