What damage might that be? We read from the hard-right that 'Obama has destroyed the country.' Really? I think the U.S. is in much better shape today than when Obama took office.

Back then, the nation was shedding 800,000 jobs a month. Now, there has been job gains every month for at least 70 months. When gas prices were around $4, righties blamed Obama. Do they now praise Obama for gas approaching $1? I could go on, but in the real world, Obama has done not only no damage but has righted many wrongs.

The law made it so illegals could benefit from it. There was no requirement to prove anything. Just sign up and its yours.

This is from Sec 1101 of the law:

Quote:
(d) Eligible Individual- An individual shall be deemed to be an eligible individual for purposes of this section if such individual--

(1) is a citizen or national of the United States or is lawfully present in the United States (as determined in accordance with section 1411);
What do you people expect Obama to do? Some people violate the law. When they do and they are found, they are subject to consequences.

LOL! Under just about any other administration you might have a point. Under this one... not so much.

Thanks for the laugh.
