Please only respond if you read the article.

Auntie Zeituni makes it "Work" | Boston Herald

The article makes some fair points about the problems with welfare and other assistance programs in America. It also points out Obama's disingenuous remarks about not meeting anyone ever that would rather collect a check on unemployment than have a job.

However, bringing in his aunt who is collecting $ on the public dole and then pointing out how she entered the country illegally...is that not crossing the line as she is NOT a public figure? Yes it shows that Obama's words were delusional or a lie...but should this kind of article be tolerated?

If it was President George W. Bush would you have as much sympathy? Probably not.

Does it really matter if anything "crosses the line" when dealing with President Obama?

Not with this crowd.

Or, turn on the TV or internet and see far leftists making excuses for anything that Obama does, explaining what he "really meant" versus what he actually said or did.

It is "pretty much the norm now".

You missed the point, the redencks you see online and on tv that go insane over Obama like he's make all this criticism normal and not surprising.

What does that have to do with crossing the line? The tread topic is not "what is the norm".

What line did it cross? The line of too much truth?

But c’mon … what about the 9 million plus on SSDI? It’s so out of control the Democrat district attorney of Manhattan uncovered a $400 million ripoff centered in the NYPD and FDNY. Husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, a 32-year-old — all being coached by shysters how to dress shabbily, misspell the simplest words and stare off into space when asked questions — they were, in short, being trained to behave like Obama voters.
