California is a good example of what Obama's America will be in 2 years: A broke, Third World welfare state where illegal immigrants have more rights than US citizens, unemployment at about 9%, Hispanic gangs ruling the streets, failing schools and crime out of control. Keep paying your taxes to the welfare state but if you ever need your refund, do not expect to receive it!

What your point?
at least the original poster isn't being partisan in his example.
I agree with him, do you?

My point is that anyone who blames Obama for the current mess that California is in is either on drugs, is suffering from blunt trauma to the head, or is just plain STUPID!!!

Other than that, I have no problem with the OP's post...

ROFLMAO!!!

Speaking of...
If you read the post, it is clear that the original poster is not blaming Obama for California's trouble's, but merely holding up that state as an example of what may be in store for the rest of us with Obama's governing.

Consider the fact that the entire U.S economy is reliant on growth to fund its outlays.
The only thing that may save California is the increase in Mexicans willing to work and raise families.
I highly doubt many Mexican labourers wouldn't love to be offered citizenship status. They are the type of immigrant Americans should be looking for. Socially responsible for family and friends, a willingness to participate in free market economics.
They know the problems that government can cause in Mexico and don't want to see it occur up here. One of the reasons many Mexicans support libertarian leaning leaders like Bill Richardson.

Ya know, I'm no expert but most third world countries have pretty non-existant welfare systems.

Cali was a 3rd world state wayyy before Obama got into office.

Are you conservatives gonna blame all the economic problems on Obama too?
