Obama Hate Speech In Obama's Own WordsBarack Obama views America through very critical and radical eyes. In a recent interview given to the NBC Spanish language broadcast arm, Univision, on the mid-term campaign trail, Barack Obama speaks about the view of illegal immigrants who (from his point-of-view) are potentially sitting on the sidelines, sheathing for a way for America to act on their behalf.
What is interesting about this interview is the way Barack Obama uses the voice of the Latin American illegal immigrant to pull forward his divisive point of view of what American Values ought to be.
This Excerpted and edited from LA Time Blog reprint of the Univision interview transcript - Transcript of President Barack Obama with Univision
October 25, 2010 | 1:14 pm
President Barack Obama was interviewed by Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo last week in Los Angeles for a Univision radio program that aired Monday.
Sotelo asked the president to focus on immigration. When the Spanish-language radio giant suggested that the Obama administration was more dedicated to fixing issues like healthcare than immigration, the president disagreed.
“My cabinet has been working very hard on trying to get it done, but ultimately, I think somebody said the other day, I am president, I am not king. I can't do these things just by myself. We have a system of government that requires the Congress to work with the executive branch to make it happen. I'm committed to making it happen, but I've gotta have some partners to do it,” Obama said.

POTUS: Well, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna see how well we do in this election and I think a lot of it is gonna depend on whether we still have some support not only from Democrats, but also Republicans, but they're gonna be paying attention to this election.
And if Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us, if they don't see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it's gonna be harder and that's why I think it's so important that people focus on voting on November 2.Reference Here>>
So, the President of the United States engages in a divide and conqurer - American against American - by speaking a voice that suggests a war within ... he further stated that
"And that's why this election coming up is so important because we essentially have to say that those who are politicizing the issue, who are supportive of the Arizona law, who talk only about border security but aren't willing to talk about the other aspects of this, who don't support the Dream Act, who are out there engaging in rhetoric that is divisive and damaging that -- those aren't the kinds of folks who represent our core American values."So basically, Americans who believe in sovereignty are to be viewed as enemies and do not represent core American values. Thanks!
These are the thoughts of a man who ran for the office of President of the United States on the premise that there are no Red States, or Blue States but there is only the United States of America.
Talk about whipping up the "BASE" ... I do not know about you, but the hateful thoughts and attitudes expressed above are nothing more than
the real thoughts and attitudes of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama!

Well, Mr. Obama is right. There is a war, there is far too much in-fighting and America has forgotten the very principles the nation was founded upon. What Mr. Obama has to say here has absolutely nothing to do with hate and his words are far kinder than what someone like myself would have to say about America's present actions and condition.Your dismal reporting simply serves as yet another deploring example.From torture to pilfering of wealth both locally and globally, our nation exhibits the trademarks of a true dictatorship, while the people delude themselves with fantasies of a mature democracy. Immigration has far less to do with national sovereignty that say "Free Market" trading. Immigrants assimilate into a culture. Granted, to varying degrees, but ultimately they post allegiance to America in some form. Mr. Obama is not calling "Red" or "Blue" states here; he is calling for those who truly understand the issues to get out and "vote." He is telling us governments needs to work as a partnership for the people, a task it has not lived up to in some 100 years.On the other hand, research many of your Fortune 500 companies. Seldom have they made decisions that encourage national sovereignty. Just the opposite, preferring to weaken it as much as possible, all with the support of both Republicans and Democrats. They take your tax dollars, whether government contracts or handouts, and move that wealth overseas into private bank accounts. In some cases they remove the entire corporate structure overseas to avoid legal and tax consequences.Consider your words carefully and examine your reporting a little closer and follow all leads, not just what bubbles to the surface. Illegal immigration is a bubble at the surface. When you dig deep, you suddenly find illegal immigrants share the exact same issues as the average American trying to make sense of an uncertain future they have little control over. Just another example of the real problem of America. The people no longer truly understand the issues. Instead, they seek out scapegoats, such as illegal immigrants. Unfortunately that only serves to deflect the real issues and then, nothing gets done. Meanwhile the real issues that destroy America continue unmitigated. I recommend a good book for you to start with. Read "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein. She is an award-winning journalist and a superb investigative reporter. Learn how she gets below the surface and follows all leads no matter how insignificant those leads seem at the surface. It is often those seemly insignificant leads that turn out to be the fuel that feeds the raging fire.

How cruel and anti-immigrant for the American people to have laws governing immigration. Open the doors wide and let all comers in. F#%k the law. We don't need no stink'n laws. We're progressives. Laws are for Republicans.

Laws are the enemy of the uncivilized, socialists, and, of course ... the lawless! Welcome to the statements of our lawless, uncivilized, progressive/socialist 44th President of the United States. What a fiasco!

It's a shame that politics, if one uses such as a terminology for this transgression, has become the desire to forfeit the law for the purpose of PC advocacy.

"And that's why this election coming up is so important because we essentially have to say that those who are politicizing the issue, who are supportive of the Arizona law, who talk only about border security but aren't willing to talk about the other aspects of this, who don't support the Dream Act, who are out there engaging in rhetoric that is divisive and damaging that -- those aren't the kinds of folks who represent our core American values."
The issues of the current state of immigration are more complex than simply enforcing the laws on the books. Multiple administrations allowed the number to build. Failing to adequately fund and staff the immigration service permitted the backlog and enforcement problem to grow well beyond the capacity to manage. Simple minded solutions don't apply, and interpreting the President's remarks as such, IMO is inaccurate.

YJ - If our country begins with the basics, secure the border, make employers liable, and enforce existing law for at least one year ... self-deportation will help ease some of the problems our country has been suffering from for these last 12+ years.
After that, then let us consider the other Reaganesque AMNESTY solutions that have been tried but never completely implemented. Sovereignty should be the primary priority.
