Obama Urges Hispanics to Punish "Enemies," Vote Democratic
American Spectator ^ | 10.25.10 @ 4:11PM | By W. James Antle, III
President Obama is trying to use "comprehensive immigration reform" to whip up Hispanic turnout next week...
"....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," [Obama] said.....

this is not racism
the Repubs consider the dems their enemies (with Obama as enemy #1) and the middle class and working class as well
Do Republicans do anything to represent the interests of Latino's who are legal citizens of this country (which is who Obama is talking to)?

Obama Tells Republicans to 'Sit in Back'
Published October 25, 2010 | Associated Press

WOONSOCKET, R.I. -- President Barack Obama attacked Republicans with gusto Monday as he plunged into a final week of midterm election campaigning, but his party's prognosis remained darkened by the feeble economy and his itinerary was designed largely to minimize losses.
Nor was his greeting totally friendly in a state where Obama has pointedly declined to endorse his party's candidate for governor.
Obama can "take his endorsement and shove it," declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republican-turned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a Rhode Island gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.
In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and for a pair of fundraisers that party officials said would bring in $500,000.
He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."
Democrats relied on more than the president's time to boost their chances in the final days of the campaign. There was the matter of federal funds, too, in the form of an estimated $2.5 billion in grants announced during the day to provide high-speed rail service in California, between Chicago and Iowa, and elsewhere.
Administration officials left it to Democratic lawmakers to make the announcements, and they did, stressing the job-creating potential of the expansions. Some Republicans expressed objections to the funding in a time of record deficits.
Eight days before the election, the principal uncertainty concerned the size and scope of anticipated Democratic losses in the House, the Senate, governor's races and state legislatures.
An Associated Press-GfK Poll showed that perhaps one-third of all voters have yet to firmly settle on their choices. But that wasn't encouraging for the Democrats, either. About 45 percent of them prefer the Republican candidate for the House, and 38 percent like the Democrat.
The president arrived as official figures showed more than 6.5 million ballots already have been cast in the 25 states where early voting is permitted or where absentees have been counted, underscoring the importance of get-out-the-vote programs that now begin long before Election Day.
Democrats have invested heavily in such efforts and are counting on them to help tip close races their way in states like Nevada, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid faces tea party-backed challenger Sharron Angle. Republicans are counting on campaign enthusiasm -- polls agree their voters are more eager to cast ballots than Democrats -- as well as their own get-out-the-vote efforts.
Even Democrats concede Republicans are poised for significant gains in Congress, and GOP officials are particularly optimistic about their chances for taking control of the House.
Based on opinion polls and the private assessments of strategists in both parties, it appears Republicans have effectively secured about two dozen of the 40 seats they need to win control of the House.
That leaves dozens of seats where races are competitive in the House and a half-dozen or so in the Senate. Republicans also look for statehouse gains.
Obama's choice of Rhode Island for his one-day trip was partially to raise money for Democratic House candidates elsewhere in the country. Officials said the $500,000 would be split between Providence Mayor David Cicilline, who is running for the House, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The state has two House seats, one held by Democratic Rep. James Langevin, an incumbent in no apparent difficulty; the other being vacated by Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy. There, Cicilline is running against Republican John Loughlin in a heavily Democratic state.
The state's unemployment is measured at 11.5 percent, the fourth highest in the country. In his first stop, the president visited a company that makes buckles and straps for outdoor and travel gear, saying he and the Democrats in Congress have cut small business taxes 16 times in 20 months. Republicans "talk a good game" when it comes to tax cuts, he said, but in fact they opposed several bills he labored to get passed.
"It's not enough to just play politics," he said. "You can't focus on the next election. You've got to focus on the next generation."
Caprio called Obama's rebuff "Washington insider politics at its worst." Rhode Island's congressional delegation expressed disapproval about Caprio's remarks, but the executive director of the Democratic Governors Association said the president's decision was disappointing.
"Frank Caprio has spent his career fighting for the values of the Democratic Party. He deserves the full support of our party and its leaders," said executive director Nathan Daschle.
If anything, the White House made it clearer that Caprio will not get Obama's endorsement. "Out of respect for his friend Lincoln Chafee, the president decided not to get involved in this race," said White House spokesman Bill Burton. It was the first time the White House had cited Chafee as the reason for Obama's non-endorsement of a Democrat.
White House aides also arranged for Obama to tour a factory as part of a campaign-long effort to showcase efforts by his administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress to assist small businesses. In a conference call to reporters on Sunday night, they said American Cord & Webbing had been able to hire back all of the employees laid off last year and was planning on hiring more. They said the company won approval from the Small Business Administration last month for a loan to make possible an expansion of the facility.
Coast to coast, the multimillion-dollar ad war continued unabated.
The Republican Senate campaign committee announced it would put $3 million into a final-week fleet of ads designed to help Carly Fiorina defeat Sen. Barbara Boxer in a California race that is close in the polls.
Democrats hastened to Reid's side in Nevada. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., became the latest lawmaker to send out an urgent e-mail fundraising appeal for the top Democrat.
It said the same wealthy Texans who attacked his Vietnam War record during the 2004 presidential campaign were now aiming at Reid. "These guys will say anything and spend anything to get what they want," Kerry wrote.
Obama was returning to the White House for a few days before resuming campaigning at week's end. His itinerary then will include Bridgeport, Conn., where party officials are hoping he can mobilize African-Americans whose votes are needed in races for the Senate and governor, as well as a re-election bid by Democratic Rep. Jim Himes.
Obama also will campaign in Pennsylvania, where polls show Rep. Joe Sestak in a close race with Republican Pat Toomey -- for a Senate seat that Democrats currently hold. Similarly, there are numerous Democratic-held House seats in the state that Obama is working to hold.
Later stops are in Ohio, where Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland is struggling to win a new term against Republican challenger John Kasich, and the president's home state of Illinois, where polls show both a Senate seat and the governor's office are in danger of falling to the Republicans.

The race baiting of this scumbag is without precedent.

True but im still not hearing any solutions from the repub.

True but im still not hearing any solutions from the repub.
The first step is to put the breaks on the insanity.
People don't like the GOP, in fact they hate the GOP. However, they also don't like the REID-PELOSI-OBAMA trifecta of insanity and want divided govt. at this point.

??? ??? ???
You are kidding right?
of course not
what part is not accurate?
-
of course not
what part is not accurate?
The GOP was completely locked out of the Health Care debater as well as the Stim Bill nonsense. The Stim Bill was prepared long before the election even occured. Do you really believe that a 2000 page bill gets drafted in a month and a half straw?
Additionally - why should the GOP work with him on things that they are dead set against?
If McCain had won the election and immediately pushed for a full repeal of all abortion laws and welfare and union protections, do you think the Dems would have worked with him? Of course not.
Straw - what you and your far left friends dont grasp is that obama's agenda is a complete disaster and no one likes it but may a vocal fring 20% of the nation.
The GOP is going to win record victories next week because they have said HELL NO to the crap obama is trying to do.
-
The GOP was completely locked out of the Health Care debater as well as the Stim Bill nonsense. to
you're joking right.
the stim bill included 30-40% of tax cuts as the Repubs wanted and they still voted against it yet somehow that didn't stop the very same Repubs from taking Stim $'s
the healthcare bill was a watered down compromise to try to appeal to the wishes of the few Repubs who would vote for it and yet they still got no Repub support
Repubs represent the interest of large corporations against the interest of the majority of Americans.....period

I agree that his deal with the Pharma lobbying group sucks (and said so at the time) but that didn't stop the Repubs from getting invovled (and you know of course the Repubs did the same damn thing when they let the very same lobbying group essentially write the Bushes Medicare legislation and then passed it in the middle of the night). Obama and the Dems bent over backwards to include the Republicans in the legislation but still got zero Republican support in the end. If thats' going to be the result then why waste the time making the effort and winding up with a watered down bill that really pleases no one.

Democrats Lock Republicans Out Of Room To Prevent Them From Issuing Subpoenas In Countrywide Scandal
Proof • October 21, 2009
So, uh, this is that new spirit of bipartisanship being ushered in by Nancy Pelosi’s “most ethical Congress ever” right?
House Republicans have complained all year that Democrats have locked them out of the legislative process.
On Tuesday, those complaints took a turn from figurative to literal.
A spokesman for House Oversight and Government Reform ranking member Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Democrats changed the lock on the door from the GOP’s meeting room to the main committee chamber, and informed Republicans that Democrats would retain the only set of keys.
Republicans say the move was retaliation for a behind-the-scenes video they shot that showed committee Democrats leaving their meeting room through a back door 30 minutes after they canceled a hearing that the majority said conflicted with Members’ schedules.
Before that hearing was terminated early, Issa was scheduled to call for a vote on whether the committee should issue a subpoena for records and documents relating to the Countrywide Financial VIP mortgage program. Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd (Conn.) and Kent Conrad (N.D.) obtained mortgages from the program, prompting Issa and other Republicans to question whether Dodd and Conrad obtained below-market rates because of their positions. However, the Senate Ethics Committee cleared both lawmakers in the matter.
As I’ve posted before, the Countrywide scandal is far from over. The Senate Ethics Committee did issue a ruling exonerating Senators Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd from any wrong doing, but that committee didn’t release any of the exculpatory evidence they used to make their decision. In fact, a lot of evidence from Countrywide (now owned by Bank of America) was never subpoenaed including recordings of conversations with VIP loans recipients like Senator Conrad which have now been destroyed.
Rep. Issa and other Republicans want to subpoena these records. And Democrats are stifling their efforts through childish tactics like ending meetings early and now actually locking Republicans out of the room.
It’s, well, pathetic.

C-SPAN Demands Democrats Open Secret Health Reform Talks
By Doug Heye
Posted: January 5, 2010

By Doug Heye, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
If there is one institution in Washington whose integrity is unquestioned, it is C-SPAN. The network calls it straight down the middle by not calling it at all, and is treated with the same respect by Democrats, Republicans, and independents that it treats the Democrats, Republicans, and independents who call in every morning. From gavel-to-gavel coverage of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, uninterrupted coverage of important congressional hearings and airing of various political press conferences and seminars, C-SPAN provides an important service to every American voter—bringing your government to you and providing the sunshine open government necessitates.
Unfortunately, the network can cover only those congressional meetings held in the public. Voters hoping to follow the process of the House and Senate working out the differences of their respective healthcare reform bills are left in the dark. C-SPAN will not be covering the House-Senate conference on the legislation because there will not be any such conference. As reported by the Associated Press, Congressional Quarterly, USA Today, the Washington Post, and, not insignificantly, Peter Roff with U.S. News & World Report, House and Senate Democrats will negotiate the legislation in private, far away from the prying eyes of Capitol Hill Republicans and far away from prying cameras.
Enter C-SPAN.
In a December 30 letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader John Boehner, C-SPAN Chairman and CEO Brian Lamb formally requested that congressional leaders open up the healthcare negotiations to the media.
"President Obama, Senate and House leaders, many of your rank-and-file members, and the nation's editorial pages have all talked about the value of transparent discussions on reforming the nation's health care system," Lamb wrote. "Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the Chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American."
That Democrats want to work on the bill in secret is no surprise. Poll after poll has shown the legislation to be wildly unpopular with voters and we all saw what happened when everyday Americans had the opportunity to voice their opinion to their elected officials during the August recess—bedlam.
"No one knows what goes on behind closed doors," country singer Charlie Rich reminded us in his 1973 hit song.
So far, that's where things stand with the final negotiations of the healthcare legislation, just as it had for much of the issue's legislative journey. Even while Reid declared in November that transparency is "one of the guiding principles of health insurance reform," Democrats sought to work out the final details of the bill in secret and rush a new bill through before the American people know what hit them.
Republicans, all too familiar to being locked out by Democrats, aren't holding their breath—and Lamb's letter has yet to receive a reply. C-SPAN's open call for full transparency is a highly unusual move for a media organization that steadfastly refuses to take sides, demonstrating how far Democrats have gone in cloaking the healthcare bill with more secrecy than even the Washington Wizards locker room.
It also boxes the Democrats in—it will be awfully hard for any Democrat to accuse C-SPAN of being the research arm of the Republican Party.

GOP Decries Obama Strategy For Health Care Summit And Calls For Starting Over
Christina Bellantoni | February 15, 2010, 10:
The invitations had barely landed in Congressional inboxes before Republican leadership started calling President Obama's upcoming White House health care summit a "backroom deal."
The Obama administration's invitation to the Feb. 25 summit informs members that text of a "proposed health insurance reform package" will be posted online before the meeting. A White House official tells TPMDC that the text will be the product of the discussions that have been ongoing between the House and Senate since each chamber passed their bills last year.
That's the sticking point for the GOP, who say Obama is inviting them to a meeting but doesn't really want their ideas if he already has a draft bill.
"A productive bipartisan discussion should begin with a clean sheet of paper," Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said in a statement this weekend.
Boehner said it's clear from the invitation that Obama and Democratic leaders "intend to arrive with a new bill written behind closed doors exclusively by Democrats," a charge the administration says is nonsense.
"They will then engage a largely handpicked audience in a televised 'dialogue' according to a script they have largely pre-determined," Boehner said.
He added: "They will do this as a precursor to embarking on a legislative course that Democratic congressional aides acknowledge has also been pre-determined -- a partisan course that relies on parliamentary tricks to circumvent the will of the American people and engineer a pre-determined outcome. It doesn't sound much like bipartisanship to me."
We asked Boehner's office if this means he'll decline the invitation but we haven't heard back.
The minority leader also pointed Obama to the Republican health care plan, which you can read here.
White House aides referred us back to Obama's comments about continuing to seek bipartisanship at his impromptu press conference last week, and added the letter "lays out pretty clearly that we want both sides to bring ideas."
For his part, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said his party wants to consult with Obama's team on the best format for the meeting.
He took a different message from Obama's invitation.
"While the American people have already rejected the health spending bills pending in Congress, today it appears the President has heard their calls to scrap the 2,700-page, partisan bill and start over," McConnell said in a statement.
He said Republicans are offering a "step-by-step approach that Americans are calling for," and added that the bill Obama is considering is partisan and "devoid of support from the American people" and has "diminished faith in this government's capacity to listen."
"Let us not make the same mistake twice. We will consult with the White House about the proposed format and topics in order to maximize the effectiveness of the meeting," McConnell said.

you're joking right.
the stim bill included 30-40% of tax cuts as the Repubs wanted and they still voted against it yet somehow that didn't stop the very same Repubs from taking Stim $'s
the healthcare bill was a watered down compromise to try to appeal to the wishes of the few Repubs who would vote for it and yet they still got no Repub support
Repubs represent the interest of large corporations against the interest of the majority of Americans.....period
What tax cuts were in the stimulus bill?I havent seen tax rates go down by one percent since Obama took over.

I will again not jump on the "racist" bandwagon... If Angle isn't then this isn't...
However, I find this divisive speech absolutely disgusting and Obama should be fucking ashamed for using speech that calls other citizens of this country "enemies" for believing what they believe.

We are now in a cycle of escalating crap like this and it seems that being 'moderate" or level headed is not going to get any traction.
My only point is that its not only the right wing doing this.

All the dealings I have with legal immigrants, they just as and in some cases more so against illegal immigration. Don't know what Obama thinks he is going to accomplish with this.

I agree... Legals who have gone through the process can't stand an illegal immigrant.

Man it's still inspiring the way Obama is uniting the nation ::)
Tell me about it. Sounds like he learned a lot from Chicago politics.

No president in U.S. history has ever referred to those who oppose his agenda as enemies. No U.S. president has ever called fellow American citizens the enemy for having a different view and opinion.
No president will ever have the full support of every American on every issue, doesn't happen won't ever happen but the president is still responsible for holding up the symbolism of unity among the people, responsible for representing the American people as a whole, not simply "his friends."
Obama has once again, and perhaps in a stronger manner than ever before, once again proved he despises what it means to be the United States.

Obama Urges Hispanics to Punish "Enemies," Vote Democratic
American Spectator ^ | 10.25.10 @ 4:11PM | By W. James Antle, III
President Obama is trying to use "comprehensive immigration reform" to whip up Hispanic turnout next week...
"....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," [Obama] said.....

Obama is a racist. That is a hell of a president we got. Using race to bait a few more votes. This is the same fool that many touted would bring the nation together.
Billy is right. Obama hates white people.

For centuries, many native born have hated immigrants, legal or illegal, even if those immigrants are the same race and color as the haters. Have you watched Gangs of New York? :)

Hispanics who immigrated from Socialist or Communist countries, such as Cuba and Venezuela, dislike Obama very very much and view him with much suspicion.

This in itself should be enough ammunition to finish Obama off, my fear is that the Repubs will find a way to screw it up or not use his own words against him. As far as I am concerned the POTUS has declared me his enemy.

I have the same fear...if we elect a bunch of Rhino's we're screwed. I do believe there will be a large number of good candidates elected Tues. but I'm not convinced American's have fully woken up yet.

I felt like I was his enemy the second he called all gun owners bitter clingers.
I felt like an enemy to him when he said I dont want to pay taxes to help inner city blacks go to school.

Obama seeks to blunt Republican attack over comment
6:35pm EDT
________________________ ________________________ _____-
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday he should not have used the word "enemies" to describe his political opponents as Republicans sought to make an issue of the comment a day before congressional elections.
Obama, in an interview with talk radio host Michael Baisden, said, "I probably should have used the word 'opponents' instead of enemies."
He was backtracking from a comment he made a week ago in an interview with Univision radio in which he sought to persuade Hispanics to vote for Democratic candidates instead of Republicans.
"If Latinos sit out the election instead of, 'we're going to punish our enemies and we're going to 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 going to be harder," Obama had said.
Republicans in hot pursuit of control of the House of Representatives in Tuesday voting were drawing attention to Obama's "enemies" comment in hopes of encouraging more turnout by Republican voters.
Hammering home the issue was John Boehner, the Republican who would oust Democrat Nancy Pelosi as House speaker if Republicans win control of the House on Tuesday as most pollsters believe will happen.
"Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word 'enemy' for fellow Americans ... fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government ... people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs," Boehner planned to say in Cincinnati.
"Mr. President, there's a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them 'enemies.' We call them 'patriots,'" he planned to say.
Obama told Baisden that he was talking about opponents of a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. immigration system. Hispanics have been disappointed that Obama has not pushed ahead on immigration legislation, which Republicans oppose.

Obama rallies minority voters, says Latinos feel ‘under assault’
myfoxorlando.com ^ | Nov. 2, 2010
(NewsCore) - As Americans headed to the polls Tuesday, President Barack Obama told a Nevada radio station that Latinos felt “under assault” by an anti-immigrant sentiment he said was propagated by political campaigns in a state that is home to one of the most closely watched political battles in the nation.
Rallying support behind Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a bid to urge youth and minority voters to head to the polls, Obama told Las Vegas' KVEG-FM that Reid would support the Latino community, which he described as a group with “growing clout.”
“The Latino vote is crucial and obviously, you know, when you look at some of the stuff that's been going on during this election campaign that has tried to fan anti-immigrant sentiment,” Obama said during the KVEG interview. “I note that a lot of Latinos, you know, feel under assault.”

So I probably will vote dem. i'd love to see Obama choose a Wes Clark for a running mate, or a Jim Webb, possibly more likely, for strong military and defense credibility.
My whole family - all Republicans - are voting Obama. i'm driving them to the station later - buying everyone dinner - making it a real family event.

Such leadership ... Impressive way to overcome barriers, yes this president doesn't disappoint. Anyone with any confidence in this guy ?
