Who Else Indeed, Mr. President?

I couldn't agree more with John Kass.

I really fail to see what Obama was trying to accomplish with this. It's as sickle and hammer a message as you'll get.

And no, the charge of "taken out of context" is not applicable because his speech was crystal clear.

Really, what was the point? What does he see in America society that compels him to engage in paternalistic gibberish?

My buddy brought up a good point and someone on the comments thread did as well. The Italian mafia used to say the exact same thing when they would extort and coerce money out of immigrants back in the day. It's the same rhetoric.

Immigrants came to North America because of opportunity. The system in place gave them a chance. I don't know ANYONE that argues against this. WE the people created the "system" and we can just as easliy take it back.

Still, I fail to see how this became an intellectual position to take among American and Canadian liberals.

It should be neutralized, and neutered into nothingness.

Immediately.
