We know what he means, and what a certain brown extremist faction with a vote wants to hear, but pick out the genius of weasel speak:

April 21, 2011

“No matter who you are. No matter where you came from. No matter what you look like. No matter whether your ancestors landed here on Ellis Island or came here on slave ships or came across the Rio Grande, we are all connected. We will rise and fall together. That’s the vision of America I’ve got, that’s the idea of the heart of America,” President Obama said at a fundraiser in San Francisco.

“That’s the idea of the heart of our campaign,” Obama added.


I see it as a trap for his detractors, that they are so bigoted that they twist his words - he spoke not one word of amnesty for illegal entrants, nor that even though he is obstructing immigration enforcement in other regards he has deported more illegals in the form of criminals than any other president in my lifetime. And, it will be claimed the right wing media is continuing to whip the flames of immigration hysteria.


I'm surprised he didn't work in the "Siberian Connection" of the Indians.

Not one word about "the strength of diversity" either.

What a weasel.

Well said, PAM. That's exactly what it is, an insult to all of our ancestors who had to move heaven and earth to come here legally.
