I am sorry to always be negative but I am just amazed how easy is to get people completely brainwashed. Rounding up and deporting all Colombians (or Russians) is also “change we can believe in”. Not everything that’s change is always so great.Not to say his opponent is any better but Obama seems to have an army of follower fanatics and that’s never a good sign. He probably won’t win though but will come pretty close.
Meesha, I actually understand you. But I have to admit I’m not very familiar with Obama’s political program when it comes to immigration (illegal). I guess I have to inform myself better.
Meesha, why you are so against this man is beyond me, and that statement you made really seems straight out of somebody else’s mouth… listening to political talk radio will get you deported :)

Supports abortion rights.
Immigration
Supported Bush-backed immigration reform legislation, which would have increased funding and improved border security technology, improved enforcement of existing laws, and provided a legal path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants.

Iraq
Opposed use of military force in Iraq. Voted for war spending bill that would have withdrawn most U.S. troops by March 2008. Supports phased redeployment of U.S. troops. Opposed Bush’s plan to send additional troops to Iraq. Had once called for troop withdrawal to begin by the end of 2006.

That’s the point:nobody knows anything about his policy on anything. He got the nomination by repeating general meaninggless statements over and over.
