An important announcement from the White House soon?

talking politics on forums is never a good idea. Too many feelings hurt. Keep it to less emotional issues like.. religion. There's so many religions today; you could be Buddhist, or Islamist, and some even worship sports teams. I know a guy that worships the Chicago Cubs, he's a Masochist.

This is to announce that the Obama's will be taking another high-priced vacation at the tax payer's expense.

No, wait, this might be the rudest thing I've read all week.

Amazing how when we had white presidents no one said such grossly disrespectful things regarding the highest seat in our country.

So you think no president was ever criticized for their behavior in the White House before Barak Obama?

Seriously?

Obama will finally announce he is way in over his head and resign. :bigsmile:

I suppose you have a better plan?

Yes, quit trying to put the blame on everyone else and man up! Of course, Barry won't do that.

It's funny....because he is getting all the blame for all of Bush's mess ups!

People need to stop worrying about what the Presidents do....and focus more on what congress is doing.

Exactly! If you haters actually looked objectively at some of the excellent things this President has done (Lily ledbetter, health care, a stimulus that worked, ending the illegal [and unfunded] wars, etc) you would see he has been a phenomenal President. Truthfully, he's conservative and too far to the right for my politics but I can get past my ideology to see our President is really doing a great job (especially given where the country was at when he first got into office). But back to the point about congress, those dudes (because it is mostly guys) are ruining our country right now with all their obstructionist and do nothing behavior. One only has to look at the facts and have a modicum of critical thinking skills to see it.

I don't feel like I have to respect the man just because he is the president.

You don't have to respect the man...just the position.

No you don't have to respect him as a man but his position as President should be respected, just like you don't have to like your boss if you have one, but you have to follow certain guidelines when dealing with your boss, you can not talk to your boss any type of way and be disrespectful.

if we can get past all the president bashing and disrespect ...what the OP wanted to know is this

In response to OP - I believe this is the news she was referring to:

President Obama will announce a new immigration policy this morning that will allow some undocumented students to avoid deportation and receive work authorization.

Under the president’s “deferred action” executive order, students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings or those who qualify for the DREAM Act and have yet to come forward to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, will not be deported and will be allowed to work in the United States.

An estimated 1 million young people could benefit from the deferral. To be eligible, applicants have to be between 15 and 30 years old, live in the U.S. for five years, and maintain continuous U.S. residency. People who have one felony, one serious misdemeanor, or three minor misdemeanors will be ineligible to apply. “Deferred action” will last for two years and can be renewed.

Obama is expected to speak about this new policy later today.

Obama’s announcement will create a smart policy to help protect young adults at risk of deportation who have spent years establishing their homes in the United States while boosting the U.S. economy.

WTF is wrong with you people? The OP asked a simple question, and she deserved a simple answer. Keep your nasty comments to yourself.

Dude needs to change his profile picture - this is the second time in 2 days that he's been addressed as a "she."

Whoops!!!!

This is to announce that the Obama's will be taking another high-priced vacation at the tax payer's expense.

No, wait, this might be the rudest thing I've read all week.

Amazing how when we had white presidents no one said such grossly disrespectful things regarding the highest seat in our country.

Oh yeah. No one ever said disrespectful things about Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Clinton OR EITHER of the Bushes!!! Please. But thanks for making this an issue of race! :grumble: :noway:

I don't feel like I have to respect the man just because he is the president. That doesn't mean he is doing anything in MY best interests...

Isn't this the crux of everyone's issues anyway? MY best interests, as opposed to OUR best interests?

If OUR best interests includes paying the way for people that won't get off their a$$es and work, then yup...voting based on MY best interests.

This is crazy. I love MFP. However sometimes these message boards turn me off. It's getting ugly in here. Really people can we just stop it?

This is crazy!!! I dont think what this thread was about. It has gotten really ugly.....but one good thing, it showing me how people can still be disrepectful and ugly in 2012. That is why I talk to my son daily and let him know. NEVER NEVER EVER FORGET, THEY DON'T :laugh: :laugh:

This is a koala.

are you quite sure it is ? :laugh:
