What Obama is talking about is leave the illegal mexicans alone and stop demanding they be deported as criminals. Obama is very dangerous for the american people and he will push and fight for the amnesty for illegls in this country. His partiotism is not for america, it his dream to give the illegal mexicans a new home where they will be free to complete their destruction of the american way of life with more crime and more welfare to aid and abet illegals. If the American people want to keep america under constitutional laws and rules we must NOT have Obama or McCain in office. We need patriotic leadership willing to stand up and fight for the rights of the american people, not illegal alien criminals. Americans are allowed the right to persue their dreams, not the illegal Mexicans that he is refering to and believe me that is who he is arguing for. Why should the American people give up their dreams to illegals that have no patriotism to america or our values?

You got that right also - The truth is - What Obamaism has ment, the problem is that American liberal's are not willing to serve, it's that they have neither been asked aggressively by their own democrap party enough and given that opportunitie. In a clear slap to President Bush from the anti-war Dem's, Obamaism decried that liberal Americans are NOT eager to pitch in after the 2001 attacks and were merely asked to shop if asked. Help others achieve the American dream, Obama urges ?. That would be get ride of the Dem's and Republican's to, break apart the party, let real people finish highschool, grow up with that childhood dream to one day be President, get put on a ballot, and run for Office. That's the American dream. Have a happy Fourth of July weekend a flag-draped week and focused on God, country, veterans and freedom. While thinking about this here.

Obama is calling for volunteer service because with the new taxes necessary for extending benefits to so many, there will not be enough capital left for the creation of new jobs and new businesses. (All right, a nasty comment but true none the less.)

It is also interesting to see him promote "green" jobs. Colorado, like Utah, has huge energy resources in oil shale...oops, can't do that; oil shale development would have some environmental impact (and no compromise to minimizing that impact). OK, green jobs putting up windmills...oops, can't do that because it will interfere with some people's view and confuse some birds. OK, green jobs constructing new solar plants...oops, can't do that because we can't string an electric wire across national forests. OK, green jobs shoveling up manure behind horses because we have no oil development, can't afford to buy more from the Arabs, and viable alternatives are years and years into the future.

Yep, that, indeed, is change you can believe in.
