Obama Speech

Barack Obama's Remarks on Victory in Wisconsin Primary - washingtonpost.com
If you're ready for change, we can stop using immigration as a political football and actually start solving the problem. We are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, and those two things we can join together.
We can get serious about our borders and crack down on employers who are taking advantage of undocumented workers and undermining U.S. labor.
(APPLAUSE)
But we can also provide a pathway for those who are living here. They can pay a fine and learn English and go to the back of the line, but we've got to give them an opportunity, too. We're a nation of immigrants.
But it will definitely work with Latinos, said John Trasviña, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. "Clinton and (Sen. John) Edwards have said no driver's licenses for unauthorized immigrants," Trasviña said. "Sen. Obama has said you get a driver's license if you know how to drive. And that message I think will resonate in the Latino community as we get closer to California."
Obama takes big risk on driver's license issue
So am I getting this right? Crack down on employers so they can't work; put them at the back of the line for immigration BUT give them a drivers license?
REAL SWIFT!! Ya can't afford the insurance because of lack of employment BUT hell, drive all ya want buddy because the poor s.o.b. you hit can't squeeze blood from a turnip.
It distracted us from the fight that needed to be fought in Afghanistan against Al Qaida. They're the ones who killed 3,000 Americans. It fanned the flames of anti-American sentiment. It has cost us dearly in blood and in treasure.
Obama said if elected in November 2008 he would be willing to attack inside Pakistan with or without approval from the Pakistani government, a move that would likely cause anxiety in the already troubled region.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said.

HEE, HAW....we got ourselves an Obama war to start!
I opposed this war (Iraq) in 2002. I will bring this war to an end in 2009. It is time to bring our troops home.
Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.?

So how many troops does it take to protect our Embassy,diplomats, 100,000 civilian workers and Iraqi nationalists that worked with us?
We are going to lead by example, by maintaining the highest standards of civil liberties and human rights, which is why I will close Guantanamo and restore habeas corpus and say no to torture.
He better find another angle against McCain on this one. McCain feels the same way but is the KING of torture due to EXPERIENCE, not politically correct talk.
We're also going to lead in bringing an end to the genocide in Darfur.
And how do you accomplish that without MORE military action. Do we want troops on the ground there again? Guess when we give up in Iraq there'll be plenty of troops for Pakistan AND Somalia.
if we can attract independents, if we can stop fighting with Republicans and try to bring some over to our side.
I want to form a working majority for change. That's how we win elections; that's how we will govern. I want to reach out to everybody.
This dude is considered as further left than Teddy Kennedy. Who has a record of working with the other side of the aisle?
