Obama's Immigration Speech: Stop Laughing, He's Serious
President Obama left no cliche unturned in his much-touted July 1 speech on immigration, and it's impossible to read the transcript without laughing. The southern border is too long to secure! We can't deport 11 million illegals!! We have too stepped up enforcement!!!
Obama Laments Kennedy, Doesn't Mention Byrd
By now all of you have probably listened to President Obama's immigration speech, but if you haven't click the Whitehouse website for the video and transcript.

Immigration and Employment In Britain
The economic situation continues to worsen for young Britons.
Ten percent of students who left UK colleges last year were unable to find work, according official figures, up from 8% the year before.
The jobless rate among 2009 graduates is the highest in seven years, says the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
And the number of students who managed to find employment within six months has dropped from 62% to 59%.
The figures also reveal how the chances of students finding work depend on their choice of college subject.
Whistleblower Fights Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice in Eric Holder’s DOJ, in New Black Panther Party White Voter Intimidation Case; Even Republican Writers are Starting to Pay Attention!

Apparently there are no symphonies either, judging from the latest culture fracas in diverse Britain. A number of Islo-parents are removing their offspring from music classes in spite of a national requirement that all students take part in them.
How extreme. What other culture prohibits music? It is so basic to humanity.
Rich Galen On The Obama Speech
Rich Galen has a fascinating take on the Obama immigration speech. His feeling is that the reason Obama decided on this risky course of action is that he's convinced that the House is already lost for 2010, and what he has to do is save his own candidacy for 2012.
Thus, he's throwing the Democratic House of Representatives under the bus.Galen writes
