President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were on hand Wednesday, September 16th for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's awards dinner honoring Marc Anthony. The President spoke on health care and illegal immigration, stating that no illegals would be covered under pending legislation. However, he also stated that the country's immigration system was broken and that we should work to fix the system in order to provide health care for those here legally.
In other words, amnesty for illegals, health care for legals, and the Democrats get to fulfill all promises and the media largely skirts the matter and the President's promises largely go unreported. Has anyone else seen the following on major media, television news or even FOX for that matter?
Oh, and as a humorous aside, note the charcoal-clear teleprompter in full view directly between the camera and the President.
The President's remarks on illegals, legals and health care fall in the second half of the video.
There have been many concerns voiced that HR 3200 or other legislation on health care would contain provisions offering public coverage for illegal aliens. And the public option has encountered significant opposition due to the likelihood it would be the mechanism for providing such coverage. And the President has received significant criticism from those who don't believe his statements that illegals will not receive coverage.
This marks the first time that the President has publicly stated his support in detail to offer amnesty to those here illegally in order that they receive publicly-funded health care benefits, "Just like everyone else."
There it is, America--in full color! "Change that you can believe in!"
"God bless the United States of America."
