Pitching to the interests of college-age supporters, the president touted initiatives to end the war in Iraq, ensure young people are covered under their parents’ health insurance, to move away from fossil fuel dependency, and increase automobile fuel efficiency. “Just yesterday my opponent called my position on fuel-efficiency standards extreme,” the president said. “I mean, it doesn't seem extreme to me to want to build more fuel-efficient cars. Maybe the steam engine is more his speed,” he added. “We set goals and we meet them. That's what we do as Americans.” In pledging to repeal the Affordable Care Act immediately if elected, Romney was preparing to hand young people and senior citizens some unhappy surprises, Obama continued. “By a stroke of a pen, apparently he thinks that he can kick 7 million young people off their parents' [health care] plan; he can make prescription drugs higher [priced] for seniors; suddenly folks with pre-existing conditions are out of luck,” the president said.

the few cases you are so worked up about....I do know that obama has been tougher on deportations than his predecessors... by a lot... And he has done it by pdioritizing cases where felons are involved..... the few cases I was worked up about??.......These were cold blooded MURDERS....one of them occurring in the county north of me.....a distance of 33 miles.... I don't believe for a minute that Obama has increased deportations .........I believe all the purported increase is due to double counting Mexican deportations "Internal documents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reveal that the number of deported immigrants is lower than what the Obama administration has been claiming. The count is artificially inflated by including illegal immigrants caught and placed in the Border Patrol's Alien Transfer Exit Program as part of those officially "deported" - but those immigrants face no penalties or restrictions on returning to the US. "This means a single illegal immigrant can show up at the border and be removed numerous times in a single year," says committee chairman and Texas Republican Lamar Smith, "and counted each time as a removal." And for 2012 thus far, it's a whopping 67,000 shy of official counts." How can you claim they are prioritizing cases where felons are involved when convicted felons are released if their country of origin refuse to repatriate them? What deportation priority was applied to the released convicted Bangladeshi felon that murdered the 73 year old Grandma in the county north of me? The rest of the world is spitting in Obama's face. The nations with the highest numbers of non-repatriated convicted felons, in order, are: Cuba, China, India, Pakistan and Vietnam. Supposedly....over 50,000 illegal aliens convicted of felonies were released back into the country. Of course Mexican felons are deported but they just turn around and return again. Your position is a total farce. Again, I ask you. Do you believe that these illegal alien convicted felons should be deported NOW by whatever means necessary? Yes or No. If we can't agree on this......we can not agree on the time of day.
