Let's look at that closer. All of the gains made in the last 6 years have gone to the 1%. Middle class wages have actually declined a bit. The jobs you are talking about are low paying jobs. We are actually being run by a plutocratic oligarchy. Income inequality, bad already (65th in the world) has actually exploded in the last 6 years. The rich just keep getting richer. Obama was elected to put a stop to that. That is the change we were voting for. And FDR change: Watch this! youtube.com << Many of us Canadians are confused by the U.S. midterm elections. Consider, right now in America, corporate profits are at record highs, the country's adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, U.S. gross national product growth is the best of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The dollar is at its strongest levels in years, the stock market is near record highs, gasoline prices are falling, there's no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing, the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money.

Obama said he plans to revise illegal immigration by executive order. When laws are written the enacting of those laws is decided by governments interpretation and authority. If Obama says he can revise illegal immigration by executive action, you don't think he also has the latitude to decide on the degree of deportation. In fact why doesn't he do his executive action right now? Many of those immigrants have family here and many of them are fleeing for their life and fall under our refugee provision. Do you really believe Bush was not obeying the law of deportation when he deported so many less than Obama? Do you really believe the increase in deportation under Obama was to make sure the law was being fully implemented. Really?
