Laying it down. Obama is the only choice we have - Ron Paul is confused - Rick Perry only stands up for Latino's when it's politically convenient - Bloomberg is a crook.

1. 'Placing Obama's Reelection on the Altar of Democracy'...

You have to admit, he has a way with words.

[SkyDaddy7]

2. Just like Biblical Sacrifices...

sacrificing Obama will do nothing...Well, it will get you a Republican POTUS who I am sure will listen to OWS & consider their demands.

I am lost in terms of just how folks think change will come if we sacrifice what little control we have? It makes no sense whatsoever! If you want change reelect Obama then use the next four years to build your case & support for 2016.

The winner of this next election will decide the fate of Medicare, Social Security, minimum wage, environment, etc., We all know this...Well, some of us do anyway.

3. I got a 2012 slogan for you,.

Vote for the lesser of two evils,
Obama has done so very little.

just saying,.

drone attacks,
continued bankster plundering,
more war,
for profit corporate health (no universal coverage),
no accountability for anyone!


seems change aint' going to come from the top. OWS!

[SkyDaddy7]

4. I got one for you as well...

Vote Republican because that will teach Obama!

"Obama has done so very little" is ABSURD!

Saying Obama is "evil" is beyond ABSURD it is DISGUSTING!

6. haha

"The winner of this next election will decide the fate of Medicare, Social Security, minimum wage, environment, etc., We all know this...Well, some of us do anyway."



the sad part is that we actually have to worry about those issues regardless of whether obama or a republican is elected.

"Vote Obama, He'll cripple social programs less than the other guy."


Sad, the choice we are given.

9. Not at all altars are sacraficial....

[FarLeftFist]

5. Huh? OWS should be ALL FOR Obama, according to the rightwing Wall St. hates him and corps hate him

Sounds like the guy we want to fight against them as opposed to someone looking to just bend over for Wall St. and the Corps.

7. Who cares?

This guy is a homophobe and a sexist, he doesn't represent me or most of the 99%.

8. I love the passion with which guys speaks

But I have to disagree wtih him about immigration. It seems like he is asking for open borders in the US. Now I am an ex immigrant so please dont even accuse me of being anti immigrant. But open borders atm may not be a very good idea. Remember with an open border policy, the immigrant population wont be coming just from Mexico, think about the countries around the world where we have bombed or destroyed through our involvement in their internal affairs, think of all the poor countries in the world and the improvement method of transportation since the last time we had an open border. They will all be coming for revenge, work and god knows what else they be coming for

Now add it all and you will see an explosion in immigration numbers. You think mexicans work for cheap? then wait till the Bangladeshi/India, Hatian/ etc etc who are working for 10c a day or the ones without a job or healthcare hear about this. And its not just the low skilled workers, doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, electricians, carpenters etc etc who can works for fractions of the amount American earn and they will all be coming with the unskilled workers.

It is not realistic to open up the border of give every human the benefits enjoyed by americans today. You will crash the system if you attempted to do what this rapper is suggesting.

The funny thing is that if and when that happens, you will see latinos shift their stance on immigration. We help the world by actually helping them with technology (nothing military), education and actually passing fair trade bills (fair to the people and not corporations).
