Immigrants You Need to Wait This Much
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has decided to delay introducing legislation to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws in hopes of bringing more senators on board and crafting a bipartisan bill, his spokesman said Tuesday…”We are pleased with the framework we have put together so far and the broad-based support it has gotten from a diverse group of those interested in this issue,” [Brian] Fallon said. “The fact that health care is taking longer than expected gives us additional time to now shop our ideas to a number of Republicans to see what they think and what changes they suggest.”
Obama on Health care: Do or Die?
9 Sep 2009In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past three days, I thought it’d be good to let you know that tonight, President Obama will be giving a speech about health care.
And in case you’ve been living under a concrete slab for the past three months, you know–health care and Obama is secretly the U.S.S.R. coming to get all us God Fearing Christians.
Thank Heavens Obama’s going to give a speech tonight to help clear things up. Right? Well…except…if Obama doesn’t clear everything up TONIGHT, in crystal clear fashion, his presidency is dead. Or something.
NBC gave a slightly more nuanced lead up to the speech.

My plan of action? I will wait to see what the dude has to say. And then I will either groan in disgust or cheer. And Obama will finish his last three years of his presidency. And the U.S. will continue on. Just as it did before white folks slipped into OMG-the-black-man-has-power! hysteria.
