President Obama Meeting with Key Senators to strategize Immigration Reform

President Obama to meet with key senators on immigration next week!
AP Reports:
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to focus attention on immigration next week by meeting at the White House with two senators crafting a bill on the issue. White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro said Obama will meet with Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Monday. The president is "looking forward to hearing more about their efforts toward producing a bipartisan bill," Shapiro said Friday. The meeting will be the first Obama has had with Schumer and Graham on the proposal they are developing since they began focusing on it last year.


Immigration has taken a back seat to the economy and health care on Obama's agenda since he took office just over a year ago. Immigrants and their advocates — promised by then-candidate Obama that he would tackle the issue in his first year as president — have been growing frustrated by the inaction. Several community groups planned to vent some of that frustration in a news conference Monday in Washington. The groups also are trying to organize tens of thousands of people from around the country for a March 21 demonstration in Washington.

"The president's commitment to fixing our broken immigration system remains unwavering," Shapiro said.

"2" Sane Republicans Admit the Truth: Birthers & Crybaby Beck are Crazy! Well "2" is a Start!

Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C), in an interview with "The Atlantic" has come forward to speak the truth that the rest of us already know. The "Birthers" AND Glenn Beck are CRAZY! Graham offered his unusually blunt assessment of these fringe elements of his party and conservative media on Thursday, calling Glenn Beck, the popular and bombastic Fox News host, a "cynic" whose show was "antithetical to American values."

"Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said of Beck. "Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party. He is aligned with cynicism and there has always been a market for cynics. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers."

Senator Graham called the BIRTHERs who question the president's U.S. citizenship "CRAZY" and implored them to "KNOCK OFF THIS CRAP!" so the country could get on to more important matters. Similar to what his friend Senator McCain said during the Town Hall Meetings: "So I'm here to tell you that those who think the president was born somewhere other than Hawaii are CRAZY. He's not a Muslim. He's a good man," Graham said.
I applaud Senator Graham for coming forward with the truth. I also applaud him for making this statement:"I'm going to do everything I can to give him the political support he needs to win these two wars that we're in."

I am only curious as to how long it will take his fellow Republicans to chastise him for his truth telling and side with the Crazy Fringe. My guess is, he will be lucky if he makes the weekend without being assaulted by the extremists of his party.
