Obama Refers to Illegal Aliens as "Us" at Backyard Lib BBQ (Video)

Barack Obama referred to illegal aliens as “us” in his backyard meeting on Tuesday. He flew all the way to New Mexico to cook weinies and talk junk in some lib’s backyard.
CNS News and FOX Nation reported:
President Barack Obama referred to illegal aliens in the United States as “us” on Tuesday while renewing his call for giving them a “pathway to citizenship”—an amnesty–and castigating opponents of such an amnesty as demagogues.
Obama’s made the statement at what the White House billed as a “backyard discussion” at a private home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It came in the midst of a 754-word answer he gave in response to a woman who asked: “How do you envision a comprehensive immigration reform as one measure towards America’s economic recovery and long-term vitality?”
754 words later he finished his response to the question… about as long as it took to down two hotdogs.
From the transcript:
“Now, unfortunately, right now this is getting demagogued,” Obama said. “A lot of folks think it’s an easy way to score political points is by trying to act as if there’s a ‘them’ and an ‘us,’ instead of just an ‘us.’ And I’m always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together. I think now is the time for us to come together.”

He is an illegal alien, isn’t he?

“by trying to act as if there’s a ‘them’ and an ‘us,’ instead of just an ‘us.’ ”
What part of “legal” versus “illegal” don’t you get Barry?
Dittos Rush! commented:
Perhaps he’s simply…….an alien (period)!
bertogem commented:
That’s because he’s one of “us,” I mean “them” — illegal aliens, that is. This is a revealing comment, just like BHO’s “My Muslim faith” remark during the campaign.
Paul52 commented:
How is it that a law prof can’t define “illegal alien”? Maybe “illegal alien” doen’t exist in Barry’s homeland, wherever that is. This is just pandering to increase a Dem voting bloc. Move to Mexico, Barry. Heard dope is cheap there, like life.
Highlander commented:
“Now, unfortunately, right now this is getting demagogued,” … ahhh emm, by me (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
BackwardsBoy commented:
If Barry gave a speech in my living room, I wouldn’t get up out of bed to go hear him. The only words he could say that I’d have the slightest desire to hear are “I resign.”
Terry1 commented:
He has no regard for this country or our constitution, so I’m not surprised.
The only hope for America is impeachment.
There are plenty of high crimes and misdemeanors he’s committed already, starting with ceding a good portion of southern Arizona to Mexican drug cartels…we can’t wait until 2012, too much damage has been done and catastrophe is just around the corner.
If this were a Republican president, the Dems would have begun impeachment proceedings last year.
What’s happened to America that so many still support this piece of garbage? Is it too late to stop our descent into the 3rd world abyss?

I hope he never shows up in my backyard expecting to be fed.
vagabond trader commented:
Oh brother,the long winded demagogue accusing others of what he so devoutly practices. Why can’t these fuggin’ commies just spit it out already.”We want total power and control over you ignorant unwashed serfs.”
nano commented:
Again another try at the failed policies of general amnesty.
Do this round again which will be much larger than the last and you will only invite another down the road.
Amnesty is not what we need but a total bottom to top review of our legal immigration system should be done to eliminate the long backlogs to do it the right way.
Until that is fixed with security measures still in place there will always be those jumping the line.
Dittos Rush! commented:
“How is it that a law prof can’t define “illegal alien”?”
As Rush Limbaugh put it: “He’s an empty suit!” He is devoid of substance and integrity. Sorry ‘Bama, that’s just how it is!
jorgen commented:
“I think now is the time for us to come together.”
Us??? Us illegal aliens? Us Muslims? Us Kenyans? Or both? Or all three?
Joanne commented:
Obama is sounding just like President Amanutjob of Iran.
Betsy Ross commented:
“I’m always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together.”…
Pathetic…he’s talking about himself and he doesn’t even know it…
Kenny Solomon commented:
“I think now is the time for us to come together.”
So what’ll it be, oh Dear Leader….. Will you do your damn job to “UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION”, or are we truly looking at a real scenario of civilians standing ground in their homes with AR’s to save the republic ?
Militant Conservative commented:
We the people, TPM, are coming together under a common goal. It the constitution stupid. WE are america and WE ARE NOT , racist,bigots,sexist, homophobes,islamophobes. WE want the rules inforced, without rules you have chaos. powder is dry.
kate commented:
This is so unfair! You don’t want to malign snakes. You don’t want to insult skunks. You don’t want to offend female dogs.
Modern English and its vulgarities have been worn out. We have to revert to Middle English or Yiddish to respond to this nothing little man.
Meh keyn brechen.
Sean commented:
Eh… I’m all for catching him in Freudian slips… but this is really reaching. No need to add fuel to the claims that the right is full of birther conspiracy theorists.
madkangaroo commented:
So, Obama spends two years playing the race card, the class card, the saintly libs vs brutish Republicans card, the labor vs. management card etc etc, but he’s “…always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together”?
You couldn’t load all his BS into a supertanker.
StrangernFiction commented:
Oh it very definitely IS US vs. you Mr. President.
StrangernFiction commented:
You being the ‘rats that is.
alwyr commented:
Nobody told me being POTUS could be hard work! I was lied to; I quit!
WSG commented:
It must be hard to organize a volleyball game in his world.
Ginger commented:
Hey a** hole… you are dividing “Us” with your love for your muslim cousins!! We read right through YOU!
Ginger commented:
“But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as president”
“Being American is not a matter of blood or birth…..
Finncrisp commented:
Clearly, Barry has forgotten EVERYTHING he claimed to have learned as a Constitutional expert. As a lawyer, he apparently remembers even less.
1)Every statement he makes creates an “us vs. them” mentality. Pick any topic, it is there.
2) If he really believes what he told these trolls, then why has he decided to sue AZ? If it is all “us”, what’s the problem? Doesn’t his suit create “us vs. them”?
Alana commented:
I really think there is something terribly, fundamentally wrong with Obama, in a psychological sense. In a way that makes him a fatally flawed psyche.
This business where he ALWAYS decries the *very thing* he himself is doing, saying that someone else is doing it – it is purely pathological.
In this case, it’s saying, “I’m always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together,” when that is the *very thing* he is always doing and is becoming FAMOUS for doing.
I think even some fairly non-political people are noticing it, and are getting irritated, for instance, with his constant bashing of segments of the population, such as “the rich.” Or tea parties. Or doctors. Or whole industries.
Normal people just don’t think that way.
But he always thinks that way. Thinking that way is bad enough, but it’s the constant, almost compulsive, ascribing the exact thing he does to others that makes me think something is deeply wrong with him.
I am beginning to conclude that he is mentally ill, evil, or some such combination. Totally untethered from reality, totally un-self-aware. Or totally malevolent. Or – somehow – both at the same time.
Or maybe just totally manipulative, cynical, and arrogant, along with some kind of delusion pf grandeur which assures him that everyone else is way too stupid to notice what he is doing.
In any case, it is getting to me. Before, I would pretty much ignore people who thought he was nuts. But enough of this kind of thing and I get very aggravated, and can only conclude those people are right.
Ertdfg commented:
thinking people committing Federal crimes aren’t “us”… bad.
Lawsuit from the government against a state? good.
How is the 2nd not “them” vs. “us”? Heck, when has Obama gone for any play except “them vs. us”?

I’m always in support of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together.
=============================
There, fixed it for ya Bacrock.
Veryconcerned commented:
He has something very much in common with illegals and can relate to them.
Kinda like how Oprah could relate to Jeremiah Wright’s church and even got Barama to attend where he stayed even after she left but she and him still got indoctrinated for all those years but they still LOVE white people, Jews and America right?
Radegunda commented:
Sean #19, the point is that he, like every leftist, thinks the whole concept of legal citizenship is worthless, and defensible borders mean nothing. Maybe that’s connected with a lack of concern about whether he himself meets the citizenship qualification, or maybe not–but it’s bad enough that he is so contemptuous of American citizenship and sovereignty.
Andreas K. commented:
“Comprehensive immigration reform”
Means nothing else but: open all borders. It’ll be like Europe.
AuntieMadder commented:
I’m not reading the “illegal aliens are us” in the transcript. (I didn’t run the clip.)
24AheadDotCom commented:
The us/them wasn’t a Freudian slip; he wasn’t confessing to be an illegal alien. That was a prepared part of his patter.
The only thing about that th’s unclear is whether he’s legalized 12 million in his mind, or whether he’s just confused over how our system works.
And, the quotes above are only part of it. In other parts, he seemed to forget about the millions of unemployed and he even sounded like GWB for a moment. And, he used a long series of canards. See my discussion based on covering this issue for eight years:

they are us if you mean future(or maybe even current) democratic voters.
