I believe this just shows how aggravated at both the Democratic and Republican parties the 'People' are. I disliked FOX when it routinely supported Pres. Bush and now I find myself disliking the cheerleaders for Obama. I truly wish there was a 'Fair and Balanced' news outlet but don't believe one exists today.

This is a link to a pity attempt of a news story from MSNBC about the struggling illegals - so far 33 pages of comments and very few favorable. They are so out of touch that they did not even "get" the arrogance of these criminals wanting unemployment benefits and stating they planned to return to Mexico with our goods and money. I could not read through all 30+ pages, but most of the people who commented are against illegals and do not care about their problems.

"Us illegals, we don’t have unemployment," said Rodriguez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico City. "If I had unemployment, I wouldn’t have had to give up the trailer."

Unbelievable. And they expect the hard working and taxpaying legal Americans to watch this garbage?

I do watch Lou Dobbs however. I can hardly stand Sean Hannity who rails all too much against Obama but supported GWB far too much. If we did not have Bush, we would not be drowning in illegals and Obama would not have been elected.
