"Can Romney play defense against Bain attacks?". Certainly no need to, as Democrat Party leaders all up and down the nation are lining up against their incumbant Presidents campaign on that issue.

MSNBC...get the message. IT IS THE ECONOMY, STUPID! The Obama miscampaign over Bain (the nations largest and most successful private equity investment firm with a record of 78% success of rejuvinating formerly failing companies in troubled industires) has only served to remind the nation's businessmen and women of this Administrations anti-business attitudes and tactics of wanting to tax and regulate, and so the economy continues to sink into stagnation. The continuing and new unemployment claims numbers for the pastweek didn't look very pretty, nor the ISM (Manufactring) Indexes showing continued slumping of that critical sector.

Keep taking sheeet Obama...see where it is taking you and the nation. Time to send the amateur hour people home to Chicago and academia where they came from and put a former successful businessman and Governor in the office who knows what executive responsibility is all about.

Melissa Perry on Sunday’s show fished and caught a good subject. Why do we Americans not understand Asian Americans? Many reasons come to mind, e.g. culture, language, etc. The primary reason we do not understand what constitutes an Asian American is simply that such a citizen does not exist.

Envision learning to speak Europeanese; no such thing because each European country possesses individualized culture and languages. Asians are no different; although Asians racially described, as all appear indistinguishable from each other, no cloth tab under their arm exist declaring country of origin making identification even more difficult. So where did this Asian looking person come from; what country? Why does it matter? We only want this new immigrant to perform civic duties that we all honor as fellow citizens. Serve in a military position defending our country; obey all national and local laws; allow their children to become educated; and vote for Government representation or public office; even run for said offices should one desire. Most immigrants, from all emigrating countries, readily perform most of these civic duties except voting; possibly due to the complex issues of our political discourse. In exchange for said civic duties we endow the new citizen the rights founded in our Constitution, Laws, and many other claims of liberty and freedom they may not have enjoyed in their emigrating nation.

The fact remains that these F.O.B. immigrants require many years, often generations to adapt to American politics. Most new immigrants simply wish to earn a good living, and design a prosperous career for their beloved children. Our Statute of Liberty embellish these immigrant desires with bronze cast words, “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she. With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

However, how does one describe second-generation Asian looking offspring who identify with American ideology and culture? Do we Americans welcome these newly, politically self-aware voters? When these voters see Caucasian citizens protesting publicly with President Obama depicted as a monkey, horror stories told by parents drifts into focus again; whereas US born Asians’ citizenship is meaningless. Meaningless because that citizenship, once nullified; property confiscated; interned behind barbed wire; and threatened with loaded firearms should one wish to enjoy freedom beyond the wire, disappeared within a single week, and made into the law of the land.

Asians, in fact think and feel no differently than any other human species that exist together on this tiny planet. If you take citizenship away from a race, no matter citizenship, but strictly because of race (white American Nazi vs. Asian Americans), and deny the citizenship of their own President, well, anyone would question the sanity of its fellow citizenry. How can you welcome any new American when you do not recognize their citizenship, or make the citizenship a farce. We Americans are trying to take away American citizenship from our own President; and this is all after we voted him into office; how good are we Americans in being clear about our national message? Have we Americans become a nation of ass-h—es? Do we Americans have another definition of United States of America than what immigrants, non-whites, and women believe that exists?

How do these actions match any of the words we citizens learned as American children? Do these proclamations of freedom and the American way of life only apply to white Americans? What exactly is the Republican Party trying to say when they claim our President is not a citizen? What are Conservatives saying when they aim to take away bargaining rights from our police? Do the police protect us citizens, or the ones who are taking away their bargaining rights? Embedded in such noble careers as law enforcement are Asian Americans. Democrats rarely speak direct to Asian Americans because they perpetuate the citizenship farce, if but to stand by and allow the Republicans to abuse their power without fighting back. At least Clint Eastwood suppressed his red-neck character long enough protect his Asian neighbors, but Asian Americans do not need Hollywood fantasy; they need true political support from strong elected leadership.

So how would we describe an Asian American citizen these days? As you can see from history, no such citizen exists. Make all citizens’ citizenship permanent, and maybe the Asian Americans will tell you with whom are they willing to vote for to represent themselves in our permanent nation that suddenly becomes colorblind with one swift stoke of a pen making citizenship the law of the land. Sign into a Civil Rights Bill, but this time actually mean it. God Bless America because we Americans are certainly not.
