Totally agree with Bill Maher

I know this is a late post about Bill Maher's take on President Obama, but I totally agree with every statement that he made in this video.



I too am tired of watching Obama whenever I turn on the TV. The media like my husband is totally in love with Barack Obama and overlook whatever he is not doing, giving excuses that how much can he do or he has just come in.
The economy is still trying to pick itself up and there hasn't been any real change. Healthcare is still in the dumps. And Immigration reform is not even on this year's agenda. I don't need to know what Father's Day message Obama sent to his daughters or where he takes his wife on dates. Give me something real to like you.

As a legal immigrant paying taxes every paycheck along with social security and medicare that I will never get to use, I demand a reform in more than one way. Having completed a Master's degree from a great university and working on an MBA degree from another, I have given quite a bit to this country. No doubt, I have received quite a bit in return too, but give me the right to advance my career without having to deal with visa issues every other year. Give me my labor approval that is stuck in audit since 20 months even though my company has proved why they hired me. Fix the immigration system from within and eliminate loopholes that allow offshore companies to use up the visas on people with lower skill and paying them less money.

Help those thousands of students who have come here to obtain advanced degrees using up their parents' lifetime savings. The American Dream is quickly fading away unless something is done. Immigration reform is not difficult and many other countries have implemented the right system which is why people are now moving to those places in search of their dream. Don't tell me that millions of illegal immigrants will receive citizenship under amnesty plan and all the legal immigrants will slog their way through a hopeless immigration system that is called the "green card system".

I did not vote for Obama because I was not eligible to do so, but here is my open request to the President. DO SOMETHING. Otherwise there is no difference between You, The President and You, The Wax Statue!

What A Week!

This has been the week of big news!

First the serious and sad ones.

Michael Jackson is no more. As wacko as he may have been he was a star and king of pop. People worshipped him and still do.

Farrah Fawcett lost her battle to cancer. Though I am not familiar with the old Charlie's Angels series, I understand she was an icon and losing someone to cancer is always heartbreaking.

And now onto cheating politicians and husbands!

Mark Sanford having an affair in Argentina on taxpayers' money. What is up with these politicians. Is it the lure of power that makes them do these things or are they just not happy with their married lives? Feeling powerful is just like being high and easily falling into the lure of the forbidden fruits. But if you marriage is not working, why cheat - just get out and then do it.
And their wives usually forgive them - that part I will never understand.

Aah! and then we have Jon who is reportedly cheating on Kate. Now seeing the show, every single person would agree that she is bossy and dominating and Jon has been bearing it all for ten years. So he wanted out which is fine though their eight will be the ones to suffer. But we can see how Kate is all over the media saying Jon wanted divorce and she would have never thought about it and so on. She is making him look like the bad guy! Though according to me neither is fault-free. I do have a new name for their show that returns in August - Jon OR Kate Plus 8.
