On this very June 15th, 2012, President Barrack Obama has decided to stop deporting and grant work permits to younger illegal immigrants. This decision could affect as many as 800,000 immigrants. You have to be younger than 30 and have arrived here before age 16. You can't have a criminal history, you must have graduated from high school or have a GED or served in the military.
As far as them proving that they've been through school or served in the military, heck, I can get a piece of paper showing I'm a doctor or am qualified to teach school. It's like buying a gun. You just have to know the right people! Anyone that wants to can get one.
Are we stupid here or what? He's pandering to all of those folks coming across the border south of us and their relatives already here. Obama must be hurting for votes 'cuz why else would he do this? I'd be willing to wager a small amount that he's feeling some heat from Mitt in the polls. Obama obviously doesn't feel heat when it comes to them taking his job. I do. The illegals aren't going after the jobs at the top of companies, they're painting and cleaning houses, mowing yards all while living 10 to a one bedroom apartment!
I know Obama losing my vote won't keep him awake at night. He'll pick one up in south LA. This little move might just backfire on him. There are a lot of folks in this country that are tired of losing their jobs to someone that has little to nothing invested in this country.
All I can say now is.....run, Mitt, run!

3D Movies
One thing I hate to come off as is is a complainer. (When older people get together it's what we seem to do.) I find myself questioning things. Why is the price of gas so high here vs. other places in the country? It isn't 'cuz I remember many moons ago when the price of a gallon of gas was 19 cents compared to $4.55 now. Everything has gone up in price. But $4.55??
Going to a movie is one thing that has gone up in price. We went to see Prometheus in 3D IMAX the other night. Lord knows there'd been plenty of hype prior, so we bought our tickets online, not wanting to stand in line at the box office. Sure enough, the theatre filled up. It was time to put our glasses on.
I guess a lot of what this movie's story was about was lost on me. Apparently it was about where the aliens came from in the Alien series. I went to see a movie and be entertained by this story. After we all got in the car, not one of the 4 of us gave this movie more than a 2 out of 4 stars. For starters, we all questioned why it was in 3D. Nothing jumped out at you, which to me is the reason why you want to see something in 3D, yes? You want to get the feeling that you're attached in a minor way to the action on the screen, not just sitting in your seat like a normal movie in 2D. That's why we shelled out $18.00!
Having been to Disneyland, Disney World, Universal Studios on both coasts, MGM Studios and numerous 3D IMAX theatres, I know what we're being fed in the theatres we see movies in can be better. There wasn't one time when the audience jumped or responded together 'cuz something on the screen startled us. Not once. You won't say that after going to Universal Studios and watching Terminator 2 in 3D! Perhaps crowds are going 'cuz we all hope this one will finally give us the 3D we've been waiting for.
The only 3D movie I did like was Avatar. I haven't seen them all, but now I'll be content with just seeing movies in 2D. That is, until someone tells me that some movie has finally done what they do every day at Disneyland or Universal Studios.......make me jump!
