POTUSWorld.com - The Presidential News Source - Substantive summaries of the top U.S. and related global news reports about the President of the United States Barack Obama, and his administration.
Virtually no sovereign nation allows unlimited and unaccountable access across their borders. Even Mexico takes strict and quick punitive action against any American or others for illegal entry into their country. Also, like so many other governments, they monitor your intentions and whereabouts when visiting. Beyond our census every 10 years, like every other nation, we have the right and responsibility to know who is in America.

Immigration Reform Isn't & Must Not
Be Discrimination By Another Name
Be Discrimination By Another Name
Let's say someone broke into your house while you're on a long vacation. When you return home, this person asserts they have a right to stay because they've been living there, paying for necessities, and that their great-granddad once lived their. What American citizen with half a brain and a pulse would only say, You're right. Do your thing!
So why is it such a stretch or issue to have a fully enforced and accountable immigration system in the United States. Well, beyond the politics and politricks played by illegal immigration advocates and adversaries, there is a deeper and insidious effort by many to contort effective control of American borders as a ethnic bias issue. Surely, you can also expect this to be done to greater advantage, delay, distortion, and political intimidation during an election year.
The facts and reality are that illegal immigration into the U.S. has always been and is still a federal crime committed by individuals from European, Asian, African, Caribbean as well as Latin American countries of every hue and ethnicity. Though we are genuinely "a nation of immigrants" to a land once predominantly and originally occupied by diverse North American Indians, we certainly are not a nation for unchecked illegal immigration. Yet, we must always attract, appreciate and absorb the best energies and contributions of all new legal U.S. citizens our greatest national asset.
However, to twist our immigration problems into a tool to empower distorted or divisive rhetoric, ethnic voter political advantages, demographic agendas, or a self-serving cultural ideology only insult and eliminate most American citizens' ability to support people very similar to their own ancestors from foreign lands. The average American is empathetic and supportive to those struggling like them for success in America. However, deep down, we feel very insulted and bamboozled by talking points or lame logic that cleverly ignores the fact that we make, have and legally change laws that govern all of us that choose to become full legal citizens — through a legal process.
I personally and professionally don't know of any legal or illegal immigrant that comes to the U.S. for six weeks or more just for a vacation. Those who genuinely intended to come here legally (see White House video) went through one of several proper legal processes so they can live and prosper in America freely without having to dodge ICE agents or police officers, live off the books, create anchor babies or scam marriages, use false or stolen documents, benefit from identity theft, exist in shadows with bare or below minimum wages, or suffer employer exploitation.
Even now, American citizens can get an extremely tamper-proof high security U.S. passport card, which is effectively a portable form of legal citizenship identification and an all-purpose truly certified personal ID. Anyone genuinely intending to be a legal American citizen can get one of these passport cards after paying an illegal entry fine, back taxes, and legally applying behind the thousands that annually go through the U.S. immigration process legally. Genuine intentions can only be proven by first fully obeying all American laws the first real test of citizenship.

Without any doubt, federal, state, and local authorities must impose major fines and jail time to any person or business employing illegal immigrants whether as nannies, nurses, engineers, produce pickers, construction workers, et cetera. The Obama Administration can again show authentic and competent leadership on a critical national security challenge — while eliminating an indentured class of low wage cheap labor. Fining employers and private individuals a minimum $5,000 per illegal immigrant, plus 5 years in a federal prison for violating U.S. laws sends a powerfully effective and justifiable message. No one stays where they cannot work. Nor are they willing to risk imprisonment and deportation for committing crimes to get money.
Staying and working in America just by being able to illegally enter is not an entitlement. The so-called "path to citizenship" will easily be seen as another amnesty effort, used by previous presidents, that will only inspire continued illegal crossings by those who feel the risk is worth it.
Sanctuary cities embed long term stresses on legal residents by increasing the use of fiscal, housing, health, schools, diverse jobs, infrastructure and other resources by illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants don't live in a distant universe independent of taxpayer-funded public services.
Again, no illegal immigrant comes to America for a long vacation. Removing the real reason and lure for illegal immigration is true evidence of a truly effective and fully enforced immigration policy. That policy must have the integrity of being genuinely unbiased ethnically. Anything less, or without the full funding and personnel needed to enforce it, is simply state sponsored fraud.
Moreover, more 'amnesty' is simply just a de facto reward for law breaking and — as proven since 1986 — is a stimulus for continued law breaking in a broken U.S. immigration system.

And Now: Arrest BP Execs While Freezing Their Assets & Suspending All Oil Leases

Expanded frustration and smoldering outrage may be understatements to describe British Petroleum's stall and slide strategy. Many throughout the U.S. Gulf States region feel BP is doing nothing more than a slow-motion waltz with the $20 billion dollars mandated by the Obama Administration to immediately start fully paying legitimately affected businesses and sickened residents. The BP, a.k.a. bamboozle project, is in full effect.
The fix seems to be in. Compensation paperwork snafus, cleanup coordination red tape, and crooked answers to straight questions are the latest growth industries throughout oil-slimed U.S. towns near the Gulf of Mexico.
If it isn't abundantly clear and legal by now, soon-to-be golden parachuting BP CEO Tony Hayward and other executives should be receiving shiny handcuffs from U.S. Marshals on their next U.S. visit. The message would be very clear, unless that mid-June White House talk between Obama and BP execs was nothing more than a pretentious and clever photo-op to convey toughness.
Though it is unlikely to happen, the handcuffing of a single BP oil executive in one of those White House website videos could guarantee President Obama through-the-roof voter approval ratings. Surely, I'd watch it ten times daily.
Moreover, grab all of their current and future company compensations and assets until the contracted $20 billion has been fully paid-out. Now, I'm assuming the smartest legal minds around President Obama nailed-down this little detail before allowing the BP crew to stroll from the room back in June. However, I am honestly beginning to have serious doubts that POTUS and company are ahead of British Petroleum's strategy curve and endgame.
Nevertheless, my observations about BP's oily backsliding has a value lesser than the price of unleaded gas. Yet, there is a growing sense that the Obama Administration hopes this ongoing BP hustle fades unresolved from the top of news headlines by election year 2012. It won't and shouldn't if our ecosystems have any real value to us.
You can label British Petroleum's obligations and the Obama Administration's action-steps as legally-binding compensation, an economic stimulus, small business empowerment, infrastructure restoration, or simply just doing the right thing. All that matters now is a paid-in-full unbounceable check in the hands of legitimately affected citizens from Texas to Florida. Money really does talk.

President Barack Obama may have received a rough break, but welcomed outcome, during the 'Super Tuesday' May 18th elections. Yet, underneath are detectable slow-rolling vibrations of centrist, moderate and semi-liberal voter discontent — the middle. There's impatience, even intolerance, about a perceived trend in the "change" POTUS 44 promised during his campaign.
Among many, the euphoria over his historic election has worn off. Jobs are still not coming fast enough, the economy is still detectably shaky, too many people are still ass-out of affordable home ownership, an Afghan quagmire seems to be setting in — and there's that overdue unfinished business and festering anger about illegal immigration's exponential effect on many urban and suburban cities. That's just a few of the top tier challenges on Mr. Obama's to-do list.
Yes, we can be grateful about this President's efforts to improve the image, geopolitical logistics and perception of America in a complex globalized economic and political world. Then again, despite the reality of globalization, politics and politricks are still local. All the more reason why Mr. Obama must do much more connecting and communicating locally, beyond the predictable pep rally rhetoric of meet-ups and town hall talk fests that many are growing jaded about.
Real one-on-one face time and campaign-style local listening tours matter — and I'll say it for all those thinking it, those Weekly Address website videos just aren't hitting the spot anymore. A truly clear and informative 24/7 'Obama Channel' couldn't hurt — considering the myopic and moronic coverage by most of commercial broadcast and print news. Still today, "The medium is the message" — and it is defining and redefining this POTUS to an already cynical electorate.
However, I'm hoping with few reservations for all that Barack Obama is capable of doing and being as potentially one of our greatest Presidents in several generations that he truly pays very close attention to the political and socioeconomic angst of that expanding electorate in the middle. Being liked, based on polls, is not the same as being desired and rehired regarding getting the job done a job most voters felt they closed the deal on during Election Day 2008.
Beyond the radar of even his closest and wisest advisors, President Obama has the potential of having his re-election chances sucked into an electoral black hole by the collective energy of voters that feel or perceive that he was not really listening to them on the above and other core voter issues. Surely, the mess left behind by the previous Administration has been daunting during his recovery efforts — aside from the gauntlet of partisan vipers forever in his path.
Nevertheless, as the electorate of change will still struggle to keep lasting faith in his promises, "change" could soon mean considering a different choice in the next Presidential election.

Federal Funding For Public Education &
Job Training Is America's Weakest Link
Job Training Is America's Weakest Link
President Barack Obama and his Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, unlike their predecessors, are to be commended for a high prioritization of education as a key component in the present and future success of the United States. This new, urgent and sharper focus on upgrading our relatively outmoded education system is overdue.
However, there appears to be a very large reality gap in what it will take to effectively upgrade American education, plus the actual required public and private costs. On top of the $4.35 billion committed in Obama's 2010 budget is a forthcoming $1.35 billion for school grants during 2011.
However, there appears to be a very large reality gap in what it will take to effectively upgrade American education, plus the actual required public and private costs. On top of the $4.35 billion committed in Obama's 2010 budget is a forthcoming $1.35 billion for school grants during 2011.
Nevertheless, when it comes to educating today's U.S. students, and the critical mass of the tough global competition we'll face in 2010 and beyond, single-digit billions just won't cut it. Even as an Independent with fiscally conservative waste conscious instincts, it's clear to me that larger accountable returns are earned by much greater investments in all of our public schools.
Yes, even when it comes to the educational, creative, productive and intellectual destiny of our nation, as many young people can tell you on this matter, It's all about the Benjamins. If we don't start setting fiscal year double-digit billions for education within this decade, we might as well kiss our competitive future and global lead goodbye. Our multi-billion dollar bailouts to the financial and other corporate industries won't compare to the trillions that will be lost through an exponential degeneration of homegrown brainpower, talent, productivity, and competence.
Beginning with steady funding for mandatory free pre-school education, maximum 15-student classrooms from elementary to high school, standardized portable student computers with digitized online textbooks and homework, better paid in-classroom teachers, expanded parent involvement programs, school building infrastructure renovations, and a 50-state network of tuition-free federal colleges, plus free nationwide job training and entrepreneurial programs for adults is an effective use of our taxes. Also, funding neighborhood-based adult education works.
In this mix of genuine education reforms, there must be a greater emphasis on the sciences, mathematics, languages, the arts, fitness, health, civics and critical thinking skills — all of which are the bedrocks of advanced civilizations if they truly expect to remain stable and successful. The corporatization of U.S. education will only lead to generations of functional automatons skilled only in supporting the narrow needs of business interests and quarterly quotas, rather than the intellectual empowerment of the individual and their contributions to society as a whole.
The remaining construct of education as a private, elitist or business model is an outmoded and dysfunctional relic of past centuries in a 21st century of leaping advancements from a growing diversity of U.S. global competitors. This accepted construct will only spur growing failure in American academic achievement, and will surely enable widespread U.S. poverty to prevail.
Ask today's cash-strapped parent trying to acquire a good education for their child. They can best explain that America's success is clearly an invest more now, or pay much more later deal — and it won't be as funny as those moronic answers to basic knowledge questions from college students during the 'Jay Leno All-Stars' comic interviews.
When I hear about the bailout billions for incompetent corporate executives that mismanaged their businesses and our economy, along with the multiple millions they pay themselves for a job poorly done, the feeling during my socioeconomic and political discussions is not anger but, how many American children in this decade and beyond can be better educated with just a fully accountable and minimally consistent 10% of our collective federal fortune.
You can jokingly, but credibly, argue that improving our education system will also result in greater competence and improved managerial judgment among future executives. Perhaps. However, I am seriously certain that an effectively funded education system is a major factor in youth crime reduction a fact not lost on a high youth crime city like Chicago where Secretary Duncan was recruited, and very applicable just minutes from the White House on D.C. streets.
Sometimes, simplicity and the obvious can be difficult for the complicated mind and the critical challenge of actually doing something to bring genuine and effective change can seem daunting. Nevertheless, we regularly spend billions-to-trillions of tax dollars annually on defense contracts, stop-gap poverty programs, and prison construction. Yet, we still fail to grasp the reality, benefits and exponential potential of an educated mind rarely taking time for crime.
Beyond the facts and data on U.S. educational achievement, you can still call me simplistic or even naοve. However, in a very fundamental sense, truly effective educational empowerment in our pre-school to college system is also very much a matter of both local and national security.

Proponents seeking to reframe and rebrand 'illegal immigration' reveal their true intent by ignoring U.S. laws that govern every American citizen regardless of ethnicity or accent. Eventually this effort is seen as a ploy to justify an alternate agenda, and deflect from the real issues by alleging racial profiling. Potential supporters soon feel confused, insulted or duped.

Ahmadinejad, Medvedev, Netanyahu,
Obama & America's Next World War
Obama & America's Next World War
Describe or criticize it as improbable and unforeseen like World War I and II. Three nuclear powers the United States, Russia and Israel and the volatile equation of a fourth nation, Iran, seeking its own nuclear credentials.
Add to that mix the perception by Iran that it is the standard bearer of political, technological, religious and military power in the Middle East. Moreover, include Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's obvious quest to be the prime representative of a much broader global Islamic diaspora beyond the tyranny and borders of his regime.
Factor in the open secret that Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. Include the reality of a Jewish state lead by a myopic and aggressive prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who emphasizes the inalienable right of Israel to defend itself against perceived enemies near and far a.k.a. preemptive war.
Flavor all of this with the re-mix of a new millennium lite cold war going hot between the United States and Russia. President Dmitry Medvedev, backed by the persona of his ready-to-kick-any-ass Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, is understandably willing and wanting to affirm Russia's Middle Eastern and geopolitical interests. This includes their direct help in constructing a nuclear power plant for electricity near Iran's southern port city of Bushehr.
You now have the working ingredients for the proverbial fuse waiting for a match. Now, imagine Israel preemptively bombing a Russian built facility in Iran — killing Russians.
Spice things up with the salt and pepper of provocative public words, posturing, innuendo and instigation plus the predictable diplomatically worded threat of potential military action. From the schoolyard to the global stage, nearly everyone is drawn to the sounds of trash talking, until the violence begins.
Presidents Obama and Medvedev need to show some genuine leadership as the mature bigger boys on the block. It's time to entertain an urgency and enforceable plan for their friends across the street, Israel and Iran respectively, to chill-out before the whole neighborhood and beyond is engulfed in exponential major violence. When bystanders get hurt or worse, the trash talk and drama ceases to be entertaining.
Just like in schoolyards, it took just a few misperceptions, threatening words, misinterpreted actions and militant muscle-flexing to start the last two World Wars. There has been a wealth of evidence over the last 90 years — aside from many technological advancements, or between our occasional 'Kumbaya' moments and genocides — that we have yet to genuinely evolve from the paradigm of war.
There's now a very real and far more destructive chance, the next World War won't end with a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square — or triumphant Presidential speeches.

President Obama's 'Race To The Top'

President Obama and most Americans truly have one indisputable thing in common we're parents. That alone is justification enough for him to make a major speech directed specifically at all parents. The message should be about full engagement and accountability for the success and support of our children in getting a good education.
This high profile live message is neither politically partisan, a dubious revelation, dictatorial hype, or condescension. The President's 'Race to the Top' plan is an effort with exponential value. However, there also needs to be a race to urgent hands-on parenting for academic achievement.
Speaking as a parent and grandparent, the educational achievement and life success of a child starts the day we decide to have one — whether we know it or not. Then again, I've often witnessed far too many parents treating the public, charter and private education systems as if the schools are a government-funded babysitting service.
Until every parent married, divorced, separated, single or incarcerated gets directly involved and treats their child like a very valuable personal investment, most children will be doomed to fail long before thinking about or getting to college. Even now, with the overwhelming reality of 21st century economic challenges and unending global competition, too many parents and guardians still act like a good education is a disposable or distant option.
The President's clear and unconditional message has to underscore that parents must invest much more time and effort in managing their most valuable investment their children. Additionally, parents have to be affirmed that their tax dollars and votes give them the full right and unending responsibility to make sure that this investment is being well managed everyday — expecting real achievement dividends and profits on a quarterly basis.
Think about it if you're investing more time and money on your child looking fabulous and having fun, rather than them growing-up to be a successful self-supporting adult, your biggest mistakes are happening right now. What law or need requires spending 90-plus dollars for sneakers or jeans versus $90 for books or learning software at home.
As real parents, we must stay directly involved at home and school to make certain they are ACTUALLY getting educated. We cannot sit back acting as if the President or teachers are the main people responsible for their destiny.
Kids are not born to raise themselves. They don't get lost academically. We lose them. Parenting is not for punks.
Moreover, schools are not community convenience stores or filling stations where knowledge is automatically poured into the heads of our children by dutiful attendants as we chat on our smart phones. Either we make and take the time to handle our business, or just point the blame finger directly at ourselves. The President and teachers are only second-string public facilitators in assuring that the right resources are available to effectively educate every American child. Surely, far more accountable funds and wrap-around resources must also be provided.
President Obama's prime time education message to America's parents — preferably before Congress — must come sooner than later. We are rising to a critical mass in the dumbing-down of American children. Schools and colleges only have a secondary influence over this nation's academic achievements and socioeconomic successes.
U.S. academic achievement is also very much a matter of national security. The 21st century will truly belong to the educated. Now more than ever, failing to plan and support a child's destiny is the same as planning for them to fail. POTUS 44 can best make that case.

Two Birds, One Stone & How POTUS
Can Jump-Start America's Economy
Can Jump-Start America's Economy
The partisan pressures during November elections aside, President Obama seems to be in a slow cruise mode on a fail-safe option for quickly boosting our sluggish economy. Ironically, the idea was initially hyped by him during his campaign and the early stages of his first year in office.
In this Presidency, the new economic mantra should be 'It's the green economy, stupid' to paraphrase a theme from the Clinton Administration. Imagine quickly creating thousands of permanent jobs each month, while putting us on a fast-track toward a cleaner and greener environment.
If the Obama Administration's top economic advisers were really advising him on exponential economics, we would be seeing billions more in taxpayer dollars going into green small business creation, home and office building solar panel manufacturing, plus a variety of green technology infrastructure construction.
This quarter, there could be at least 100 or more new small businesses in each of our 50 states and the District of Columbia. These companies could be hiring workers to manufacture, install and service energy/money-saving solar panels on private housing and government facilities. Homeowners and home buyers will be motivated by lower energy costs and tax breaks to install a variety of green energy devices to their homes. Apartment dwellers can buy smaller solar units the size of window air conditioners to store money-saving power for diverse appliances.
There's an exponential economic cycle occurring here that includes manufacturing, hiring, consumer spending, and all the product transport/shipping econometrics created. Simply, by heavily investing in green consumer electronics and other green energy technologies, the President can send an economic and jobs gift that keeps on giving.
From the multitudes of newly employed entry level and middle income workers, plus the high-tech engineers and business managers behind them, everyone becomes a beneficiary from this targeted green economy stimulus. No doubt as we all realize by now it can bring faster, greater and exponentially more beneficial returns to the U.S. economy compared the billions plowed into the banking industry. Yes, we're still waiting for that big return on our very large taxpayer-paid banking investment.
Down here on the ground many of us are keen experts on what it genuinely takes and costs to bolster our economy. However, none of us will ever be hired as a member of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.
Nevertheless, POTUS 44 is most correct in affirming that we didn't get into this economic mess overnight, and it certainly won't miraculously improve before, after or on Christmas. You can't spend ten minutes running down a ten-mile hill and expect to walk up just as quickly.
Right now, we really need to place our eyes and feet in the right economic places in order to ascend more effectively.
When its comes to improving our economy exponentially, it will be a green economy that will make Labor Day and every workday worth celebrating.
