Holger Asks Why . . .
Why is it that hard working Americans, born in this country, who are looking to ensure that their children and grandchildren realize the America that they have experienced, are ignored as potential voters by Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party, but people who snuck across the U.S. border in the dead of night, who hide in the shadows of this country are catered to and appeased and wooed for their votes?

Why?
Because Obama was raised to hate America and the American people.
Whether we like it or not.
Sez the wiki:
If expressed in terms of vote eligible population (VEP), the 2008 national turnout rate was 61.7% from 131.3 million ballots cast for president, an increase of over 1.6 percentage points over the 60.1% turnout rate of 2004, and the highest since 1968.[18]
That the BHO felt it necessary to make the appeal is a good sign. First because it shows he's worried, second because it shows the Democrats' potential share of the electorate is maxed out. He needs a reprise 'cause there ain't nobody else.
Now if,come November, the turnout is 65%, lame duck a l'orange will appear on the White House menu.
Ah - Guess that we are all The Forgotten Man
While reading Larry Auster, I found this, quote:
UPDATE: Could Obama's turn away from immigration, stated to reporters on April 28, have been sparked by Clintonite William Galston's April 27 column in The New Republic in which he urged the Democrats not to pursue immigration or climate change this year? Galston says that he supports both bills on the substance, but that he disagrees "with the political calculation that seems to be driving this strategy," namely that the immigration bill will win Hispanic voters, and the climate bill will win younger voters. His reasoning is pure Steve Sailerism:
... 90 percent of the electorate is not Hispanic, and 85 percent is not young. Relatively modest shifts in voter sentiment outside these two groups could easily swamp increased turnout within them and turn all-but-certain Democratic losses into a rout of historic proportions. While the temptation to adopt a strategy of targeted micro-politics is understandable, Democrats should instead espouse a strategy of macro-politics focused on broad-based public concerns. If that means that Senate Democrats will have to choose a new majority leader next January, so be it. At least they'll still have a majority. [Emphasis added.]
Translation: there are a lot more white middle class people in the electorate than Hispanics and AGW-crazed young people. Taking positions that appeal to the last two groups drives away much larger numbers of the first group. Conversely, taking positions that appeal to the first group wins far more votes than positions that appeal to the last two groups.
