Jonny,
HAHAHA...I don't understand why you are parroting the same old stuffs gazillion times. It's not even funny. As I said in the other thread, Obama did not support the point based system, true, but that's just for a momentary cause which is to legalize the thousands of illegal immigrants. Now if you go by the point based system, you won't be able to abide by the regulations of the comprehensive immigration plan and legalize those blue collar bunches, can you? You can't be asking two contradictory things at the same time--that's hypocrisy.

He never said he is against the H1-b workers, true-- he had shown concern over native Americans losing jobs to immigrants which in a way is true with the mushrooming Indian consultancies, but that was more than a year ago and at that time he was trying to weaken Hillary campaign fund base, a major part of which was Indian companies--cisco employees. Indians have had close ties with Clintons since Bill's era in the 90's.  Bill himself had invested $$$ in indian bill payment companies and hence Clintons' soft corner for the Indian H1-Bs. I don't think there is a major deviation of Obama's stance from Hillary's on immigration plan except for on few things like providing driver's license for the immigrants which Obama has been supporting zealously. Both democrats have high regards for immigrant workers and I don't think skilled immigrants' cause will be jeopardized if either of them is elected. Please come out of the fear that Obama will barricade the influx of H1-B workers if he wins the presidency-- that's not gonna happen.

For those, who think Obama is all about false hopes and fluke:

"But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope."

"We will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can."

HAHAHA...

Man, everytime I listen to him talking, it raises my hair. Motivation and inspiration....a leader certainly need those qualities, and Obama has that. Screw experience. You need a potential and an inspiring figure in a leader and that's what matters in the end.
