That's where he's from, though you'd think he was born & raised in Illinois to listen to his campaign. His Grandma's in Hawaii, and she's become pretty ill. I don't know the details, but it's serious enough for him to go be by her side.

But all up we're doing better than everyone else (maybe it's that recession in the eighties that we "had to have" that bolstered us up?)......................the down side to this ? Apparently we are to expect mass immigration ................that didnt' worry me until I found out who was immigrating here ....Yanks and Brits (economic immigrants.)
Now isn't it the Americans and Brits who accuse immigrants of coming into their country as being scavanges and it's not right to immigrate to another country just because your country is poor? Now i"m beginning to see why they changed the citizenship laws ...............I have a feeling our people knew this whole debarcle was coming (eventually) as I've stated on another thread about the Murdocks and that other bunch of high rollers.
I predicted a 'depression' in 2005 I was wrong and a couple of years off, but no matter cause it looks like everyone else did too. there were laws brought forth that didn't make sense ........but now i get it . It all makes sense now.
we haven't heard anything here about the masses moving to Australia. :wah:
and our country is made up of immigrants, no one begrudges anyone wishing to move here. A lot of people do have an issue with illegal immigration though....

Apparently you haven't been watching Good Morning America, they keep reporting on the economy daily. Did a lengthy segment this morning on it, as of right now we have 27 states that are in a offically in a recession, have reported negative earnings 2 quarters straight.

are you talking to me? :-3 I didn't mention anything about a recession. I'm wondering about all these people from England and the US that are supposedly leaving our countries.
