2. He Fucked Up BIG time. He's toast.
It's amazing how a very smart man could be so paralyzed by the political process of running for President that he could not see that the ONLY acceptable answer to that question was no. It's a damn shame, but he's fucked.

7. He gave a clear yes response and said it was a safety issue

Then Wolf came back and said he hadn't said yes or no after he said he was for comprehensive immigration reform.

It blows my mind Wolf didn't pounce on Hillary for her flip-flop from the last debate.

8. Obama
He has been a supporter of the issue in regards to how it applys to public saftey for years. There is no waffling here. Same stance for YEARS. same stance in the Illinois state sentae.... YEARS.

9. Obama did not give a clear yes response
He went into a long speech about what he did while he was a state senator. It wasn't until Wolf asked him several times that he actually gave a definitive answer. Hillary was asked last debate if she agreed with the governors plan to give DL to illegal aliens, she said she personally did not agree with it, but that it should be a state decision, not a federal one. She has been consistent on this issue, yet I'm still struggling to understand where Obama stands on this.
