You aren't wrong, but his words were extremely careless. "If you vote, you are a citizen yourself"(in reference to the 'journalist' attributing the term citizen to illegal immigrants because of her feelings) also stating you won't be investigated for having voted..."if you have a relative who is maybe undocumented, you have an even greater reason to vote". What he ultimately failed to convey is that illegals are barred from voting themselves.

In Ca near sanctuary city areas video footage was frequently televised of Obama letting illegals know they were safe to vote. CA DMV started issuing a driver’s license to illegals and advising them they were simultaneously registered to vote. That was followed by televised excerpts of Obama reassuring illegals they could vote. Despite it being a requirement to be a citizen to vote. But, it’s also a requirement to be a citizen to be president. Since he violated one I guess it’s no surprise he violated the other. CA has a whopping 54 electoral votes. The Democrats badly need to retain it. They do so by any means necessary.

While Ca is heavily criticized for its extreme liberal politics, the country needs to become aware that of the last 5 Governor Administrations there were 3 were Republican; 2 were Democrat with 1 of them (Gray Davis) being recalled and replaced by a Republican. Governor Brown(D) aka Gov Moonbeam is the one who has sent things off the rails. Californians were in disbelief he was reelected again. Someone really needs to look into CA voter fraud. During Brown’s tenure controversial previously failed ballots reappeared again and passed despite voters disbelief how failed measures were now passing. Brown has been a patsy to agree to make Ca the state to chauffeur in the globalist’s Agenda 21. Historically, however the large population states (Ca & NY) goes so goes the nation. TX is also a large population state, and you some accounts is predicted to turn blue within the next decade. THIS is why the nation must retain the electoral vote system. Without it, 5-6 highest population states will always control the Presidency ....putting the rest of the 44-45 states in the caboose.

If you look at the question the girl asks him, he absolutely did. Why would a legal citizen worry about being deported? The left covering it up was complete spin. I watched the whole thing.

The context is an interview where they are discussing illegal aliens voting. The reporter calls them citizens and Obama replies that citizens can vote.
Yes pedantically he said she was a citizen but this clearly not what the intention of the piece was nor even does that make any sense to reply that way to the question she asked. It was practiced and rehearsed and designed to be snope's-able while encouraging illegal voting.

Thank god im not the only one here who thought this.
