Obama on H1B visas
I just read about Hillary on this issue, and now I would like to know Obama's take on the H1B visas.

2. Oh Christ what a nightmare!
See I hate this guy Barack Obama now. Perfect example of Neocon Doublespeak.

"we have a skills shortage, not a worker shortage. "

"I will support a temporary increase in the H-1B visa program as a stopgap measure until we can reform our immigration system comprehensively. I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes improvement in our visa programs, including our legal permanent resident visa programs and temporary programs including the H-1B program, to attract some of the world’s most talented people to America. We should allow immigrants who earn their degrees in the U.S. to stay, work, and become Americans over time. As part of our comprehensive reform, we should examine our ability to replace a stopgap increase in the number of H1B visas with an increase in the number of permanent visas we issue to foreign skilled workers."

TRANSLATION: Fuck the American Worker with a smile on!

6. This seems to be the case
In most of their views on things, so what is the "difference" in the two?
