So...currently not enforcing any sort of immigration laws at all...not providing assistance to border states yet mandating they take care of "refugees"...that immigration policy?

Been poking around internet about immigration this evening and see things haven't changed much this century.

Dubya wanted immigration reform bigtime and his push failed in June '07.

He didn't step into the rose garden and whine about not getting his way. He also didn't threaten exec actions. He DID however, act...

[Twangbanger]

Cap and Trade - FAILED.

Assault Weapon Ban - FAILED.

Immigration Reform - FAILED.

Q: What do you call a President with only one (unpopular) legislative accomplishment?

Put another way - what would he be called, if he was White?

(Shhhhh...don't say the F-word. The First Black President cannot be labeled a Failure.)

Heh heh.

I 'loved' the accusations leveled by Obama about a do nothing Republican House. The House consistently passes bills and sends them to the Senate where they are never allowed to have a vote. Obama and the Senate Democrats are 100% my way or no way. Unfortunately, most Americans don't pay close enough attention to what goes on around them and have no clue they were being lied to by the 'leader of the free world' on national tv...

 

[ModernGunner]

Well, at this point in time, it's become clear even to the liberals that this current Liar-In-Chief is the most pro-terrorist / anti-American President in the history of the U.S.

I heard this morning that he's going to send some of his people out across the country to listen for legislation he can do that bypasses congress. Seems now he's just looking for ways to be a d-bag dictator.

Yeah like all those attempts to repeal or defund the ACA or ban abortion.. They've been HARD at work...

If he was going to be a dictator, he wouldn't try to find legal ways for him to do things.. he'd just do them and shoot anyone that opposed him...

No doubt he would if he could. If it ever gets close to that all bets are off.

 

[Tim Enyeart]

Obama and Reid have created the intentional stalemate for political gain. Emergency, emergency but I, Obama, will do everything I can with executive action despite the lack of Republican legislation. He's corrupt and non-believable.

 

[actaeon277]

Because Dictators usually shoot dissenters does not correlate that all Dictators shoot dissenters.
All Presidents have had signature legislation brought down by the Supreme Court.
And it is usually by a narrow margin.
How many times has the SC ruled against him, with 0 justices dissenting?


How many Presidents have stated that they will "find a way to work around Congress"?

 

[RockofStrength]

He is not a dictator by position, that is he does not have absolute power, but by attempting to undermine the legitimate barriers around his authority and power he is certainly acting in a dictatorial manner. We honestly need a new word for "dictator in the making" types, since the old words such as tyrant seem ridiculous unless the person is actually using supreme power.

SCOTUS has ruled against OBlamer TWENTY times in his 5+ years as Wanna Be King, since you asked.

President Obama has seen 20 unanimous defeats before the Supreme Court during the five and a half years of his presidency, a pace that outstrips former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, according to a review of his record since 2009 by Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas).

Did you know the Obama administration’s position has been defeated in at least 13 – thirteen — cases before the Supreme Court since January 2012 that were unanimous decisions?

Any other questions?


As far as working around Congress, you are right. Many have, but they haven't done it in such a confrontational and divisive manner.

Heh heh.

His being labeled a failure has "Zero" to do with his color. Nadda. He has failed due to his beliefs and policy's........

Seriously, his is mixed just like my g-daughters. He is not "Black"

Can we at least get that part right.

 

[ryancantshoot]

While I don't agree w/ the policy, he's not only within his right to do go at this "alone" so to speak, there is precedent for doing so.

Fake outrage is gross, gentlemen. Republicans lost the election. Accept it and move on.

I hope that is not what you read into my opinion.

That man had an opportunity to be a great president. He could have narrowed the gap we are experiencing racially. He could have embraced this issue and brought us closer together as a society yet all he has done is drive a wedge between the cultures. He has done this to advance his agenda to make Gov. larger and more intrusive.

I suggest you look at this for what it is.....socialism. He can utilize congress but he has alienated them. He has everyone separated and at each others throats so he can move his agenda along.

I have no butt hurt over this. I just see through his game. He and many others are pumping up the hispanic vote for their own power base. It is obvious to some of us.
Nothing fake about our outrage my friend. It is very real.
