With “Gas Granny” Emanuel sabotaging the Zero he will be down to 35% approval, and the only immigration issue he should worry about then is his own deportation.

Mr. Obama has some mighty strange ideas about what’s good for America.

Excellent.

This should be just the thing to let members of Congress come home and try to justify to their constituents over the Christmas break.

Let's figure The Dali Obama’s approval rating is at about 45%. Although, if there's an international crisis, it could be lower since he'll undoubtedly assign full blame to The United States for it.

Then, he can roll this one out and see it take another ten point hit.

This baby is gonna crash and burn so bad that no politician in his right mind will want to suggest Amnesty for the next 20 years.

Trillion dollars a month of deficit spending, unemployment nearing 12%, inflation just getting ramped up at about 6%, yup. That's just the time to convince Americans that we should reward 20 million criminal invaders with full citizenship, welfare, medicaid, social security, and every other jack-pot hand out the dems can dream up.

Barry, you're a friggin’ GENIUS!

I wonder how “immigrants” feel about being so low on Barry’s priority list?

Do “immigrants” rank below “don’t ask, don’t tell?”

Change the subject .. government run healthcare has worked out as planned. So we move on to ...

Just stealing the jobs Americans used to have.

I doubt America is ready for this crap all over again.

Nope, just let him keep walking into our fist. Pushing for this now is actually very good news. This is another issue, like death care and Government Motors that the majority of Americans will object to. They are already seething over Obamacare and this will just keep them mad for the rest of the year.

I was afraid that Obama would take a less ambitious agenda after Obamacare (win or loose) and let the country calm down before the 2010 midterms. The worst case was he passes a bunch of middle of the road, everyone likes it crap legislation to make him look like Mr Popular again before the mids. The more he pulls left the more chance of the GOP actually getting the house back in 2010. The GOP hasn't shown much leadership up to this point and we may have to win by just being "Not Them". The more Obama pushes unpopular legislation to pay off his cronies the better our chances.

WEll NOW

With Health Care “reform” obviously trying to give another handout to law breakers and illegals -—

They bring THIS up?

Axelrod is over-rated.

2008 was a referendum on Bush, who honestly did not do nearly as bad a job as the left claimed —— But that election was NOT a vote in favor of Pelosi/Obama liberalism!

I'm beginning to think he has some very weird ideas about what is good for the Democratic party.

Achieving Immigration Reform/Amnesty will give the left what the Left craves, a permanent one party State. It would not be long before the Constitution is not even alluded to.
