Obama runs immigration bill from White House, according to new report
Daily Caller ^ | 6/17/13 | Neil Munro

Posted on 06/16/2013 10:50:54 PM PDT by Nachum

The White House is playing a larger role in developing the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill than its supporters publicly admit, according to a forthcoming article in The New Yorker.

“‘No decisions are being made without talking to us about it,’ the official said of the Gang of Eight negotiations … ‘This does not fly if we’re not O.K. with it,’” a senior Obama official told author Ryan Lizza for the pending article.

White House officials also believe the emerging bill will be a huge success for President Barack Obama.

RE :”Dems are liars - spineless liars as it once again turns out...”

Rubio seems to be doing great job at that too, claiming that Obama will hate the immigration bill and may not even sign it.

He was throwing that 'American Dream' crap around too yesterday.

The difference is that Rubio believes what he’s saying... Democrats just out and out lie.

Rubio does not believe this crap, he’s working with the left.... I heard senator Jeff Sessions say as much on a talk radio show last month.

Some of the stuff Rubio is telling us is so far from the truth that he cant possibly believe it. That claim defies credibility.

In fact he appears to think we are stupid as we will believe the blatent lies he keeps repeating about this bill.

McCain also complained to Sen. Chuck Schumer, the leading Democrat in the gang, about Rubio’s tactics to win support from other GOP.

“Schumer often found himself mediating disputes between Rubio and McCain, who felt that Rubio’s public statements sometimes positioned him positively with [GOP] conservatives at the expense of the Gang,” said the article. “McCain would call Schumer and fume, ‘Look what Rubio’s doing!’”

Pure statesmanship.

” Rubio is working for Obama here trying to convince us that Obama has nothing to do with this bill and that he (Obama) doesnt like it and he will have trouble signing it.”

Correct

Rubio has nothing but contempt for us. His lies are laughable.

Just wait wait as 2013 comes closer,
we will be reading more and more comments that sound like my satires, how Rubio’s going from show to show telling lies is a sign of his good character as he is trusting and decent and compassionate and his only fault was having too big a heart, unlike those mean dishonest Dems who twicked Rubio and Ryan the wabbits.

Heck, maybe its time for another one of those

The buzz is Democrats dont want Ohaha anywhere near the reform bill——looks like they blame him for the defeated gun bill.

His approval numbers are dropping like cow patties in the hay pasture. O’s attaching himself to a bill is instant disaster.

Of course not because if Obama is visibly involved it exposes the GOP amnesty clubs scam which is to convince gullible REpublicans that Obama will hate this bill so they can vote for it.

This is Rubio’s ploy and Obama is in on it.

Dont worry, once its signed the love-in will be over and Obama will take all the credit.
