Obama: Cantor Defeat Isn't End of Immigration Reform

CHARLES KRUPA

WESTON, Mass. - Vowing not to give up on an overhaul of immigration, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he "fundamentally rejects" the notion that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's stunning primary election defeat means that tackling immigration legislation is now out of reach.

"It's interesting to listen to the pundits and the analysts, and some conventional wisdom talks about how the politics of immigration reform seem impossible now," Obama told about 40 big-dollar donors in this Boston suburb. "I fundamentally reject that and I will tell the speaker of the House he needs to reject it."

Scott Brown and Howie Carr oppose immigration reform. They are more popular than Obama.

Even Rich Tisei cosponsored enforcement in the legislature.

Only Kelly Ayotte and Obama are this delusional.

Rand Paul has taken to torch for little o’s push to turn US into a third world country. He is nothing more than a clone of the cantor, or the rube, or ryan. May God forgive you Rand, as many of US will never, ever give you and your kind a pass. As Hill’s Bill would say, “What difference does it make?” Our country isgone as we knew it and what was will never again be experienced by future generations.

It was about amnesty and nothing but amnesty.

Despite being outspent at least 10 to 1 Brat won by 11 percent!

Brat made it about Cantor’s amnesty and Brat won. At Cantor’s concession speech his supporters were screaming “What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!”

It was about amnesty and nothing but amnesty and amnesty LOST.

No problem. He’ll just dump them at military installations spread across the country, then they’re the states’ problems.
Barry only does the masterminding and big-check writing and leaves the ‘heavy lifting’ to others.

And Boehner gives a snappy “Yes Sir!” as he salutes.

From the article:

“Obama joked that when he is asked what he wants for Father’s Day or Christmas or his birthday he says the top of his list is a “loyal, rational opposition,” one with which he could negotiate and compromise.

“Unfortunately that’s not what we’re seeing in Washington from the Republicans,” he said.”

He hates it that we are loyal to the Constitution. Obama, if you want an opposition that is loyal to what you’re loyal to, why don’t you go to Iran where people not loyal to sharia end up dead?

You go someplace where you fit in like that, Obama, and America will count it present enough for every holiday for the next 50 years.
