Obama: If I Could Bypass Congress on Immigration, ‘I Would Do So’
National Review ^ | 11/26/2013 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 11/26/2013 6:02:33 AM PST by SeekAndFind

During remarks on immigration, President Obama was confronted onstage by a protester calling on him to use executive power to bypass Congress on the issue.

The protester, standing behind the president during a speech in San Francisco, was joined by others who began to chant “Stop deportation!” “If, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing them through Congress, I would do so,” President Obama responded. “But we’re also a nation of laws.”

During his remarks, the president praised supporters of the Senate bill, including activists fasting on the National Mall, and encouraged House Speaker John Boehner, whom he said is “sincere” in wanting to pass immigration reform, to follow their lead.

The president is on a West Coast fundraising swing.

“...If I could bypass Congress, I would...”
-
The man openly admits his desire to be our new King George.
The media openly admit to aiding in making it happen.
Half the population openly admit their willingness to be loyal subjects to a benevolent monarch.

“I smell a “plant.” It looked to me this all was staged.”

Obama will spend the next 9 months beating up on the Republican House demanding his amnesty bill be passed. It the Republicans don’t cave, in September or October, just prior to the election he will grant amnesty via executive order. This action will rally the progressive base and result in significant voter fraud as illegals rush to the polls for same day registration (where allowed).

He had the House and Senate the first two years. Why was not amnesty granted then?

?Obama: If I Could Bypass Congress on Immigration, ‘I Would Do So’

I recall him saying just such a thing about the Dream Act.

He then ordered it into existence by Executive Order.

This will repeat.

This story is insane. He already stopped millions of deportations through Executive Order months and months ago.

“Obama: If I Could Bypass Congress, ‘I Would Do So’”.......

He has no problem doing whatever he damn well pleases and Congress is just one of his “bumps in the road”. It is well past time that odumbo be removed, permanently. We do not need a dictator in this country and he certainly fits that descrpition.

Of course it was a plant.

The Secret Service does not allow anyone to get behind the Presidents back unless they know all about them.

Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, ‘No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.’”

Obama wishes he was President of China

“If I Could Bypass Congress on Immigration, ‘I Would Do So’”

The words of a wannabe two bit tin horn dictator. For a
pres—ent (no ID) to say this should be an impeachable
offense. Obama is a traitor and is hell bent on
destroying this country.

Did you see that scene on the news? This invader college student stands up, interupts Obama, and demands that he and his invader family be allowed to stay here. Instead of being removed, Obama chose to anser him. It had to have been staged.

If we were a real nation of laws, he would've been taken away in chains and he and his family would've been deported. Wasn't Obama abetting criminal behavior by not doing that?

“It’s the same tactic that Emporer Palpatine used to gain supreme power over the senate, he reluctantly accepted this great responsibilty... it’s the same scene played out at this staged Nobama event.”

Funny and I hate to say it on this forum but that’s exactly
what Alex Jones said a couple of years ago.

“Which is exactly why the founding fathers put in place the series of checks and balances, and why we have the 2nd amendment for when all else fails.”

Bad news, the senate just took out one of those checks and
they are making it harder to get the ammo needed for the
eventual 2nd amendment enforcement.

Sure was. Answering a non-citizen criminal invader who is violating our laws, and leeching off of OUR HARD WORK. Our “President” has the gall to answer this wet clothes leech. So the 11 million or so plus of illegal scum taking our money will hear this and shill for Obama.
