California Democrat: 'The disgusting, do-nothing Congress forced Obama's hand' on immigration
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 7, 2014 | David M. Drucker

Posted on 09/08/2014 1:26:57 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Rep. Tony Cardenas on Sunday defended President Obama against charges that he betrayed Hispanic voters when he decided to delay executive action on immigration until after the midterm elections.

Cardenas, a California Democrat, conceded that Hispanics were frustrated with Obama and disappointed with his decision. But the congressman blamed House Republicans, who have blocked consideration of a bipartisan immigration reform bill that passed the Senate last year, for “forcing” Obama into the position of having to take potentially unpopular unilateral action to legalize a portion of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.

Obama the impotent. It's all out of his control so he's not to blame. It's Congress. It's the GOP. It's the Tea Party. It's Bush. It's the Koch brothers. It's an upcoming election. It's out of his hands. Obama cries that social media is driving - confusing - the meaning of his message. Barack and Michelle and the State Department have #hashtagged but still Islamic terrorists rape and kill their way across the Middle East, illegals from around the world stream across our open boarder with Mexico, and Putin invades neighboring countries in his bid to reassemble the Soviet Union - invaders around the world laugh at the wide open road allowed by Obama as they continue unabated on their way to wherever they choose.

“....Reagan believed in strength and might for self-protection. Obama believes in “might.” He thinks, Yes, I might do this and I might do that. I don’t know. The less I do, the better. I don’t want the responsibility of my acts.

Remember when Obama was a senator in Illinois. He never took a position on anything. He was always “present.” But he was never really present. He has never been here for us...”

A moment of Obama resolve and clarity? An Obama strategy?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2573557/Flashback-Senator-Obama-pushed-destruction-15-000-TONS-ammunition-400-000-small-arms-1-000-anti-aircraft-missiles-Ukraine.html

“As a U.S. senator, Barack Obama won $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine destroy thousands of tons of guns and ammunition – weapons which are now unavailable to the Ukrainian army as it faces down Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Crimea.

In August 2005, just seven months after his swearing-in, Obama traveled to Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine with then-Indiana Republican Senator Dick Lugar, touring a conventional weapons site.

The two met in Kiev with President Victor Yushchenko, making the case that an existing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program covering the destruction of nuclear weapons should be expanded to include artillery, small arms, anti-aircraft weapons, and conventional ammunition of all kinds.

After a stopover in London, the senators returned to Washington and declared that the U.S. should devote funds to speed up the destruction of more than 400,000 small arms, 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles, and more than 15,000 tons of ammunition..................................”

““forcing” Obama into the position of having to take potentially unpopular unilateral action to legalize a portion of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.”

Well, let me see...we’ve heard the “11 million number” for how many years...15...20? We know the border is not secure and millions upon millions more are here now.

The real number must be closer to 30 million, conservatively speaking.

Eleven Million, is it now?

How is it that the NSA knows the contents of my sock drawer, but we can’t determine to, the nearest Ten Million, how many illegal aliens are living in the United States?

These biased libs always forget that Obama isn't the only elected politician in Washington.

The congressmen/women who fail to do Obama's bidding were elected by citizens who expect them to represent their interests
and to keep their oath to preserve, protect and defend the US Constitution.

It is not their job to be Obama's lap dogs. like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and others.

When Obama doesn't get what he wants he calls names and throws a hissy fit like a 12 year old girl.

This quote from P.J. O’Rourke describes Obama quite well:

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding,
ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

Yes!

ALL democrats are part and parcel of Obama’s destruction of the country (and his elevation of our and our allies’ enemies around the globe) - they are complicit with Obama’s action and inaction!

It is within the scope of Congressional authority to do nothing about a given issue.

Many of our problems, maybe most of them, come from Congress doing “something” as opposed to nothing.

Congress exercising its authority to do nothing does not expand the scope of Presidential authority.

A thought: If Obama can legalize 8,000,000+ illegals with executive action, can the reverse also be true?

That is, can executive action be used to deny 8,000,000 illegals work visas instead of giving them work visas?

It seems to me that if President Obama has the legal power to use executive action to hand out work visas to illegals, then he should also have the legal power to deny such work visas.

NOTE: Obama likes to use the phrase "Because it was the right thing to do" when he tries to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

So get ready to hear Obama use that phrase above over and over as he tries to justify to the American people why he signed his executive order granting work visas to 8,000,000 illegals instead of denying visas to 8,000,000 illegals.

=====================================================

Taxpayers are urged to act now.

If immigration reform was such a pressing issue, then why wasn't it implemented in 2009-2010 when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress?

The truth is that some of these idiotic Marxist measures -- like the "card check" unionization law that labor unions had been pushing in the 2008 election cycle -- are so politically dangerous that even Democrats won't touch them.

Right.

And Obamacare was given the first slot in the long line of ways the Left wants to “fundamentally change America,” ‘cause it is a serial killer of our Republic.

Obamacare was passed because it was overwhelmingly popular in Washington ... among lobbyists, that is. Even most Republicans supported it, though they had to vote against it for the sake of political expediency.

comrade obamatollah will lawlessly enact executive amnesty by fiat AFTER elections during the lame duck session.

Suddenly we will have > 40 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS...and new voters for socialism. Forever.

This will be the final nail in the coffin called America.

Our only hope will be CW2
