Obama is already in violation of Article II of the United States Constitution for failing to faithfully execute immigration laws, as well as failing to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Now, as he has been on other issues, President Barack Obama has decided to legislate immigration reform through executive orders and regulatory actions, and his "I'm the guy in charge so I am circumventing Congress" activities are in violation of Article I, Section 1, which grants all legislative powers only to Congress. Legally, he cannot simply do what he wants, with or without, Congress. Congressional participation in the legislative process is not optional, as Obama seems to think.
During Barack Obama's Thursday Night Speech on Immigration, for fifteen minutes he played his game, trying to set up the Republicans if they dare oppose him. The speech was full of straw man arguments, misrepresentation of Scripture, and twisting of the premise of the immigration issue. His immigration speech to America was typical of his style, and the disgusting strategy employed was typical of leftist Democrats.
During this weekend I will break down the language of the transcript, post it to Political Pistachio and email the link to you once it is done if you are on our mailing list.
Like the community organizer that he is, the speech was laced with political salesmanship. Many of his points were ridiculous. Do we need an executive order to get law enforcement to focus on criminals? However, the reason for those assertions was the salesmanship. This issue is not one he holds close to his heart. It is not an emotional thing to him like he tries to convince Americans. Immigration is a tool, and he is willing to use its effectiveness against his enemies to its fullest.
A number of folks told me he did this now because he knew he couldn't once the Republicans take charge after the first of the year. True, he is using this issue for political reasons, and in fact that is why he held up this action until after the election. Obama did not wish to harm any of the Democrat campaigns by moving on this issue before the midterms. But don't be fooled into thinking Obama is a lame duck, or that he is doing this in an attempt to try and stay relevant as a lame duck? No, he is not a lame duck, he believes he can do as he pleases, he believes he is ruler, and king. Obama's narcissistic attitude is about to go into full throttle, and high gear, and he doesn't care if it is illegal, unconstitutional, or unpopular.
While doing as he pleases, regardless of the law, the opinion of the electorate, or the United States Constitution, the argument, if you listened closely to President Obama's speech, was that he was trying to craft a political argument challenging the Republican narrative. In other words, before they have a chance to respond, demonize any response they may come up with before they come up with it.
Obama also said he wants a rational debate, yet is it rational to take unilateral action? The hypocrisy is incredible, for he is doing what he accused Bush of, and now he's saying, "Let's be rational (which means, do what I tell you) or I will do with my pen and phone what I consider to be rational, and force the issue to comply with my dictates."
In other words, "If you want to keep me from acting illegally based on my own perception of the powers I believe I have, just give me what I want."
He invoked emotion, and Scripture, and even a quote by George W. Bush. He's pulling out all the stops, and his interpretation of the issue, his interpretation of Scripture, and his interpretation of Bush's words on the issue, were disgustingly inaccurate, and out of context.
Obama, during the speech, tried to explain to us how important this issue is. We must address it immediately. If immigration is so important, why did he wait until after the election? He knows it is a losing issue for Democrats, his immigration speech and actions would have jeopardized the campaigns of Democrats during the midterm election as I said earlier, yet his supporters reject the obvious in regards to the delay.
Either they are liars, or they are stupid.
Obama has no compassion for illegals. They are tools that he is using for political reasons. Obama's actions on immigration are all about forwarding his leftist political agenda. He is using the issue for political reasons, while pretending he is doing this for principled reasons.
Barack Obama is playing on the generosity of this nation, and then is deceptively acting like he actually gives a crap about these people. They are pawns in the game of progressive manipulation and deception.
This is not the last hurrah. The Democrats will not close the border after this, and this is an invitation for anyone to cross the border. When President Ronald Reagan signed amnesty during the 80s, he was assured the border would be secured by Tip O'Neill and the Democrats of his era, and he was promised that would be the only time we would grant amnesty. . . that we would never have to do it again. The Democrats reneged on the deal. They lied. They did the opposite of what they promised, and then have covered that part of history up in our education systems, and in the media. Their willingness to do what is legally right, and right regarding the security of this nation, did not exist then, and it does not exist now.
