Tonight, President Obama will be addressing the nation on how he is going to move forward on Immigration Reform through Executive action.  He will lay out his plan on how he will go about fixing this problem legally, and what's at stake when he does it ( Read more... )

The mere fact that he is doing his job so well, quite frankly offends some people of the Republican Party....

Your simplistic race-baiting aside, what has Mr. Obama done so well in his job up to this point?

I'm not even gonna go there about race-baiting....because anytime someone like me brings up the topic, that is the first thing we get accused of.

Frankly, if you wanna have that debate, then I will make sure to cover in one of my future article posts, but for now let's be me honest with you....

Obama has done quite a remarkable job as President, in my opinion, considering the hand is being dealt in Washington DC. It takes a steady person to deal with the daily bashing he gets from the left and the right (and probably at home too), and still be able to run this country. We give him a hard time when he does something wrong, but we never praise him enough when he does something right.

And if you wanna say he's done nothing right at all, then that's completely debatable...

..but I'm sure there are people on this website salivating at the mouth right now ready to respond to that, so let's hear it!! :)

Well he sure hasn't helped his party stay in power.

Interestingly, Democrats distanced themselves from Obama and lost.

Well, ain't that a succinct rebuttal. Point of inquiry: is that your best shot?

I was expecting a rebuttal of some substance but hey, if you want to get even lower than your previous attempt, who am I to stop you?

Bookmarked for when President Ted Cruz decides to "just stop enforcing the ACA," cause, you know, he doesn't like it.

Bookmarked for the day when Ted Cruz drops out of the presidential race.

(Heads up: I don't really think Cruz will win. I don't particularly want him to, either. I just picked his name cause he is particularly toxic for liberals. I might as well have said "Santorum" or "Bush" or "Rubio." The point isn't the president, it is that "what is good is sauce for the goose is sauce for gander" is all well and good,... for certain values of sauce. )

A president's precedent is a many edged sword.

Yes yes, the backpedaling on your initial bet has also been duly noted!

Strictly speaking the presidential oath does include the term "faithfully execute" failure to do so would be swearing a false oath and potentially punishable with prison time if Obama were a member of the military or civil service rather than just in charge of them.

That said if I were Speaker of the House I'd be drafting a bill requiring the Government to refund all visa and immigration fees collected from legal Immigrants since 2008 along with legal expenses. Send it through right after Obama signs the order and dare him to veto it.
