Q&A during Obama's NATO Press Conference. Guardian Reporter & Obama. Q: Some Democrats want you to delay action on immigration reform until after the elections. Will you do so?
Obama says he has been pretty busy this week, focused on Ukraine and Isis.
Fairly soon he will consider what the next steps are.
What he is sure is that the US needs immigration reform.
The House Republicans have sat on legislation, and delayed for more than a year.
In the absence of congressional action, he will act. There is a need for more resources at the border. And he wants to give people living in the US illegally a path to being able to be in the US legally.
He expects to be looking at this on his plane on the way back to the US.
In the absence of action from Congress, he will act himself.
And that’s it. The press conference is over.
I will post a summary shortly.

SURE.
One thing is for sure the Gardens at the White House should not be lacking fertilizer for the next century...
Bull shi...er...bull Obama.
Just an excuse.
The Democrats who are facing election are begging him to leave the immigration issue alone, at least all except the real whack jobs.
Another line in the sand washed away. ...perhaps later.
The heading is a typo it should read “now” rather than “not”
We need deportation reform instead. Send a whole bunch of riff raff back to the hellholes where they belong.
Oh. Never mind.
I encourage my fellow Freepers to fully understand and disseminate why Obama uses the term ISIL instead of ISIS when he refers to this cabal.
As soon as the election is over he will have time for it.
And he’ll be more ‘flexible’ :)
It must be tough trying to help your friends while looking like you’re an American.
Is he “pivoting” so much from one problem to another that he is spinning in circles?
Sort of reminds us all of the Oozlum Bird -

That’s right. And tougher to be forced to go after his friends, ISIS.
The evil bastard must be beside himself.
The Hispanics,the new blacks,wil be too stupid to realize that they’ve played!
This is the most obnoxious thing he does as President - Congress not acting is in fact Congress explicitly choosing not to act, it's not an abdication of power to the executive branch.
and after he does kill one with a drone he will then set up 16 navy seals.
and people wonder why I didn’t want my son serving under this muslim pos?
It's even worse than that. Congress not acting means that it isn't doing exactly what he wants. He doesn't compromise at all with the GOP, and then blames them for blocking any action.
Somebody give the guy a stick of gum and he’ll freeze up completely.
