During a press conference Wednesday, President Obama once again spoke about the possibility of taking executive action to deal with the crisis at the southern border. He was asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl whether he feels a "duty" to push the limits of executive power since Congress is failing to act.
Obama maintained he is bound by the Constitution and the confines of his executive power, but said the American people don't want him to "twiddle his thumbs" and wait for Congress to agree on comprehensive immigration reform.
There continues to be hints that Obama will use executive power to grant amnesty to immigrants who have crossed into the U.S. illegally.

...”King Hussein has everyone in D.C. blackmaled into submission”.....
If that’s the case then it sure looks like this country means little to those who’ve allowed themselves to be blackmailed.
Ø shares with “The Brain”, many of the same thoughts/thinking, guiding his actions.
Yeah, go ahead, Barry, make our day, but do it a little closer to election time.
The grassroots are like a body without a head. There is nothing for them to rally around and no recognized authority to coordinate them.
......”The grassroots are like a body without a head. There is nothing for them to rally around and no recognized authority to coordinate them”......
Yes, looks that way doesn’t it.... So where are the tea party leaders, I would think they could garner support for someone to lead. Unfortunately they seem to have been caught up in the social issues rather than the big picture we’re seeing now.
Amnesty will happen during the lame duck session. Boehner wants it, GOPe wants it. After it's signed into law, Boehner announces he will retire after the 2016 elections.
Other RINOs will be lining up jobs on K Street and/or adding to their campaign funds, to prepare for the tsunami of primaries that would result.
Don’t I remember a “twiddle his thumbs” clause in the Constitution? Or maybe it was in the Declaration of Independence.
No. Now that I’ve had my coffee I think it was in the Democrat Platform in 2008 and 2012.
But I could be wrong about that.
Any time a politician uses the word “comprehensive,” my fanny tightens! In today’s political parlance, comprehensive means the ordinary citizen is going to get screwed.
liberals, registered democrats and RINOs are all the equivalent of the Loyalists during the last revolution and deserve the same fate.
It is time. For the Constitution, for the Republic.
The majority of colonists were not behind or not fully behind and actively supporting the last revolution; at the beginning. Even at the end, many were still Loyalists or passive supporters.
I think the chances for America would be better with a nuclear bomb
Congress is not refusing to act, Karl. THE SENATE IS! The Senate has not passed a bill in ages. Well, except the VA bill.
You know that. Why are you still carrying the Dem/Obama water? It is obvious to all of us just what you are doing.
Several years ago, my wife and I watched “Waitress,” a clever and sweet little film written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. Shelly was A VERY talented lady who also played a supporting role.
She was senselessly MURDERED in her NY apartment on November 1, 2006. Her body was found hanging by a sheet from a shower rod – by her husband. She was 40 and left behind a 3 year-old daughter who will never know her real mother.
A 19 YEAR OLD ECUADORIAN — AN ILLEGAL WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE (THANK YOU CLINTON AND BUSH) — CONFESSED TO HER MURDER.
They are killing an estimated 25 of us every day.
IT WILL STOP WHEN THE MORONS IN WASHINGTON GET AS SERIOUS ABOUT THE ILLEGAL INVASION AS THEY ARE ABOUT HARASSING NATIVE BORN CITIZENS AT THE AIRPORTS.
(AND, YES, I INTENDED TO SHOUT BECAUSE I’M MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS CRAP!)
How about you???
Do you suppose this madness might have ended years ago if one of Bush’s daughters or McCain’s kids had been a victim of one of the millions of illegals they’ve allowed in here to kill the rest of us? Obama has promised to turn the borders into one-way turnstiles marked “ENTER” while HIS girls will be safe at Sidwell Friends.
Of course, any illegal attempting to do so would most likely be taken out by a well armed SS detail.
I’ve been a regular at local congressional town hall meetings for a few dozen years and noted that starting around 10 years ago, the majority of those there were angry that nothing was being done about the illegal invasion.
Why are we still waiting for the clowns in Malfunction Junction – who can produce convoluted legislative proposals to line their pockets or deliver pork back home and ram it through in the dark of night – to secure our national borders?
Perhaps YOU should get on over to those congressional town hall meetings and raise some serious hell – before YOU die at the hands of someone who ought not even BE HERE!
We have enough indigenous criminals. WE SURE AS HELL DON’T NEED TO IMPORT MORE.
And if there ARE WMD here now, intelligence sources I trust have it that they came through that sieve-like border with Mexico, having been brought in by radical Muslims disguised as migrant workers seeking jobs. Someone will need to answer for that if a few American cities vanish or are rendered uninhabitable by some disease or toxin.
My and my wife’s great-great-grandparents came her to places like Ellis Island where they were questioned, deloused and given instructions to learn or become more proficient in ENGLISH and told that to become citizens, they would have to learn some American history and government then take and pass a test. THEY proudly walked through the FRONT door.
My patience is exhausted with those politicians and others who hold that those who CREPT through the BACK DOOR should be allowed to remain here let alone be granted citizenship by legislative fiat. It begs the question, how must those who, like OUR ancestors, did it the RIGHT WAY feel as they wait in line – often for YEARS – to come through the front door. Pretty foolish, don’t you think.
PS: While on jury duty a while back, one of my fellow jurors told me that her nephew was killed a year earlier by two illegals DRIVING their truck with FAULTY BRAKES to the BRAKE SHOP to be repaired when – surprise, surprise — the BRAKES FAILED AND THEY KILLED HER NEPHEW. I guess these MORONS thought they were back in Mexico where – in addition to driving DRUNK — they and their idiot friends do crap like that all the time. Can you say “Tijuana Taxi?” Can you say “TOW TRUCK?”
The driver got 4 years in prison and will be deported when he gets out.
Gotta wonder how long it will take him to sneak back in and kill someone else?
Congress refuse to cut off the money, of course they have about 700 Billion that seems to have gone missing, just disappeared, so maybe they can't cut off the money.
And yet you see all this before you yet do not yet realize that it is happening just as the oligarchs want it to happen, to divide and dissolve the e The People nation. Waking up, coming to realization, etc., these are mischaracterizations for the servants of the oligarchs which we ‘send’ to Washington. They no longer work for the people, they are owned, blackmailed, bought and paid for, slithering servants of evil oligarchs who remain hidden from scrutiny because they own the lying whoredom euphemistically known as ‘the media’.
I am now convince we need a king because we are too stupid to govern ourselves. In any case whether we need one or not, we have one.
The Social issues are the big picture, without them it doesn't matter. Barry Goldwater ignored them as did Bob Dole, Juan mCCain and Mittons.
Social Issues are what the Democrates are pushing....and we’re just following where they lead. That’s why we’re not winning.
I’m not saying they aren’t important, of course they are, but if we don’t get a handle on the big picture of where our nations overall governing bodies are at and accountability then no amount of social issues will matter.
Our congress has been bought and sold...or blackmailed. It’s useless. They all play their own hand to their advantage. Meanwhile we’re simply the commodity that keeps them in office....and we’re the fools for doing so!
