Obama Said to Weigh Delaying Action on Immigration
New York Times ^ | August 29, 2014 | By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Under pressure from nervous Democratic Senate candidates in tight races, President Obama is rethinking the timing of his pledge to act on his own to reshape the nation’s immigration system by summer’s end, and could instead delay some or all of his most controversial proposals until after the midterm elections in November, according to people familiar with White House deliberations.

Inside the White House, the timing of an announcement has become the subject of a fierce debate.

Some of Mr. Obama’s advisers are urging him to postpone it, fearful of the political ramifications of a sweeping action to protect millions of illegal immigrants from deportation and provide many of them official work papers.

But others inside the White House are pushing the president to stick to his promised schedule, regardless of the immediate political consequences.

Pressure, he could not give a damn but as you know, the last 2 years is about securing legacy and the senior dems may have finally told his majesty to knock it off.

Probably the same amount of delay to get ULTRA and rescue James Foley.

"President Obama is rethinking the timing of his pledge to act on his own [emphasis added] ..."

I wonder how many citizens, including patriots, don't understand that POTUS has no constitutional authority to act on his own.

Sadly, corrupt federal lawmakers have politically defeated key constitutional provisions, such as the "power of the purse" clause, Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, that enable Congress to stop a corrupt POTUS like Obama from acting on their own.

Who could have guessed? A hard hitting report from the NY Slimes.

If ISIS attacks from our Southern Border as is being reported they are planning from a story today on Drudge, there won’t be any immigration action. There won’t be any impeachment either. Even the Rats will be helping bring in a u-haul throwing his fat assed wife and freeloading M.I.F. wench, along with the Coward in Charge out in the street.

They won’t like wearing that badge for the next 40 years

He has secured his legacy: he is American hating scum who has worked to both diminish the U.S. and to aid our enemies.

This guy couldn’t make a decision if his life depended on it. He decides and then when the time draws near, he gets cold feet, he waffles and hems and haws and begins to second-guess himself, then looks to Valerie Jarrett to decide for him. That’s what we get for electing a community organizer, who’s toughest job was handing out flyers in south Chicago. A guy who voted “present” 135+ times in the Illinois State senate because he couldn’t or didn’t want to decide. A guy who, when confronted with important and dangerous decisions on foreign policy, can’t bring himself to do anything. Remember, the Syrian red line debacle? Can’t even follow through on his own threats, claiming he never even made the threat. I’ll bet he needs Mooch or Jarrett to tell him when to go to the toilet and change his underwear. He’s a faculty-lounge bullshitter, a senate debater but a leader and decider, he is not. My goodness, what a wimp.

Why would he? He’s getting everything he wants already.

You don’t get it.

He already has what he wanted. The precedent is established.

Untold numbers can walk across our southern border, almost no questions asked. They are fed, cared for, and then sent by the thousands into our cities, towns, and villages. In all but a couple of noteworthy cases they’ve been welcomed with open arms, EBT cards, a phony notice to appear, and then they vanish.

And they’re going to keep coming. We’ve been put on notice that they’re simply not going to discuss this further. The “crisis” is over, no matter how many more come. The process will be repeated ad infinitum until we are strangers in the land of our birth.

Looks like lock-stepping Dummycrats got the discouraging word from the campaign trail.

Just the mention of "broken immmigration system" "unaccompanied" minors" and the laughable "this is the right thing to do"-----means eternal damnation.

Banishment forever from wealth-creating Congressional seats.

Tarring and feathering, and riding the Dummies out of town on a rail is a distinct possibility.
