Jay Carney: Obama ‘Literally’ Doing What He Said Was Unconstitutional in 2011
The Washington Free Beacon ^

Posted on 11/21/2014 8:13:44 AM PST by don-o

Former White House spokesman Jay Carney admitted on CNN that President Obama did indeed flip-flop on executive amnesty.

Host Anderson Cooper asked Carney for his opinion, after showing a series of clips of Obama denouncing executive amnesty, “So, I mean, other than his frustration, what has changed? I mean, he’s a constitution scholar. What has changed that allows him to do this?”

“I think if he could have those words back, especially the first clip where he specifically talked about suspending deportations,” Carney said, “that is literally what he is doing today.”

Carney went on saying, “In later instances including when I was there he would speak carefully about what he could not do as president. He can’t change the law. He can’t provide a path to citizenship.”

Carney is such an A-Level Obama liar that just his saying this makes me have to re-think my position.

OBAMA’S WAR AGAINST THE AMERICAN WORKERS

Obama's Executive Amnesty Could REWARD MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS WHO VIOLATED OUR SOVEREIGNTY ENTERING ILEGALLY IN THE COUNTRY, BUT IT WILL PROFOUNDLY AFFECT THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED AMERICAN BLUE COLLAR WORKERS.

Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's anti-Black amnesty.

OBAMA’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY TO MIGRANTS THAT ARE LIVING ILLEGALLY IN THE U.S.A.

After destroying the best health care system in the world, Obama is determined to grant wide amnesty to foreigners living illegally in U.S. If Obama wants to make the U.S. into another banana republic, it seems he is well underway to reaching his goal.

Obama’s Amnesty Will Add As Many Foreign Workers As New Jobs Since 2009

The Republicans must make it perfectly clear that Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America. There are 92 million of able Americans out of the work force because they cannot find employment and Obama wants to legalize and give work permits to over 11 million illegal aliens allowing them to bring here the rest of their families. In other words, another 25 or 30 million that either will compete with Americans and legal immigrants searching for scarce jobs or are going to be added to welfare, bankrupting Medicaid and the food stamp system as well as ruining even more the quality of the public schools with the massive infuse of hundreds of thousands of children without speaking English to already overburdened schools systems.

Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's anti-Black amnesty. Black Americans are already suffering higher unemployment since Obama took power. Obama’s new class of protected immigrants will take over their jobs and Blacks will be forced to share their welfare checks and food stamps with them

Despite Jay Carney being on the right side of this issue in this one instance. He can just suck it. He aided and abetted Obama from day one of his tenure and continued until he left. Having remorse or ideals or convictions after you’ve help destroy this country now that you’re supposed to be a “frigging journalist” ain’t gonna cut it.

Just suck it, Jay.

Only heard that clip, not the whole panel discussion, but I was surprised that CNN was contrasting what he said and what he did, in no uncertain terms.

Anyone else find it interesting how both of Oba-mao’s former press secretaries (Gibbs and Carney) have since regularly become some of the Kenyan Marxist’s most outspoken critics?

Based upon his performance today and his demonstrated knowledge of the constitution, I do not consider him a ‘constitutional scholar.’ If anything he is working to disestablish rather than to support and defend the constitution.

The fact of the matter is:

Unless congress is willing to check the power of a president, a president, ANY president, has LIMITLESS power.

Obama could break into Rush's how tomorrow, shot him in the head and off his dog too just for kicks and there's not a damn thing ANYONE could do to stop it.

Obama could declare everyone in central and south america US citizen as of today, and there is nothing ANYONE could do to stop it.

As long as congress is unwilling to act to stop him, Obama has unlimited power.

Even the courts can't stop him. He will just ignore any ruling they make. Saying something to the effect of, the Supreme Court has ruled... now let them try to enforce it!

Apparently Carney was burned out as chief assistant liar for Obama.
His conscience must be getting the best of him.

Anyone that has a few moments to skim the “Constitutional Law Scholar’s” class Exams from his Law Lecturer Days, here is the link to the NYTimes blog with about 10 or so clickable links to scanned copies.

Be prepared to be “underwhelmed”.
