Pres. Obama is daring Republicans to vote on whether or not his executive actions are legal.
Discussing opposition to his executive amnesty orders at an immigration town hall Wednesday, Obama said he would veto the vote because his actions are “the right thing to do”:
“So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I’m absolutely confident that what we’re doing is the right thing to do.”
Obama argued that he has merely “expanded my authorities” – not broken any laws:
“What we’ve done is we’ve expanded my authorities under executive action and prosecutorial discretion as far as we can legally under the existing statute, the existing law. And so now the question is, how can we get a law passed.”

He's daring Congress to do anything about it, knowing that his allies in the Mainstream Media will crush anyone that dares to try and step forward.
And it's clear that the average American isn't interested in protecting our freedoms, anymore. They don't want to be seen as 'not cool!', after all, and totalitarianism is all the rage now.
so Obama is Daring them to Impeach him ?
IMPEACH THIS MF’ING CLOWN!!
At some point he will get what is coming to him. I just hope it’s soon.
Right or wrong is arguable. Legality is defined and not always in agreement with what is ‘right or wrong’
Richard Potato.
He’s a spiteful bastard so yes he is rubbing all our noses in it. He knows nobody can touch him.
He’s the quintessential community organizer Chicago thug.
The military is sworn to defend America from all enemies — FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. It’s time for some to take a hard look at what that oath requires them to do.
I used to love current events. Now current events have become satire. I wonder if this is what “end times” look like?
Last days of the Roman Republic. Augustus Obama is dealing the cards and all (half) the Senate can do is whine before heading to their countryside villas to enjoy their perks while us plebes are crushed politically and the economy shifts to illegal/slave labor.
Yes, he will. Tyrants always have bad endings.
no way it would happen.
He claims to be “black”.
At some point even the tired, comfortably set-for-life GOP leaders will have taken just about enough of the “obama” the president continues to throw in their faces. It’s long past the point most men would tolerate.
Yeah, but Valerie Jarrett is holding the veto pen. Obambozo is too stupid to think of doing this. He’s too busy on his prayer rug or playing golf. Valerie will wield the pen.
Who said they were men?
congress, and GOP congress especially are weaker than even your average Joe Citizen. Even when they get fed up they can’t and wont do anything about it. Don’t put your hopes in them.
