White House: Obama Will Act On Immigration Despite GOP Warnings To Hold Off
By Ed O'Keefe November 7 President Obama firmly rejected advice from top congressional Republicans on Friday that he delay his promised executive action on immigration reform, dismissing calls from critics inside and outside his party to allow Congress to debate the issue next year.
Over a two-hour lunch of Bibb lettuce salad, herb-crusted sea bass and pumpkin tart, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and their lieutenants warned Obama that his acting alone on immigration would spoil chances for bipartisan agreement on other issues in the new GOP-controlled Congress.
Seated with 12 top members of the House and Senate in the Old Family Dining Room, Obama shot back that he intended to proceed, saying that he had already waited almost two years for congressional action on immigration. He added that his decision should not upend chances for cooperation on unrelated matters, according to aides familiar with the exchange.

Oloser pi$$ing off conservatives who won a mandate. Boehner and McConnell will have harder time controlling their caucus. more and more House members now despise Obama
That is what community organizers from south side of Chicago do. Why is this even news or surprise?
The Progressive voter-registration drive must go on even in the face of opposition by the ignorant, moronic, absolutely stupid Christian people who oppose “immigration reform”.
See?

IMHO
Obama is gone in two years. Republicans control Congress. They can now bring a direct challenge to the President’s lawlessness. He’ll get bitch slapped by SCOTUS.
Look to 2016. Time to ask Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren whether they support his action of Obama. Every time he does something unlawful, press Hillary for a response.
Obama is a bully. Pubbies had better stand up to this right here and right now, or they’re in for even more abuse. It will only get worse if they don’t stop him.
IMO we are heading straight for a major constutional crisis. And its going to get really ugly.
He doesn’t care anymore how obvious it is that he’s actively disregarding the Constitution
Clown Prince nobola needs to get the what for. I don’t know if the Repubs have it in them...
bozo isn’t going to get away with selling our nation out to prospective democrat voters. Big Red Line there.
He’s a presumptuous ass, syntheticly divining what those who did not vote and therefore express what their desires are and intended direction of the country.
I don’t want him removed, I want him put in Jail. Preferably in GITMO with his islamist friends.
The sooner the better.
Time to stand up to this socialist community organizer was in 2012. It is now too late after giving him power of the executive and commander in chief.
Now we have no choice except bear the xxxx job without vaseline for 2 more years.
Obama will push and push, daring congress to impeach him knowing that it will never happen because of the race card he holds. It's just a matter of him testing the limits of how far he can go in the next two years.
