Most if not all Networks are not going to cover his Speech
The something in the air is not obama ... Bye obama!
LOL ... I thoroughly enjoy saying this from a closed Military Base ... Bye obama! Ready Girls and Boys? Five!!!
As we are speaking out, let us also remember to pray to God that they are girded well for the fight.
Wrong.
Leadership in the GOP (or as I like to call them, the DOPE, which stands for Democrats Other Party Establishment) is posturing RIGHT THIS SECOND to remove Jeff Sessions, the Amnesty Hawk, from various committees, in favor of squishes that will not oppose Obama’s Amnesty.
The DOPEs are all for Obama’s Amnesty.
Short Term CR would be the best bet, then fight it out next year 1 bill at a time.
My understanding is the president can use the allocated funds any way he choses. For example, Clinton did not use allocated funds to buy bullets and bombs and literally ran us out of them in eight years. He didn’t buy spare parts either, and on his last day half of the Air Force and Navy planes could not fly for want of a critical item. Instead, he used the funds on his social causes. The Marines diapered AIDS babies in Africa. I’m sure there were other uses I don’t know about. If Obama makes “immigration reform” his most important item then we can forget about the military. They will all go home unpaid.
The GOP wants amnesty as much as the Democrats do. They just have to make a semblance of an appearance of fighting it, so as to keep their base somewhat happy.
I think the GOP *knows* that shutting down the government would not destroy them like the drive-bys say it will. That’s just the excuse they’re being given to allow them to not go the defunding route.
Since when has lack of money in the budget prevented the government from spending money they want to spend?
I won’t watch or listen to it.
Call both of your senators and your representative. Let them know you’re opposed to Obama’s reckless use of executive power.
How do the Republicans defund not enforcing immigration deportation law? Do we have to pay people to not do something therefore if funding is held back they’ll have to deport them?
Defunding is a joke. The President can just ignore this attempt and use other funds to pay for the amnesty. There is no way this can be stopped or even slow it down.
I hate to be the one to tell folks this..., but a comprehensive immigration reform bill will take place, even if the Republicans do block Obama’s plans.
Look back at when Obamacare was implemented. Note that the Republicans didn’t repudiate the idea outright. They just wanted to pass a ‘good plan’ not his.
That’s what we’re talking about here as well. It galls everyone that Obama is about to act unilaterally, but the truth is, the Republican leadership is only interested in blocking Obama’s plan. They want to implement their own plan.
This being the case, it’s just laughable the puffed up chests of the GOPe on this. It’s all a dog n pony show. It’s smoke an mirrors of the worst variety.
Our majority in both bodies of Congress would give Obama just what he wanted by mid 2015.
At least if he does it, they think they’ll be absolved. And that’s all that is on their minds. To hell with the Republic. As long as the GOPe can can absolve itself, that’s all that matters to it.
And/or have governors not permit fed to enter the state and choose not to enforce his EO.
