File this under always double-check before hitting send.

As reporters fell over themselves Wednesday morning to confirm the breaking news that President Obama had plans to announce his immigration executive order Thursday and expand upon it  Friday, some received an e-mail confirmation by mistake.

AFL-CIO spokesman Jeff Hauser inadvertently forwarded an e-mail intended for immigration activists to a long list of national reporters, including several at The Washington Post.

This seems like a widespread conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.

The WH asking the unions to turn out and pretend (for the cameras) to be excited by Obama's big immigration move.

That's rich.

I would have my doubts it was unintentional.

Union thugs have their own agenda.

Notice there is no talk of actually signing any order. Just announcing it and expanding on it.

Don’t count your chicano chickens before they’re hatched.

That’s OK.

The unions got their White House confirmation and coordination BEFORE the Congress did.

Then again, the media got it accidentally ... also before Congress did.

Oh yes and the Washington Post just finds it an amusing little key-stroke mistake: "File under always double-check."

If this were a Tea Party announcement there would be denunciations of foolishness, phoniness, lack of organization, hypocrisy in drumming up astroturf crowds, not to mention the violence implicit in such phrasings as "we need a lot of energy guaranteed."

Instead it's just one big dumb happy family including of course the millions who aren't legal and even the thousands who can't speak, let alone read, the English in the Washington Post.

He is folding before the fight has begun:

With Obama likely on the verge of making an announcement, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the soon-to-be majority leader, expressed confidence Wednesday that congressional Republicans will extend funding for the federal government, which is set to expire next month, even if the president moves to overhaul the immigration system and some conservatives call for a spending showdown.

Obama always has a planned crowd behind him for every damn announcement. He most likely will have a number of illegals from all the Latin American countries plus Mexicans out the -—. This pile of sheep dip and his hate America wife are clearly trying to destroy this country with everything they do.

What? They are overthrowing the citizenry of the US. The leaders are the same big business, open borders, free trade nuts we’ve had for decades.

The Democratic Party is the world’s largest criminal conspiracy masquerading as a political party.

Let me know the names of any Democrats it won't sit well with.

I have a brother who is a Democrat with whom Amnesty doesn't sit well.
In fact, given that I've seen statistics of the order of 80% of Americans don't want amnesty, I'm going to have to say that a large segment of Democrats don't.

Wikipedia: As of 2010, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats (tying a 22-year low), 29% as Republicans, and 38% as independents.

Given that approximately a third of Democrats would have to oppose amnesty in order to reach the 80% mark even if only Democrats supported it — and that's not a good assumption to make; especially since we've seen several Republican elites spilling just how much they want amnesty, too — I think that a better predictor would be "elites" (whether political, bureaucratic, or financial) vs. "the average Joe" rather than political party.
