Obama tries to put Republicans on immigration hot seat (calls AZ immigration law 'unenforceable')
Washington Times ^ | July 1, 2010 | Stephen Dinan

Seeking to inject urgency into the push for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, President Obama on Thursday called on Republicans to join the effort, telling them he can't pass a bill without them.

After pushing through an economic stimulus bill and health care with barely any Republican support in the first 16 months of his administration, the president said this issue is too dangerous to tackle — for Democrats and the GOP — without having both parties involved.

"I'm ready to move forward, the majority of Democrats are ready to move forward, and I believe the majority of Americans are ready to move forward. But the fact is without bipartisan support, as we had just a few years ago, we cannot solve this problem," Mr. Obama told about 250 immigration-rights advocates in a speech at American University in Washington....

But a 500,000 page health care takeover is completely enforceable.

He has enough Democrats to pass anything and the Republicans should make that point.

Spoken like your typical Kenyan. Way to go Barry. We’ll do it ourselves. You just stick with your buddies in Mexico and let Americans handle the tough jobs. Unlike you Marxist Kenyans, Americans are not losers.

So they trotted out Mister Bojangles to do a little dance for our illegal immigrants this morning, and this was the best he could do?

Sheesh.

It is enforceable.

That is why the supporters of the invasion are opposed to it.

It’s already working. Invaders are already exiting Arizona in large numbers.

I guess if they just all turned around and shouted LIAR! , that would be inappropriate?

What needs to be hammered, hammered, and hammered again are three things: 1) The continual parade of drug smugglers across the open parts of the border. 2) The threat the illegals from Mexico (etc) are to our citizens, from the ranchers close to the AZ border to the women who are attacked and raped. 3) The unsustainability of paying for these insects' social services: education, welfare, food stamps, etc., and how what they put in to the economy doesn't equal what they take out of it. Repeat it until Obama's ears bleed, along with the fact that illegals are breaking the law simply by being here. Then repeat it some more.

You had one part right on target...”The office of the Presidency is over”.

If Arizona law is “unenforceable” it will be because he makes it so. Let it work and then say it is “unenforceable”. But, if he lets it work and it is successful, he’ll look even dumber. So that means he will fight it all the way.

What would be awesome is if one lone American, sick of Obama’s crap, started muttering in a low voice, “You lie. You lie. You lie...” Looking over at another American with a smile, the other starts as well: “You lie. You lie. You lie...”

Then another.
Another.

Louder and louder.

Until finally Obama’s shouted at with a raging crowd over and over:
“You LIE! You LIE! You LIE!”

That would make the best YouTube video ever.

Translation: no republican votes to cover my Kenyan ass, no amnesty for illegal aliens.

Fine with me.

I don’t think there’s any way he could look “dumber”, but he does have ways of surprising us
