Basically this is a setup for the elections in the Fall.
What I mean is this, the boarder issue is big, especially right now. And, its getting worse by the day. He was not clear in the speech what he was going to do. Which means and history is clear, whatever he does will be too little too late.
This is OK with him and the executive branch because, if it goes from bad to worse then they have the perfect excuse.
... Which is “This mess was caused by the Republicans”
and it just so happens that elections are coming up this Fall and that is the perfect time to release the 2nd half of Mr. Obamas trap. (Blame someone else for he problem)
....And this further accomplishes Democrats main agenda which is to hold on to or gain power.
You see they’re main mission is to first hold on to power, and second is to build their base.
This whole thing with Obama is to help win elections and build the base. No matter if he makes the U.S. worse off in the meantime. As long as you can keep fooling a majority of the people and build the majority by creating a permanent underclass of dependent and supportive class of VOTERS his mission is successful in his mind.
Oh and its also a big middle finger to the latest Supreme Court rulings against him.
Utterly disgusting.
