Michelle Obama to Latinos: ‘We cannot afford to wait on Congress’ for immigration
Washington Times ^ | 07/13/2014 | By Cheryl K. Chumley

First lady Michelle Obama grabbed the political reins during a speech to the League of United Latin American Citizens in New York City, telling the crowd of admirers not to worry — that her husband wouldn’t wait on Congress to take action on immigration reform.

“So make no mistake about it — we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration,” Mrs. Obama said, to a cheering crowd, Breitbart reported. “And as my husband has said, he’s going to do whatever administrative action it takes to fix this broken system.”

Mrs. Obama then vowed that Congress wouldn’t get in the way of her presidential husband’s hopes for immigration change.

“We cannot afford to wait on Congress to lift up our next generation,” she said, Breitbart reported. “We can’t afford to wait on anybody when it comes to our kids’ future. Your grandparents and parents didn’t wait for opportunities to come to them. No, they packed up their families and moved to this country for a better life.” Shortly after, Mrs. Obama began to list the civil rights offenses that plagued the Hispanic community at America’s hands in recent decades.

we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration,”...I believe that, too. We need more laws that WILL be enforced to reform immigration.

Hitler was given authority to make law on his own by the Weimar Republic, so there is precedent.

“”I think she’s going to be the Dems’ presidential candidate in 2016, or at least is positioning herself for consideration.)””

PLEASE! Most of us now are ready to commit Hari Kari. That would absolutely push us over the edge.. Makes my head hurt to even think about it.

I think we can correctly say that neither of these bumpkins received enough attention as children. What was the line from Full Metal Jacket? That fits them!

The Queen speaks. All hail the Queen.


Yeah Queen Jezebel. Except in the Obama family they eat the dogs...

We always have time to follow the Constitution, after all; we are a nation of laws. That's what they said when we wanted to defund Obama care.

“”We can’t afford to wait on anybody when it comes to our kids’ future””

Whose kids’ future would that be, Michelle?

Is the private school their kids go to going to admit some of the ILLEGALS arriving in our country right now with their diseases? They can’t afford the tuition? I don’t see that as a problem for the bozo with the phone and the pen!!! Get them admitted and write a check!!! FROM YOUR CHECKBOOK, jerk!


If Mrs. Obama had a son, he would be an illegal alien...

If we carry that far enough back in history, that statement would be talking about the pilgrims. I thought they were evil Europeans for taking the land from the Indians. Thus the rest of the immigrants were more evil Europeans who moved here and messed everything up by owning slaves, keeping women down, using child labor, causing global warming etc. You can't be proud of your heritage and preach white guilt at the same time.

Sounds like she calls the shots. Just think....Barry has to listen to her pillow talk on every subject out there. He has to obey, or else.

I agree we can’t wait on Congress. The American people need to rise up in peaceful mass demonstrations against Obama.

SO there queen moochele is telegraphing that they will just go around Congress. And what is Congress going to do about that? They had better step up to the plate or else they may never get a chance to. Baraq and his fellow travelers are on a tear and don’t show any signs of letting up.

Read between the lines there Congress, repubs and dims.
The dimrats who enable baraq are in more danger than they know. Look at what happens to the useful idiots after a revolution. Same with the enabling media.
