WASHINGTON (AP) -- Abandoning his pledge to act by the end of summer, President Barack Obama has decided to delay any executive action on immigration until after the November congressional elections, White House officials said.

The move instantly infuriated immigration advocates while offering relief to some vulnerable Democrats in tough Senate re-election contests.

Two White House officials said Obama concluded that circumventing Congress through executive actions on immigration during the campaign would politicize the issue and hurt future efforts to pass a broad overhaul.

The WH won’t say it was a pledge. They will say it was a speak-o.

People who wouldn’t vote for a democrat if Obama issues amnesty BEFORE the election, then WOULD vote for the democrat if Obama will wait until AFTER the election, are just plain stupid.

Chances of good coming from the executive order 37%

Chances of bad coming from the EO 42%

therefore No EO

I know why: too many Democratic Senators and Representatives facing re-election this fall could take a MAJOR beating if amnesty was announced now.

His pen must have run out of ink and his phone ran out of minutes.

But his scissors are still sharp enough to cut up the rest of the constitution.

Friggin traitor.

You know things are bad when “latinos” don’t even want to live in “Latin America”. They are “frustrated” with Barry for not letting get the hell out of that joint.
