Rep. Tony Cardenas on Sunday defended President Obama against charges that he betrayed Hispanic voters when he decided to delay executive action on immigration until after the midterm elections.
Cardenas, a California Democrat, conceded that Hispanics were frustrated with Obama and disappointed with his decision. But the congressman blamed House Republicans, who have blocked consideration of a bipartisan immigration reform bill that passed the Senate last year, for “forcing” Obama into the position of having to take potentially unpopular unilateral action to legalize a portion of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.

Obama: Political Theater ‘Not Something That Comes Naturally to Me’
“....Reagan believed in strength and might for self-protection. Obama believes in “might.” He thinks, Yes, I might do this and I might do that. I don’t know. The less I do, the better. I don’t want the responsibility of my acts.
Remember when Obama was a senator in Illinois. He never took a position on anything. He was always “present.” But he was never really present. He has never been here for us...”

A moment of Obama resolve and clarity? An Obama strategy?
“As a U.S. senator, Barack Obama won $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine destroy thousands of tons of guns and ammunition – weapons which are now unavailable to the Ukrainian army as it faces down Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Crimea.
In August 2005, just seven months after his swearing-in, Obama traveled to Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine with then-Indiana Republican Senator Dick Lugar, touring a conventional weapons site.
The two met in Kiev with President Victor Yushchenko, making the case that an existing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program covering the destruction of nuclear weapons should be expanded to include artillery, small arms, anti-aircraft weapons, and conventional ammunition of all kinds.
After a stopover in London, the senators returned to Washington and declared that the U.S. should devote funds to speed up the destruction of more than 400,000 small arms, 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles, and more than 15,000 tons of ammunition..................................”
““forcing” Obama into the position of having to take potentially unpopular unilateral action to legalize a portion of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.”
Well, let me see...we’ve heard the “11 million number” for how many years...15...20? We know the border is not secure and millions upon millions more are here now.
The real number must be closer to 30 million, conservatively speaking.
Eleven Million, is it now?
How is it that the NSA knows the contents of my sock drawer, but we can’t determine to, the nearest Ten Million, how many illegal aliens are living in the United States?
The congressmen/women who fail to do Obama's bidding were elected by citizens who expect them to represent their interests
and to keep their oath to preserve, protect and defend the US Constitution.
It is not their job to be Obama's lap dogs. like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and others.
When Obama doesn't get what he wants he calls names and throws a hissy fit like a 12 year old girl.
This quote from P.J. O’Rourke describes Obama quite well:
“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding,
ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”
Yes!
ALL democrats are part and parcel of Obama’s destruction of the country (and his elevation of our and our allies’ enemies around the globe) - they are complicit with Obama’s action and inaction!
You are spot on with this one. I despise demodummies, starting at the very top of the manure pile (odumbo).
Hey Idiot.....Obama’s going to make 6 MILLION people LEGAL the day after the election, and ANY Republican that STAYS home on Election Day should be ASHAMED of themselves for not sending TROOPS to try to STOP this!
So typical of Dems to project when namecalling.
It is within the scope of Congressional authority to do nothing about a given issue.
Many of our problems, maybe most of them, come from Congress doing “something” as opposed to nothing.
Congress exercising its authority to do nothing does not expand the scope of Presidential authority.
The “do nothing” congress that has passed almost 400 bills in the House ... most with bipartisan support ... that are now sitting on Reids desk waiting for the Senate to do something with them? That do nothing congress?
That is, can executive action be used to deny 8,000,000 illegals work visas instead of giving them work visas?
It seems to me that if President Obama has the legal power to use executive action to hand out work visas to illegals, then he should also have the legal power to deny such work visas.
NOTE: Obama likes to use the phrase "Because it was the right thing to do" when he tries to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.
So get ready to hear Obama use that phrase above over and over as he tries to justify to the American people why he signed his executive order granting work visas to 8,000,000 illegals instead of denying visas to 8,000,000 illegals.
======================================================
Obama's lips are pressed firmly on Turd World behinds. Obama's actions speak louder than words----the colossal collusion and conspiracy w/ the Turd World:
<><> extorting tax dollars and US resources to violate US borders,
<><>chartering buses and planes to dump them on unsuspecting towns,
<><> secret WH meetings to get more new Democrat voters across the border,
<><> registering the multiple identities w/ the DNC,
<><> giving barbarians free rides on the US gravy train (in exchange for votes).
==============================================
Taxpayers demand the FBI uncover the scope and dimension of US ntl security threats.
<><><>the number of falsified documents on the persons of illegals,
<><><>the number of identities illegals are using;
<><><> the number of US govt checks they are cashing;
<><><> the list of memberships in violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt
<><><> the number of stolen Social Security numbers on their persons,
<><><> whether bribes were paid to get across the order,
<><><> whether illegals are paid agents of foreign governments.
=====================================================
Taxpayers are urged to act now.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know which members of The Congressional Hispanic Caucus and hyphenate pressure groups have signed off on subversive activities advocating the overthrow of the US govt.
The truth is that some of these idiotic Marxist measures -- like the "card check" unionization law that labor unions had been pushing in the 2008 election cycle -- are so politically dangerous that even Democrats won't touch them.
Right.
And Obamacare was given the first slot in the long line of ways the Left wants to “fundamentally change America,” ‘cause it is a serial killer of our Republic.
Obamacare was passed because it was overwhelmingly popular in Washington ... among lobbyists, that is. Even most Republicans supported it, though they had to vote against it for the sake of political expediency.
Round them up and send them ALL back to the shithole countries they came FRom!
comrade obamatollah will lawlessly enact executive amnesty by fiat AFTER elections during the lame duck session.
Suddenly we will have > 40 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS...and new voters for socialism. Forever.
This will be the final nail in the coffin called America.
Our only hope will be CW2
