President Obama firmly rejected advice from top congressional Republicans on Friday that he delay his promised executive action on immigration reform, dismissing calls from critics inside and outside his party to allow Congress to debate the issue next year.
Over a two-hour lunch of Bibb lettuce salad, herb-crusted sea bass and pumpkin tart, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and their lieutenants warned Obama that his acting alone on immigration would spoil chances for bipartisan agreement on other issues in the new GOP-controlled Congress.
Seated with 12 top members of the House and Senate in the Old Family Dining Room, Obama shot back that he intended to proceed, saying that he had already waited almost two years for congressional action on immigration. He added that his decision should not upend chances for cooperation on unrelated matters, according to aides familiar with the exchange.
The new focus on Obama’s plans to revamp the immigration system by executive fiat came as the president is reportedly reviewing proposals to allow as many as 5 million illegal immigrants to stay in the United States at least temporarily...

Dining like kings, while they scheme to continue the import of Dim voters, and the destruction of the Pubbies.
That’s it! He needs to be impeached. What an arrogant motherf***.
POLLS SHOW 80% ARE AGAINST EXECUTIVE AMNESTY!
This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and I don’t give a damn what your affirmative action AG nominee says! Republicans need to make the case. Watch his approval crater further, then tell the American people we are moving to impeach and arrest.
Impeach his bony arse. Take away his funding.
so what are the rhino twins going to do about it? meet him halfway?
they should have come out swinging
Obama will act on this. It will be interesting to see how the GOP handles this.
BTTT!
Obola:I would like 11 million green cards
Bonehead:If we compromise it will look like we are working together! How about 10.5 million?
Obola: 10.8 and it’s a deal.
Bonehead :Done
Obama is daring the R’ s to impeach his sorry ass. They need to slap him down hard.
Beef HOT DOGS are a luxury item here vs. franks made from “chicken & pork.”
I think this is the self-implosion.
He is daring the GOP to do something to try to stop him. Will they be up for a fight or will they wimp out?
Yeah same here. I don’t even know what Bibb lettuce salad is.
Boehner and McConnell (or Gowdy and Cruz) need to publicly tell Obama that he lacks authority to grant amnesty to illegal aliens and that should he make any such proclamation it is without force of law. Further, usurpation of Congress’s authority can not and will not be tolerated.
Here comes a 26 month tantrum like no parents of a two year old have ever seen.
my herb crusted sea bass tastes a little fishy
They should challenge him in court. I don’t believe the Executive Order is intended to be used in this manner.
We do not have a king. We have a chump. And chumps need to work by consensus.
Congress should be ready to challenge this president seconds after he tries this, right straight to the SCOTUS.
If nothing else on day one, get an injunction.
Hahahaha! Where do you find these things?!?!
They’re completely out of touch with the American people.
