Obama Immigration Speech: CBS, Fox, NBC & ABC Not Airing
Yahoo News ^ | 19 Nov 2014 | Dominic Patten

Posted on 11/19/2014 3:55:36 PM PST by 11th_VA

President Barack Obama will finally be making public tomorrow night what his plan is to overhaul immigration. However, while his primetime speech will postpone part of the 15th annual Latin Grammys, it will not be covered by most of the Big 4 – if any of them.

The administration announced today that POTUS will be speaking live from the White House at 8 PM ET on Thursday. ABC has the fall finale for Grey’s Anatomy on at that time while CBS has ratings powerhouse The Big Bang Theory, NBC has reality show The Biggest Loser and Fox has Bones. As of right now, three of those networks will not see any changes in their November sweep schedules due to the speech.

the media know that the American people won't put up with Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty . this is why the media will hide it.

instead the media will show us a million other things so we forget about this executive amnesty.

Everyone needs to boycott the Kenyan Emperor’s Vegas Fiasco Show. Turn off the TV and hug your kids and grandkids. Their future has been flushed by the Kommie Kenyan King Rat.

OBAMA’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY TO MIGRANTS THAT ARE LIVING ILLEGALLY IN THE U.S.A.

After destroying the best health care system in the world, Obama is determined to grant wide amnesty to foreigners living illegally in U.S. If Obama wants to make the U.S. into another banana republic, it seems he is well underway to reaching his goal.

The Republicans must make it perfectly clear that Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America. There are 92 million of able Americans out of the work force because they cannot find employment and Obama wants to legalize and give work permits to over 11 million illegal aliens allowing them to bring here the rest of their families. In other words, another 25 or 30 million that either will compete with Americans and legal immigrants searching for scarce jobs or are going to be added to welfare, bankrupting Medicaid and the food stamp system as well as ruining even more the quality of the public schools with the massive infuse of hundreds of thousands of children without speaking English to already overburdened schools systems.

The queer boy who wants so much to be king like his idols in Indonesia would be foolish to do that exec order.

It just might his bratiness showing, after having ‘mini mini tikel’ appear in his native language on the wall of his-supposed-royal-latrine.

Well, clearly he does NOT want us to hear his stupid speech. And neither do the networks.

Exactly. If it were the only thing on, there would be a massive negative reaction in the country. This is sort of like announcing something late Friday afternoon when Washington is closing up for the weekend so that the reaction is muted.

..... the president’s plan is to keep about 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally from being deported.

An estimated 4 million of them would qualify for relief based on having children who are citizens or legal residents or because of the length of time they have been in the country,..... multiple sources familiar with the president’s plan confirmed.

....those awarded deportation reprieves would NOT be eligible for Obamacare benefits”, sources confirmed.

....Millions of undocumented immigrants also would receive work permits..... the work permits would NOT be granted to family members of so-called Dreamers, young illegal immigrants who entered the country after they were born.

...the ‘replacement’ of Secure Communities, a law-enforcement program that checks the fingerprints of all inmates with the Department of Homeland Security to verify their immigration status.

.....Obama is also expected to issue an unknown number of additional H1-B visas,

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday found that nearly half of all respondents didn’t support Obama addressing immigration through executive order. Just 38 percent of those surveyed endorsed his approach.

I half expect him to suspend the constitution, dissolve congress, and the supreme court, then declare himself pResident for life instead.

Very depressing. I feel very sad for this country. Actual American citizens have no say from here on out. It has been taken from us.

It’s being done in the “court” of Hollywood because they DO support him. He NEEDS the fanfare and can get it no other place. It’s safe for him there....just as His trip to the Desert to hide among Reids people.

He cannot do this from Washington because he has too many there that are enemies against him now. And who runs Hollywood and Vegas....???

So he’s padding himself with safe venues to springboard this announcement from.

That’s going to leave a mark.

I don’t remember any other president ever before being denied air time by the major networks for a major policy speech.

Well...all I can say is the low end voters have the say anymore...as we see playing out...and the foreign people that have been brought in our country.

We do not have a ‘UNITED’ States of America...we have a nation being invaded.....planned and funded for....in order to “Transform” it to something it isn’t and never was...to “something” else otherwise .

BTW They arrested another guy at the White House...with guns and ammo in his car...he said someone told him to go to Washington from the Carolina’s ..so he did...armed and ready!!

“the media are the enemy of the American people”

I agree, but the American people are their own enemies. The information is available about what is happening to their country...but Thursday night football and the Big Bang is more important.

I don't listen to Barry's propaganda as a rule. But I will grit my teeth tomorrow night.
