President Obama let his frustration over the stalled debt talks seep into an address on Latino issues on Monday, confessing that he’d like to “bypass Congress and change the laws on my own.”
He told the National Council of La Raza, “Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.”
But he told the group meeting at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel that he has to work with Congress and will continue to fight for what he called a “balanced” plan that does not focus solely on spending cuts but that spreads the sacrifice to the wealthiest Americans as well.
La Raza—and activist Latinos elsewhere—are disappointed in the president for not keeping his promise to champion comprehensive immigration reform in his first year in office. They are particularly angry that his administration has been aggressive in deporting undocumented immigrants, but the president defended the record number of deportations, contending he has had no choice.
“Those are the laws on the books,” said Obama. “I swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books. That doesn’t mean I don’t know very well the real pain and heartbreak that deportations cause.”
He added that he shares the concerns of Latinos. “I understand them and I promise you we are responding to your concerns and working every day to make sure we are enforcing flawed laws in the most humane and best possible way.”
His ''I'd like to change'' comment followed a section in his speech that mentioned the limitations of Washington in stopping deportations. He then spoke of his frustrations in dealing with Congress. His ''bypass Congress'' comment drew applause and chants of "Yes, You Can," a 2008 campaign slogan.
“I’d Like ‘to Bypass Congress and Change the Rules on My Own’”
Coming out of any other past President’s mouth, this statement would have simply been a “voicing of their frustration.” Coming out of Obama’s mouth, it almost seems prophetic. Very frightening.
I’m SURE this will be the lead ‘headline’ on all the major TV network news-casts tonight.
“President says he is ‘tempted’ to become dictator”.
...or at any rate, it WOULD have been the lead story on all the major TV network news-casts if George W. Bush had EVER uttered anything that could have been even remotely interpreted to ‘mean’ what Mr. Obama stated in clear English.
Reminds me of Mussolini....................
So he doesn't give a shit about WHAT he says, as long as America is destroyed from within.
THAT is the delicious reality they seek ...
We act like a third world, eighth century society and eat/kill ourselves.
Mr ozero .... ain' gonna' happen
Put down the crack pipe, Barack.
This is what happens...we push this POS anti-American scum and he starts telling the truth of how he really wants to run the government. FUBO!
He’s tempted to bypass Congress, and run the country on his own?
Well, Mr. Castro- Stalin- Chavez wannabe, I’d advise you not to give into that temptation, because that’s called high crimes and misdemenors.
“El Douche”
I love it!
“Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.”
What a fascistic assertion. Totally outrageous. Anyone paying attention should be alarmed by a remark like this from a sitting pResident.
ARTICLE 25 his ass!
In your guts, you know he's nuts!
Is it just me, or did he go exceptionally out of his way to avoid saying, the "Constitution?"
How about bypassing the American people?
BenitObama
He ould like to be dictator, but that problematic piece of paper the Constitution, FOX News, and Talk Radio, not to mention forums like this, keep getting in his way.
here come an executive order, as BJ Clinton said “stroke of the pen, law of the land”, Jug Ears will claim he had to do it to save the country from a default...
