Obama: Politics shifted on immigration

President Obama said "politics did shift midsummer" because of the ongoing border crisis, forcing him to delay any executive action on immigration until after the midterm elections.

"The truth of the matter is-- is that the politics did shift midsummer because" of the "surge in kids who were showing up at the border, got a lot of attention," Obama said in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, which is set to air Sunday.

Obama's comments come after the White House announced that the president decided against taking action "soon" on immigration, citing the "political season" and "Republican's extreme politicization of the issue." "I want to spend some time, even as we're getting all our ducks in a row for the executive action, I also want to make sure that the public understands why we're doing this, why it's the right thing for the American people, why it's the right thing for the American economy," Obama said in the interview.

When pressed on the politics behind his move, Obama said it wasn't because he wants Democrats to maintain control of the Senate.

"That's not the reason," Obama said.

He stressed that the move to postpone action is to make sure that once he does "it's sustainable.

"It's going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what we've done on unaccompanied children, and why it's necessary," he said.

Reiterating his reasoning, Obama said that while Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, has "laid the groundwork" with "preliminary ideas" for action, but he wants to make sure "we get this right."

Obama's renegging on his promise to illegals (cackle). The stupid just found out voters would have a big say in that. The ding-a-ling is trying to save his ***......and the ***** of desperate Dummycrats.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE McPain to GOP: If You Want to Beat Hillary, Pass Immigration Reform ...

Lets not forget: then-Sen Hillary--the 2008 presidential candidate---was
one of the first to call for licenses for illegals---alongside "crotch king"
--- then-Gov Eliot Spitzer.

Oh, I almost forgot--Hillary lost the primary (cackle).

=====================================================

Boobamba's Famous Last Words: "If Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours," noting he had a phone and a pen for the job.

(Voters told Obama where he can stick that phone and pen).

==========================================

Vote-crazed Obama bas been reduced to being a Third World flunky.....setting up the USA big time.....doing the bidding of the barbarians in exchange for votes.

Obama's lips are pressed firmly on the Turd World behind. Money is changing hands sub rosa....foreign aid, extortion, kickbacks, money-laundering are in the mix.

Obama's actions speak louder than words----the wholesale collusion and conspiring w/ the Turd World to facilitate the overthrow of the US govt:

<><>sending them our tax dollars and resources to help violate our 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 these illegals present to US ntl security, and implement US laws accordingly.

<><><>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.

"That's not the reason," Obama said.

Translation: That's the reason.

8/13/14 -- NRO.online.com -- Sen Jeff Sessions Warns of ‘Chilling’ Obama Immigration Plotting / By Joel Gehrke Sen Sessions (Rep-Ala.) called for Americans to pressure their senators to vote against Obama’s expected executive orders on immigration, which Sessions described as a “chilling” plot with activists to undermine national laws (and US national security).

“Open-borders groups have grown bolder and louder in their unlawful demands, launching a campaign for the president to ‘go big,’ and demanding that he ‘stand up’ to Congress and ‘expand DACA,’” he added, citing an AP report that administration officials were meeting with immigration activists, and the Chamber of Commerce. “It is chilling to consider now that these groups, frustrated in their aims by our Constitutional system of government, are plotting with the Obama administration to collect their spoils through executive fiat,” he said.

“The steps that must be taken are clear: the Senate must vote on the House-passed measure to stop these unlawful actions. It is true that Majority Leader Reid is blocking it from a vote. But Reid acts only with the blessing of his members in the Democrat conference — so the American people have the power to force it to a vote through their elected senators,” Sessions said. “That begins with asking a simple question: Where do your senators stand?”

No one in Washington has the courage to try to undue the damage Obama has done, and we’ll be stuck with 5 million voting Democrats, citizens or not. That’s why the D’s are fighting voter ID laws.

[jazusamo]

Yes, “Where do our senators stand?” Great question by Jeff Sessions.

Another question is why do our elected leaders in Congress put up with a president and his administration that not only meet with anti-American activists but carry water for them.

Pathetic!

"The truth of the matter is-- is that the politics did shift midsummer because" of the "surge in kids who were showing up at the border, got a lot of attention,"

The pro-amnesty groups got cocky and started demanding. Americans weren't about to be shamed/blackmailed into letting foreigners steal their stuff.

[Mike Darancette]

After the election he’ll grant his amnesty and no one will stop him.

Obama has nothing to gain in doing so. An ensuing government shutdown would further damage the Democrats.

Obama said "politics did shift midsummer"

I'm telling ya, Obama hates the three Cs:

1. (classical) Christianity

2. (original intent of the) Constitution

3. (free market) Capitalism

He admits openly his decision is due to politics, not principle. And he will continue to wage war on the above three Cs.

I see. It isn't his fault that he is a weasel and a snake.

[Gay State Conservative]

Translation:it’s been made clear to him that the Rats will be absolutely destroyed if he does it *before* November.

[Bigg Red]

So, according to the President, if they invade surreptitiously and don’t get news coverage, that is ok.

***
Well, yeah. Somebody’s got to affect that fundamental change, ya’ know?

[subterfuge]

Nice catch. He basically admitted he is delaying his executive order because of the pressure and the “attention. “ He is a big fat stupid liar and you caught him in it. Well done!

[paguch]

He is not feeling heat. He is still enforcing an open border allowing terrorists free and easy entry. The terrorists control our southern border and No politician or military leader will put a stop to it.

[Signalman]

After the election he’ll grant his amnesty and no one will stop him.

Which is what the GOP needs to keep putting out, until election day.

[subterfuge]

How do senators “vote against” an executive order?

[paguch]

The Democrat Party is what we should be looking at. They are the reason Obama can violate the Constitution and open our borders to terrorists and criminals. Quit talking about what Obama is doing and look at the power he is granted by the protection of the US Senate
If we want a country that is free we must remove every Senator in the next election who is Democrat.

[subterfuge]

Um..he has a lot gain. It will hurt America and we all know he hates America.

[iowacornman]

For the liberals , I want each of you to suck wind as you realize obama flinched real bad. HE ADMITS IT IS NOT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE to let these illegals and ISIS in our country. If he had done that the Sheeple would vote republicrat but because he doesn’t— Demorats HOLD the Senate. Damned the Sheeple.
