WASHINGTON — President Obama will speak to the nation in a prime-time address on Thursday, asserting his authority to provide legal status for up to five million undocumented immigrants, the White House said, and setting in motion an immediate confrontation with Republicans about the limits of a president’s executive powers.
In a video posted on the White House website Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Obama said that he would deliver the 8 p.m. speech from the White House to announce “steps that I can take to start fixing our broken immigration system.”
“Everybody agrees that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said in the video. “Unfortunately, Washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long. What I’m going to be laying out is things that I can do with my lawful authority as president to make the system work better even as I continue to work with Congress and encourage them to get a bipartisan, comprehensive bill that can solve the entire problem.”

EMPEROR OBAMA. HIS OWN WORDS. NEVER CALL HIM PRESIDENT AGAIN.
I’ll bet Barky will also ban flying the U.S. flag and the wearing of patriotic T-shirts because they will “offend” our new “U.S. citizens”.
What is broken about it? Is it the fact that the law is not being enforced? Is that it?
and...All U.S. citizens must learn Spanish!
******
So he is going ahead and do what he said he would do: Legalize 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 illegals who broke our immigration laws over and over by sneaking across our borders.
What a sick traitor to American citizens this Obama is.
God have mercy on us all, because The United States as we came to love will swiftly come to an end, and nobody knows what to do about it, except maybe march on Washington and arrest the traitor Obama.
I’m not sure they will be that aggressive.
He’s giving a briefing from the White House tomorrow and then going to a high school to give details.
When is he going to address his statement that he could not do any of this with his pen. Another lie from the Liar in Chief. But, they are what we have come to expect from this habitual lying liar, aren’t they.
IMPEACH AND INCARCERATE THE SOB.
Don’t worry. You’ll find out all about it right here which is EXACTLY where I’ll be tonight.
“unfortunately, Washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long.

This sounds like he is lowering rhetoric. He’s laying out what he can do. Unless he’s misspeaking he’s not saying he will detail what he is going to do. Can vs will.
The ferguson decision with the ensuing riots will be timed to cover any uproar that the amnesty announcement would have generated. The media will focus on the riot and completely ignore any comments from republicans...voila Obola wins.
I am seriously thinking about skipping the family Thanksgiving dinner because of this. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only times that I sit down with liberals. I did not chose my relatives. I think I would puke if 0bama’s ugly face appears on the TV and the liberals start their 0bama worship service in my presence. On Thanksgiving all that I want is good food and football. FUB0.
He has no such authority!!!
“Republicans will roll over ad do nothing.”
The Republicans will not do nothing as the will aid and abet Obama on Immigration Reform.
******
When posters here listen to traitor Obama, listen for the time he refers to his favorite phrase that he often uses when he makes a decision on an important/controversial subject like immigration reform:
He will say something like this, maybe say it several times:
"It was the right thing to do. It was the right thing to do", as if he prayed all night asking God what to do, and he was given some divine inspiration to make such a terrible decision.
What a bunch of crap. I hope that the American people condemn and jeer Obama the rest of his life for such traitorous action.
I was once very interested in abolishing the EPA, even going to the point of drafting legislation to accomplish that.
But the problem is, even if a future President revoked Nixon's executive order that created EPA, all the underlying statutes would remain on the books and any President would be bound to take care that those laws be faithfully executed. The creation of the EPA, in fact, was an economy move to eliminate duplication since ten or twelve Federal agencies were tripping over each other enforcing a whole slew of unconstitutional laws passed by Congress between 1946-1971.
Your hypothetical President Cruz would still be bound by:

Great - without the EPA, who will enforce them?
Not that they’ll be ignored - but who will enforce the things the EPA now enforces?
Did you notice that baraq and his media are now talking about 2 to 5 million illegals. What happened to the 11 million number? And it wasn’t that long ago, the media was using the number of 35 to 40 million.
Bet that actual number is 50 to 75 million.
The new demonrat voting block.
