JAKE MILLER November 22, 2014 Obama: Immigration Fight Can't Be "Dealbreaker"
In the face of fierce Republican blowback, President Obama continued defending his recent executive action on immigration in his weekly address Saturday, warning Republicans not to paralyze the government simply because they object to one part of his agenda.
"We can't allow a disagreement over a single issue to be a dealbreaker on every issue," Mr. Obama said in the address, which was taped Friday during the president's trip to Las Vegas. "That's not how our democracy works. This debate deserves more than politics as usual."
Conservatives have accused the president of grossly overstepping the bounds of his authority with the action, which will shield roughly 5 million undocumented immigrants living in the country from the threat of deportation and authorize them to live and work legally in the United States for at least three years. Some Republican lawmakers have pushed their leaders to strip funding for new green cards and visas in a spending bill that must pass Congress by mid-December to prevent a government shutdown.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, have lodged stiff objections to Mr. Obama's policy changes, vowing a swift response when the new Congress convenes in January, but they've not yet indicated what actions they will take.
Of course, goading Congress into action on immigration is exactly what the president hoped to accomplish by acting unilaterally.
"As you might have heard, there are members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better," he said in his address. "Well, I have one answer for that: Pass a bill. The day I sign it into law, the actions I've taken to help solve this problem will no longer be necessary."

“We can’t allow a disagreement over a single issue to be a dealbreaker on every issue,”
YES WE CAN!!!
Democracy doesn't work via executive fiat either. FUBO.
What’s one more act of treason at this point?
The Congress-pussies have done nothing to relieve the country of the burden of a rogue Marxist president.
It is truly sad to watch this guy run roughshod over the Republicans.
The Newt and the Republicans effectively shut Clinton out...until the Oklahoma City bombing. If it weren't for the bombing, Clinton would have been a one-termer.
Pass a rider in the lame duck. Let Obama shut the government down again.
It’s not the issue per se. It’s the lawlessness. The flagrant violations of the Constitution. It’s the endless chain of high crimes, misdemeanors and outright treason perpetrated by the president and his administration.
The President ripped up the Constitution and now he says he wants to work with the GOP.
He can’t have it both ways.
Yes - he can because in his mind he is the ObaMessiah.
We have bills that were passed and signed into law. For this Communist to claim there are no bills is just him lying again. Obama is a liar. Congress must hold this liar accountable or else they face being held accountable themselves.
This allows Republicans breathing room to work on other issues.
1 Why not?
2 Says who?
3 FU
Obama is pushing Congress to pass a bill before January 2014, after that date, the Senate controlled by the GOP can pass a bill which he will surely veto...
He doesn't want to become the POTUS of "NO"
He knows it will never pass before then unless the GOP capitulate to the Democrat controlled Senate demands...
He's goading them into action...
Obama is not a deal maker. So the term ‘deal breaker’ is not applicable here.

The Rep’s should have called out this prick long ago. They know he’s bogus and was not properly vetted. Yet not one has the integrity to protest his election in the Senate. We are where we are because of inaction by the republicans..
Another thing..it is interesting that the EO runs for “3 years”..perfect timing..he leaves in two, his successor can run on the fact that the EO will be extended, (Win) or the Republican can run on the fact that he will terminate the EO, (Lose)...end of country.
Si se puede!
“YES WE CAN!!!”
Si se pueda...chupa mi pinga.
FU Barry.

What blowback????....all I see is the winds of words....same o' same o' and no action. These two just take it in stride...they see it as just wind
