President Obama To John Boehner: F**k Your Lawsuit

On the heels of House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) decision to file a lawsuit against President Obama for Presidenting While Black, the President announced this afternoon that he will take any and all executive actions he can in order to fix our immigration system. In a fifteen-minute Rose Garden address, Obama lashed out at Republicans in the House who have obstructed comprehensive immigration reform, while praising those in the House and Senate who have shown willingness to compromise. Then, he dropped the E-bomb.

“…there are others in the Republican caucus and the House who are arguing they cannot act because they’re mad at me about using my executive authority too broadly,” the President said, a fairly direct reference to Boehner’s lawsuit, adding, “This also makes no sense. I do not prefer taking administrative action. I would rather see permanent fixes to the issue we face.”

But then, the President broadened the scope of his argument somewhat, adding that not only is this true of immigration, but also the minimum wage and equal pay. “There are whole bunch of things where I would greatly prefer Congress actually do something,” he said. “I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and Congress chooses to do nothing.”

Returning to immigration and the current crisis around unaccompanied children being apprehended at the border, the President said, “America cannot wait forever for them to act. That is why today, I am beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress.”

Obama announced several steps, including a review, by Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, of “additional actions my administration can take, within my existing legal authorities, to do what Congress refuses to do, and fix as much of the immigration system as I can.”

“I expect a recommendation before the end of the summer,” he continued, and added “I intend to adopt the recommendations without further delay.”

Then, he dropped the mic, and walked the fuck off, while Joe Biden kicked the podium over on its side. Or, at least, they should have. Here are the President’s full remarks…READ MORE
