President Obama Says He Will Announce Immigration Actions ‘Soon’
For his last question, though, the President addressed reports that he may put off executive action on immigration until after the midterms. For several weeks now, genius Democrats have been complaining that the President’s promised action on immigration could energize conservatives for the midterms, and asking him to delay. This will obviously be a help, because conservatives are pretty calm about it now. This is the same loser mentality that caused Democrats to be crushed in 2010, the idea that somehow, hiding their differences with Republicans would make them invisible to conservative voters. The premise is even dumber this time, because while they can’t possibly hide from the rabid anti-immigrant conservative base, selling out immigration will repel any and all gains they could hope to make with the Democratic base.
Earlier in the week, it sounded as though the White House might be taking this advice, from loser Democrats to a President who has won twice, to heart. White House Press Secretary Josh earnest flatly refused to comment on the timing of the announcement last Friday, but on Monday, seemed to be floating a trial balloon for delay:
There is the chance that it could be before the end of the summer, there is the chance that it could be after the summer.
At Friday’s presser, the President was asked about those concerns, and…READ MORE

Despite being a twice elected President, mostly thanks to blatantly incompetent Republican candidates, Obama still wants to have it both ways. Dems must stand up for principles that we share as citizens of the U.S., compassion and respect for the law. Let the Repubs fight against that come this election season.

Yep, I agree. Bush was a doofus! Because of his invading Iraq, the Middle East is unstable. Yes, Obama has been been a two term President, just like Bush, who cheated to obtain the Presidency, Obama didn’t.
If the American voter liked what Bush gave them, then McCain/Palin, Romney/Ryan would have been elected. But those morons lost, for a good reason: the GOP represent the 1%, not the 99-%. Romney’s comment about the 47% sealed his fate. McCain sealed his fate when he selected Palin. She’s not qualified to wipe my ass after I defects, let alone be a VP. And she has proven, sane people right.
Obama has to try to carry out the wishes of the winning side, not the loosing side, which is your side. What your side thinks, wants is irrelevant, you lost. If you don’t like being on the loosing side, I think you should pack up and go back to whatever country your ancestors immigrated here from, without papers, which makes you a DREAMER!!

You might want to attend a couple of remedial reading and spelling courses before you make comments.
