Obama amnesty announcement Friday

Barry and Harry go to Vegas.

Quote:
President Barack Obama will announce his unilateral amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants on Friday at a mostly Latino high school in Las Vegas.

Del Sol High School will provide him with a cheering crowd because 58 percent of the students are Latino. The location will also aid his ally, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who faces a tough election in 2016, and who needs the support of Latino-dominated unions in the city.

Dark day for America.
Two of the biggest ASSES in American history, both soundly REJECTED the American voters, planning to spit on our constitution and election system by doing what the people do not want them to do.

We must removes this piece of garbage from office. Impeachment is now the #1 priority.

Was it the first or second time he easily won election that Obama was soundly rejected?

remember a few years ago when Obama said that he's not a dictator and therefore could not act unilaterally on immigration, or when he was a senator and said that this type of amnesty would harm American workers?
Good times...good times.

The only "success" of his presidency is ObamaCare, which seems highly likely to be put out of its misery by the Supreme Court next year. If they don't pull the plug on it, it will eventually collapse under its own weight.

This amnesty plan looks like the farewell gesture of a president ready to further withdraw from reality and spend the next two years making speeches and playing golf. He didn't get his way, so he is giving the voters and Congress the big finger with amnesty and preparing to ride off into the sunset.

Obama repeatedly said that his policies were on the ballot...

I'm pretty sure the Nov 4th shellacking was basically the public snapping his pencil and cancelling his phone service.

The Washington Post is now reporting that the basic announcement will be made Thursday night in a prime time address, and the Friday speech in Vegas will lay out the program in more detail.

What's the over/under on the percentage of the people standing behind Obama on Friday that are Latino?

The public likes the president a helluva lot more than it likes Congress.

These guys give a good name to the term coup d'ι·tat.

Obama is slowly climbing my list of possible anti-Christ candidates. He's rapidly closing in on George Soros and Richard Pearle who usually vie for the #2 spot.

Or he may exit... back and to the left. He's spent more money then all previous Presidents combined and done more harm then all enemies faced.


Truly a Traitorous POS... to the US of A.

And the public likes the Republicans in Congress a helluva lot more than it likes the Democrats.

Which only shows that the public pretty much doesn't like anybody in politics these days. Which makes them a lot smarter than Gruber and Obama gave them credit for.

Alas, as much as I wish that was true it is not.

As for a "tough election" in 2016, AFAIK the Republicans in NV have not yet come up with a reasonable candidate to run against him.

Last time: Sharon Angle was a complete joke. She couldn't even carry the Republican vote!

In a 2013 article she said she might run again.

If you believe in an anti-Christ, you have to believe that he would be a lot more competent and effective than Obama.

Imagine the condition of the country today if Obama had been an effective leader, able to accomplish even a portion of his goals.

Almost without question he is a treasonous. He does not think in terms of what's best for the US or what the American people want. He thinks in terms of advancing a kind of globalist socialist view where the interests of America are secondary to the needs/desires of others and creating his own vision by any means necessary.

There's a role for that kind of thing, but if you are president of the US and advocate and move in that direction you should be in prison.
