Obama seeks to circumvent Congress

The Obama administration, unable to push an immigration overhaul through Congress, is considering ways it could go around lawmakers to let undocumented immigrants stay in the United States, according to an agency memo.

Administration weighs skirting Congress on immigration

Civics

Some review information if its been a while since you had civics class.

Under the US Constitution, which is the organizational plan for power in the US government:

1. Congress makes the laws of the Federal Government.

2. The President executes the law of the land, as those laws are made by Congress. (Being a prominent citizen, the President may propose making of law. Presidential advice is often made into law)

3. Federal Courts determine consistency of federal law with historical law and compliance to the US Constitution, as written.

Illegal move, Mr Obama

By seeking to circumvent the Congress' law-making function, Mr Obama's Administration directly seeks to undermine the Constitutional separation of power. This can no longer be called "administration" of the law under the Constitution. Mr Obama seems to be acting more like a dictator.

Thus it is necessary to remove Mr Obama from the Presidency. Mr Obama, you must be arrested for plotting overthrow of our democracy and free Republic. Congress, your task is clear: Impeach him; Try him; Convict him; Expel him; Imprison him.

Look beneath the covers.

It appears Mr Obama is trying to provoke some sort of nationalist backlash against foreigners. This would give him a new class of people to "protect." You can just hear the gooey sentimentalism about victimized foreigners only seeking a better life. (No mention of the fact those foreigners are all law breakers).

Leftist ideology is built on the idea of victim classes versus a victimizer class. Mr Obama hates Americans most; he views Americans as victimizers. So any policy he promulgates will seek to damage Americans. The fact that Mr Obama seeks to circumvent Congress and simultaneously enhance his personal power shows how well he can create an opportunity for his own self-advancement.

Self-advancement? Personal power? How else can it be the "peace" candidate (remember that all our troops were to be out of Iraq in 12 months) has the started another, more serious war, in Afghanistan? (more below)

Mr Obama's sole lust is for personal power. He fits in well with like-minded power seekers inside the Washington DC beltway. But Mr Obama cannot be trusted. He is far too crafty. The only reason he has any support among the American people is that half are below normal.

Implications for Afghanistan

Things are getting worse in Afghanistan. This has been the worst month for American combat deaths since we entered the country. Is the victory in Afghanistan going to be worth it? Certainly, if it can be had. Mr Bush had already pretty much secured that victory during his tenure, and the Afghan countryside was calmed.

Remember that as soon as Mr Obama was elected, he started trying to bully Afghan President Hamid Karzai into seeking peace talks with the Taliban. Taliban correctly interpreted this as a sign of weakness in the Karzai government, what with the apparent loss of support of the Americans. So Taliban geared up for round two.

This required response from Washington. At first, in master stroke of stupidity or craftiness, Mr Obama chided Mr Karzai for the uptick in fighting. Now the Americans find themselves embroiled in a deepening struggle between the Afghan people, their Taliban oppressors and a growing popular Afghan impression that Mr Karzai is merely a puppet ruler for foreign influences.

Meanwhile, Mr Obama enjoys traditional American support for the President, whoever he is, during wartime. So far, Mr Obama has gotten a pass for botching America into the elevated fighting.

Putting down terrorism can be done if we have the proper commander in chief. But that is not Mr Obama's intent. He just needed a war so the American people would be more likely to support him. You can expect Mr Obama to find ways to waste American lives in order to stay in power.

You see, Mr Obama will do anything for personal power. He is that evil.

Immigration Reform and Debt Dumbness

"In sum, the system is broken. And everybody knows it. Unfortunately, [comprehensive immigration] reform has been held hostage to political posturing and special-interest wrangling -– and to the pervasive sentiment in Washington that tackling such a thorny and emotional issue is inherently bad politics."

B. H. Obama, 4/1/2010

Fact:
Comprehensive immigration reform is Government code for amnesty for illegals.

So what Mr Obama means is:
1- Unemployed American workers are a posturing special interest. They get in the way of legalizing the illegal aliens. 2 - I will not enforce current federal law which requires us to remove illegals.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, that's the truth.

~~~~~~~~

Debt distorts the decisions people make.

The Administration is launching a new effort to get approval for another "Stimulus" bill. They haven't finished committing or spending the old stimulus, but they want to stick their hands deeper into your pockets.

This will help the economy. Having everyone in debt up to the eyeballs is supposed to help? That's how we got here in the first place. This has always been the problem with the Democrats; they can't cant tell when they've gone over budget and spent mroe than we can afford. They always prattle some nonsense about feeding the poor or jumpstarting the economy when their actions are starving the poor and strangling the economy.

Write your Senators and Representative. Tell 'em no more spending.

Then things will start getting better.

Arizona Immigation Laws (& the Left cries racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist! racist!)

Arizona enacted policy to address illegal immigration. Eric Holder threatened legal action to block the law. Broccoli Obama said the law threatened "to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe." Insignificant parts of of Southern California will boycott Arizona for racism.

Oh, brother.

The new Arizona law restates, often in verbatim, existing federal law. Here's the preamble of Arizona SB1070:

“The [Arizona State] legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona. The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.”

See whole text of the law at http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070h.pdf Reading it, the law is a statement the state will make illegals caught in AZ (usually doing a drug smuggling crime) available to ICE for processing.

Arizona has a big problem with illegal drug importation along their southern border, also the southern US border. The violence these drug smugglers bring with them is principally what Arizona seeks to treat. Naturally, Mr Obama would rather sacrifice innocent American lives instead of securing the national boundary. This morning (5/21/10), on CNBC, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that they will not support Arizona Law. Arizona's co-operation with the feds will not be reciprocal.

"I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," John Morton said. Morton heads Mr Obama's version of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mr Obama and the rest of his crowd clearly want to change America. Part of that is to change American immigration law. Let us debate the matter openly and clearly. No more smoke filled backroom deals. But please Mr Obama, can we stick to the truth and not blather non-sense?

I think I'll call Mr Obama Broccoli Obama. It sounds kind of like his first name, it does not mean "blessed" (Barrack means "blessed" in Arabic), it reminds me that Mr O is really a vegetable that makes me want to gag, and my spell checker won't keep tripping over the name.
