President Obama doubles down on Executive action

Bravo, Mr. President.

And nice sticking it to Congress and Boner.

More info: The president is planning to move interior assets to the border to try to ease the situation with immigration since Congress won't do anything. He said: "And, I'll do it without Congress."

I will post video as soon as someone gets it out.

This is not at all helpful. Couldn't you at least post a few words about what he said? After all, you heard it.

40 minutes ago.

I did put a few words about what he said in my OP, right after you complained about 2/3 hour ago.

Why not put those words in there when you first posted? Your original post was completely devoid of content and we learned nothing from it.

In my case, I posted an emotional reaction to the president kicking Congress in the nut sack. Then, I began rewinding my DVR to either develop a short synopsis or to transcribe what he said. I chose a short synopsis (after you complained, but not because you complained) instead of transcribing because I had to take a phone call and once the call ended, it was obvious no one that actually saw the president's remarks, and whom would know to what I was referring, apparently cared enough to comment. So, I went back to my work at about the same time MSNBC began replaying the president's remarks and since I had already posted a link to HuffPo, who would have the video as soon as they could turn it around, I've pretty much left it as is. And even with the additional information and link, most of the replies are criticisms of me or my posting style, rather than a discussion of how Obama just kicked Boner and Congress in the family jewels.

whether it be in court or Congress. He has tried every which way to get Congress to work, but they insist on sticking to their pledge to make Obama the worst president in history. Of course, they should be ashamed of themselves, but we know that isn't going to happen. They should at least earn their money, but that's a joke for another day. So, what can Obama do? Force their hand.

I hope the Republicans learn pretty soon that Obama is heads above them when it comes to intelligence and common sense. They can't project far enough ahead to figure out what Obama's next chess move is. In the meantime, our country goes down the tube because of their idiotic schemes and childish tantrums.
