Not really, he's acted out of a sense of SELF, nothing more, nothing less. If he thinks it's good for his legacy he's all in.

All hail King Obama!

There isn't a single politician who doesn't act out of self interest. Don't act like Obama is doing something that is unheard of. Everyone does it. But you can't POSSIBLY be negative toward the party you voted for. That would be insane!

>>>> I think he's simply done the bidding of those who control and own him, measured with a self serving narcissism. I don't think he cares about anybody but himself, honestly.
But the republican politicians aren't much better since they're ultimately getting the same orders from the same people. They just have to put up more of a front and don't have the freedom to openly defy their supporters quite so much. The democrats...they are quicker to forgive and overlook failure to act in their best interests as long as they're promised something. Let's just say democrat voters can be bought off a little more cheaply than republicans.

If you believe what you wrote here, well, you are deep in the illusion.

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 — its full name was Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348) — was a bill discussed in the 110th United States Congress that would have provided legal status and a path to citizenship for the approximately 12 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States. The bill was portrayed as a compromise between providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and increased border enforcement: it included funding for 300 miles (480 km) of vehicle barriers, 105 camera and radar towers, and 20,000 more Border Patrol agents, while simultaneously restructuring visa criteria around high-skilled workers.

Who wanted this????


The bill's sole sponsor in the Senate was Majority Leader Harry Reid, though it was crafted in large part as a result of efforts by Senators Kennedy, McCain and Kyl, along with Senator Lindsey Graham, and input from President George W. Bush, who strongly supported the bill.

Right now we have proof how on tax payers money the man calling the voters stupid and disclosing how the stupid Obama voters were all fooled as he is telling and Nancy Pelosi telling in public lying about something she admitted a few years back....how can anyone let this all happen!

It seems they are getting away with it and right now we have again seen an illegal killing two women in a hit and run and another illegal hitting and killing a 3 year old as if breaking the law coming here wasn't bad enough.

The USA has it own Monarch...a King!

Two more years of the King ruling the country and the people being subjects!

1) Kings are not elected. President Obama was elected by a majority vote, twice
2) The "King" title has to be inherited. President Obama is not related to anyone who ever served as President.
3) A President can issue an Executive Order. It is mentioned in our Constitution.

If you don't agree with amnesty and the position he took regarding illegal immigrants, just say so. However, calling him "King" is quite stupid.
