Mr. Obama has said he would veto it - even after saying it was the problem.

A lot of people have wanted to point fingers about the problem. Now you have a good target. The tea baggers and the people who elected them now bear all of the responsibility for this mess and nothing will happen to help for another 5 weeks.

You thought up all of that gobbledy-**** on your own? Impressive.

Given the fact Obama has no plan at all and merely sat on his hands for the first 6 months of the year makes him the first target for finger pointing. He will be in Martha's Vineyard with his elite buddies and will sign off on countless EOs in an attempt to take care of things his way...illegally. How is congress to act when the POTUS is a fitful and petulant man child who has yet to preside? He has no concept of the facts and is no leader of this nation. He is a rabble rousing community organizer who should never been shown the light of day. I might hope he takes a boat ride and the ship sinks but that leaves Hairplug Joe as the most lameduck POTUS in recorded history. Who wants to listen to a drunken version of BHO?

Hopefully he will continue to sit on his hands but that is unlikely. He will most likely make extremely biased temporary appointments to pass his agenda. Go ahead and do some more unconstitutional stuff, Barry.

Left wing nut jobs are already dancing about as Hare Krishna zombies.

That's why this died so quick. That was the expedited deportation language the Repubs would have added to Obama's emergency request.

That would be a 180° She reversed her position.

A 360° is just a full circle, though I can imagine Pelosi doing 360s down the halls of Congress as she tries to figure out where her office is.


They keep telling her it's on Cannon Hob...

The tea baggers were not. They're to blame at this point. Far be it for those idiots to actually do their job. To be clear, I'm not bashing the right, just the tea party idiots. Plenty of them only pretend to be conservative.
No they aren't. Obama had already said he isn't deporting anybody.

Most have known it was a misleading post from the get-go, however, my post was to prove that the left and people such as you will only call out people they disagree with, and as you can see, page after page of me asking for people such as you and others to call out anyone else, THAT has NOT happened.

Again, thanks for proving my point and letting other say just as misleading as mine, yet they have not been called out...

Bravo!

Keep the blinders on!

The threat, issued in an official statement of policy, puts Mr. Obama at odds with even some Democrats who say changes are needed to a 2008 law granting Central American children a long judicial process before they can be deported. Mr. Obama himself called for changes to the 2008 law earlier this month, but has since backed away under intense political pressure from immigrant rights groups.

Right after that good ole Harry had a "closed door" luncheon with his fellow Democrats.

They are all on the same page now.."No changes to the 2008 bill".

Those kids are living better than they ever have even in those detention centers.

Who is paying for all this largesse? When was the money appropriated by Congress?
