Obama is supposed to be speaking tonight. Let's bet, how many minutes into his speech will it take before Obama starts vehemently attacking Republicans. I say a generous 2 minutes.

What is your definition of "vehemently attacking"?

If he says "Congress has failed to act" that is not an attack, its a factual statement

Republicans have already written their canned responses.

...or how many minutes late he'll be. I'm going to say 18.

Accountability for Thee But Not for Me
Obama loves to hold the private sector / Republicans accountable. Himself? Not So much.

I just want to know what the OP's definition of "vehemently attacking" is.

I'm sure he'll bring up the fact that the Republican house hasn't acted on the bi-partisan bill from the Senate. That previous Presidents, two Republicans, have signed executive orders granting citizenship to some illegal immigrants.

I want a law to reform the immigration system, not a EO, but congress seems unwilling to pass one due to pressure from some of their base voters.

How am I not holding the President accountable? I'm holding all parties accountable.

Is Obama going to say the Democrats failed to act from 2008-2010 when they held the Senate and the House?

Nope. He's an insignificant and irrelevant narcissist. Nobody cares what he says anymore. His EO will be invalidated in two years anyway, regardless of who wins the Presidency.

That's assuming the Supreme Court doesn't invalidate it before then.

Has the President not pushed, asked, even begged for immigration reform?

Boehner: Immigration reform stalls because GOP has

The Speaker and the President came to a deal on immigration. The Speaker took it to the house, but his TEA party members shot it down. So the Senate passed a bill, supported with Republicans in the Senate, and sent it to the house, which has sat on the Speakers desk without any action.

I'd say the President has at least tried.

Only factual because Harry the idiot Reid would not put any bills in front of the Senate for votes. Get your facts straight before parroting the progressives.
