Obama: “I just took an action to change the law”

[Wilikon]

Isn’t this an admission against interest? Barack Obama has spent the past several days insisting that his changes in enforcement of immigration law and regulation is entirely constitutional, since it doesn’t actually change or conflict with statute. It only took a heckler in a crowd last night to get Obama to brag that he “changed the law” — a process which the supposed Constitutional law scholar would know is impossible without Congress:


“Don’t just start yelling, young ladies,” Obama said as multiple women stood up to demand that Obama stop deporting people.

“I let you holler,” he said as they continued shouting. “You’ve got to listen to me too.”

Obama said that the protesters were right about a lot of illegal immigrants getting deported but that he was acting to change it.

“What you’re not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law,” Obama said.

"You have been deporting families," a heckler yelled. The president urged the demonstrator to stop shouting before he fired back.

"What you're not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law, so that's point No. 1," Obama said, his words echoing to 1,000 attendees. "Point No. 2, the way the change in the law works is that we're reprioritizing how we enforce our immigration laws generally."

This whole thing just irritates the crap out of me. America can't foot the bill for the poorest people that are here from the southern hemisphere when we have plenty of the natives that are on terrible financial footing thx to the government and the Fed.

The media knows that comparing Obama to Nixon is a sign of distaste and loathing of which the only equal is comparing Obama to Hoover (another Republican blamed by Democrats for everything under the sun). Yet Obama said, essentially, what Nixon said: “If the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.” Where’s the media hatred towards the authoritarian, ignorant Obama who sounds no better than Nixon and performs no better than Hoover. Bias is the answer; projected bias.

Don't forget the media has been gang rapped by the 0bama administration harder and longer than any other administrations in the past, and they still cover for him...
