The President made another shrewd move regarding immigration. When the cards showed he would not have control over any part of congress, he made his proclamation about immigration INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR LEGISLATION.
That put the Republicans in the situation where they need to finance homeland security, and part of that funding would also finance the proclomation made by Obama, and the Democrats use the filibuster to stop that.
Political gamesmanship again.
This President is a very smart man, as he proclaims at every turn, and he is. He was well schooled when teaching Alinsky and follows that doctrine to the letter. It, in his opinion, is his way or the highway. And he is a very good politician and knows how to play the game.
We just need to stop "playing the game" and somebody needs to act like a real statesman who really cares about this country.
Problem is, the President knows on this issue and he is NEVER going to reach out and talk....hasnt since he was elected and he will not.
My response to this post is to point out the post to which I am replying was molded and structured from the talking points of the left. They are very good at this and YES, they have the Republicans in a hole on this.
As the poster alludes to...a win for Democrats...a loss for good old USA !
