In an effort to answer the question, “How does a President become this blatantly tyrannical?” I looked at the entire exchange between what has been held up as Obama’s big flip/flop on his exectutive power. Using an executive order to deem what he wishes a DREAM Act to look like, and then passed it with scepter in hand, Obama has implemented it with a stroke of his pen. A latino website describes the exchange between Obama and an illegal.
Karen Maldonado, an undocumented student holding up a deportation letter asked, “My question for the president is why are we still receiving deportation letters like this one?”
Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos, who was moderating the event, asked Obama if he could sign an executive order preventing the deportations.
(The girl’s name could have been Maltinado, according to other sources.)
What Obama told Jorge and Karen then was that he couldn’t do it on his own.
Obama said, “With respect to the notion I can suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.”
The article, posted by Jon Garrido, is a scathing rebuke of Obama’s reply, calling his treatment of latino youth, a “shell game.”
Another site described the exchange thusly:
He turned back a plea from one questioner to grant a special protected status to students who are in the country illegally in order to prevent them from getting deported. Obama said it wouldn’t be appropriate because that status has traditionally been reserved for immigrants fleeing persecution or disaster.
Yet another site described the exchange:
He added that the majority of Democrats voted for the DREAM Act, “but we need a little bit of help from the other side.” The president did not mention the Republican Party during the program.
Still he admitted that “America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the President, am obligated to enforce the law. I don’t have a choice about that. That’s part of my job. But I can advocate for changes in the law so that we have a country that is both respectful of the law but also continues to be a great nation of immigrants. And the DREAM Act is a perfect example of a law that can help fix this.”

It seems ridiculous for the average American to accept that the President of the United States would pander to those who are not citizens, but since Hart-Cellar, chain migration has been the policy of the US, therefore, young illegals are allowed to come into the US, get an education, and now, given amnesty.

Bottom line is that this despotic SOB has to be removed through the voting process or through impeachment. Should we lose the election but gain Senate control then I think all bets are off because this pissed off executive will go into high gear, not only using executive orders but empowering every bureaucracy with left leaning control freaks. Remember these agencies do not get sufficient oversight even by republicans and if they are cut loose and/or placed under the supervision of autocratic Czars you could flip this country on its back in no time. Basically every Constitutional principle becomes meaningless. This is what Obama knows best and he will not have the slightest hesitation to move in this direction. He is already laying the groundwork. Republicans had better prepare themselves for a historic impeachment battle that will bring the financial markets to its knees and divide the country like it never has been since 1860. But if they don't I can think of several socialistic alternative countries to move to which will provide more opportunity to experience prosperity and yes, even freedom, than what America will become.
The last SCOTUS decision unnerved me but what unnerved me even more is the outright exclamation by the President that he will not uphold the law. I remember Attorney General John Ashcroft, a firm pro lifer that clearly supported a resolute stance to support Roe vs. Wade because it was the law of the land. Notice the new talking points that argue a lack off federal resources undermine the decision of the POTUS to reduce (abandon) deportation. That is exactly why the feds are supposed to use state and local resources in a combined manner for just about anything they do. Disgusting!!!
