Nobody is This Dumb
So, we've got one state with new laws to strengthen the border, laws which repeated surveys show a majority of Americans support. There are many states considering similar legislation. It's my understanding a majority of Americans want stronger enforcement against illegals. So, naturally, the latest trial balloon from this administration involves Obama granting amnesty to illegal aliens via executive order. That's right, folks, rumor has it he's mulling over turning thousands of illegals into citizens by doing an end-run around Congress, flagrantly trouncing what most of the nation wants. Every time I think this administration can't get any more cynical or out-of-touch, they go and prove me wrong again.
I was no big fan of Clinton, but I did admire how deft he was as a politician. Obama is quite obviously no Bill Clinton. If he really does take a stab at this before November, I think a Republican supermajority in both the House and the Senate is a real possibility. And it will be none to soon, as far as I'm concerned.
The only thing that gives me any hope is the November elections when we will have republican majority in congress. Then some people, me included, would worked to have him tossed out on his ear. If the oil is still gushing in the gulf, I really think he will be kicked out of office.

Now, for the matter at hand - this is exactly one of the things the leftists complained like hell about Bush doing. Executive Orders to end around the process. Called it illegal, immoral, called for impeachment, etc. I'm going to be very interested in hearing their response if he tries this.
