What Odumbo finds offensive is any article in the Constitution that grants powers to anyone except himself and this includes the PEOPLE and the STATES. Petty dictator wanna be but incompetent.

Its funny that before Obama announced this executive order, his government had been deporting people at a record rate.



One could as a matter of principle think that deporting illegal aliens is a good thing to do, or one could as a matter of principle be against it, at least for aliens who (other than their illegal entry, or staying past the end of their allowed stay) have committed no crimes.

But Obama goes from pushing the number to record levels, to announcing his own policy (without changes in the law) stopping deportations. It seems to me to be an obvious case where its not principle on either side, but pure electoral calculation.
