An Inconvenient Truth (with apologies to the Goracle)

Until the death of Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy on 25-AUG-2009 (may he rest in peace) the Democrats had a filibuster-proof super-majority.  They had both houses of Congress, the House and the Senate.  They had the Executive branch as well (ie; the President who has campaigned, played golf, took vacations, played more golf, took more vacations, squandered our money on ‘green energy’ fiascos such as Solyndra(*) (and, as it turns out 11 others!!!) (oh, and Standard and Poors gave Beacon Power (another green energy company) a CCC+ rating, which is a bad junk bond that has a 70% chance of failure.))

But the point is that during the time that the Democrats had a filibuster-proof super-majority they could have pushed this amnesty through with no Republican ‘obstruction.’  They had the votes to push through anything they wanted and the Republicans couldn’t have stopped them. 

So why wait till now if it was so important that it couldn’t wait?

VOTES.  President Obama knows that this election is going to be very very difficult.  He can’t run on his record, so he needs to buy every vote he can … just like he bought ObamaCare(*2).  You only have to look at the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, and Handout Montana.  Take your ObamaGlasses off and you’ll see much better. 

Rush Limbaugh called it "Catch, Release, Vote."  And it's what it is.

Yes, have you forgotten Mr Bush (the Elder) and Mr Bush (Shrub) getting heckled?!?  Just how damned delusional are you people?  Here’s the ‘heckling’:

Didn’t Obama say just last year that he didn’t have the authority to do what he just did?!? 

This was done for political purposes, make no mistake about it.  He needs those votes, and he doesn't give a damn about anything else.

This isn’t about not caring, it’s about the law.  It’s about the three separate but equal branches of government. 

The President, no matter which colour, MSNBC, does not have the legal right under the Constitution to do what Mr Obama just did. 

Mr Obama knows what the Constitution says; he just doesn’t give a damn.
