Obama’s immigration Independence Day . . . National Journal

Inside Obama’s secret schedule . . . Yahoo
It’s a document so closely held that Obama aides, like their counterparts under George W. Bush, are expected to dispose of it at day’s end in “burn bags” typically reserved for documents so sensitive they cannot be consigned to mere shredding.

Ok all you WHD denizens, what’s the line. Will Obama be shamed into finally visiting the border mess he created while he spends two days in Texas fundraising at taxpayer or expense, or will he give the flying finger of fate to Rick Perry and the rest of the country knowing privately that he was the President who finally figured out how to turn Texas blue: just turn it into a 3rd world state?
My bet, since the lollipops have already been handed out, Obama will stay in Washington and hand out amnesty/citizenship.
That Jeh person said Sun that Obama can’t go everyplace he wants–or should–he did throw in the should.. But it would just be a dog atop a pony anyhow.
Asking Obama to visit the Texas border is RACIST and the evil Republicans fault.
Michelle Obama Employs Only 2 Men; Pays Men 46% More Than Women On Staff
MO’s pretty generous with “our money” isn’t she. Let’s Move and Joining Forces are a farce (we already have fitness and health programs in community centers and a very supportive military community run by non-profits).
I just saw on fox the comment that Gov. Perry said:
O is either inept or has ulterior motive on bordr crisis.
I’ll take both for $18 trillion dollars Alex.
$18 trillion — the projected cost of turning America over to illegal hordes.
LOL
This, of course, is pure fantasy. But I just saw an ad that said NBC and the COC were dedicated to making sure vets were hired. (Instead of the illegals the COC really wants).
Anyway, Ann Coulter suggested a moratorium at the border. Remember this is a fantasy. But, a moratorium, then every vet who can and who wants to work (and not retire or pursue an independent course) is hired. Then every American who wants to work, is working. Then legal immigrants are processed and in line for documentation and citizenship.
Then , after the border is secure, immigrants with documentation, health records, and a certain level of self sufficiency and sponsorhip can be processed.
People, within the country, without documentation after a certain date, are deported. On Canadian buses.
I noticed Issa’s comment on Holder appointing a special prosecutor for the IRS scandal yesterday, but it’s unclear whether this was just Issa expressing his opinion of what could happen or if Holder actually told him this.
I saw “something somewhere” (big help) that said same Holder to leave next year and to now appoint SP. Doesn’t much matter however since the SP will be selected by Holder. I think the Holders have a cat they are considering proposing for this position or perhaps LLerner has a long lost nephew that practices law somewhere — probably a classmate of Obama’s or something. Surely there is a vast pool of Obama approved SPs to choose from. Just takes a little time to set it all up.
Didn’t Holder say he was going to leave at the end of the year 2013?
Obama couldn’t survive without him.
I find it very sad that the only reasons given for appointing a special prosecutor were political and not because there may have been crimes.
I read the article about the president’s schedules. Since it was Yahoo they glossed over the fact that Obama has his destroyed while other presidents have saved them for their libraries. Our most transparent administration ever is going to need only a phone booth for his papers.
I have a mole in the White House and have learned that the reason it gets destroyed is because it really isn’t needed. They’re just keeping one for the library as the rest are all the same:
Meet with Valerie for orders
