TheBlueVue 177 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 This guy hits right at the heart of Obama's motivations for executive amnesty. A good read for anyone open to reading it. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/393515/barack-obama-troll-jonah-goldberg "Which points to why I think he’s trolling. As Robert Litan of the Brookings Institution notes, Obama “could’ve done all this quietly, without making any announcement whatsoever.” After all, Obama has unilaterally reinterpreted and rewritten the law without nationally televised addresses before. But doing that wouldn’t let him pander to Latinos and, more important, that wouldn’t achieve his real goal: enraging Republicans. As policy, King Obama’s edict is a mess, which may explain why Latinos were initially underwhelmed by it, according to a Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll. But that’s not the yardstick Obama cares about most. The real goal is twofold: Cement Latinos into the Democratic coalition, and force Republicans to overreact. He can’t achieve the first if he doesn’t succeed with the second. It remains to be seen if the Republicans will let themselves be trolled into helping him."

cooltigger21 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 No doubt he is trying to goad the republicans into being stupid. It is not an unreasonable thing to think. He also wants to see if he can freeze them into inaction. If there is no pushback at all he can then proceed to do it again and grant amnesty to the ones not covered under this EO.

There is going to be plenty of push back and I think it wont be the kind of over the top ill conceived response Obama is hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even Republican stupidity is Obama's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
