His Own Words: Obama Said He Doesn't Have Authority For Executive Amnesty 22 Times
Katie Pavlich - Nov 19, 2014

According to a report in POLITICO, President Obama is expected to make good on his executive amnesty threat on Friday during an event in Las Vegas, despite saying repeatedly over the years that he does not have the authority to change immigration laws from the Oval Office.

House Speaker John Boehner, who warned the President shortly after the 2014 midterm elections that acting alone on immigration would "poison the well," has taken notice of Obama's past statements. After some research, his office found President Obama directly claimed 22 times he couldn't take executive action on immigration because he doesn't have the authority.

March 2011: Remarks by the President Univision Townhall

"America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the President, am obligated to enforce the law. I don't have a choice about that. …. [W]e’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”

“I’m not a king. My job as the head of the executive branch ultimately is to carry out the law,” Obama told Telemundo. “When it comes to enforcement of our immigration laws, we’ve got some discretion. We can prioritize what we do. But we can’t simply ignore the law.”

“I can’t do these things just by myself.” He reiterated that sentiment in a February 2013 interview with Telemundo. “I’m not a king,” he said.

Perhaps his views evolved.

Perhaps he is a globalist puppet, dancing like a marionette, swinging to the Symphony of Destruction.

He is doing the will of those who placed him in power. Oligarchs, tyrant, racists, and nameless, faceless monsters all, who sit unassailable at their table of real power. It's called the New World Order.

But hell, I just read an CNBC story that says "that Americans broadly share his goals for policy reform" that was just rejected, along with Obama, at the polls two weeks ago...what the shit do I know. I work with steel for a living.

Go team Red! Go team Blue! Fuck this, I'm gonna eat tacos
