Immigration: Once More, It Is All About Obama

The media love to give bad advice to Republicans. Distance yourself from conservatives. Distance yourself from tea party types. Forget that abortion stuff. Tell the Christians where to go. Nominate someone who impulsively reaches across the aisle. Stay clear from Sarah Palin. Blanket amnesty and in-state tuition for what is the term? Migrant dreamers? It is Ollie saying to Stanley, "Why can't you be more like me?"

I am reluctant to offer advice to Dems, in part because I don't want to sound like Ollie and in part because I enjoyed this year's election and part of me wants to scream, "Stay the course! Stay the course! Stay the course! Have another glass of Kool-Aid! And another! Wish we had someone half as brilliant as Mr. Hopenchange. Guess we'll just keep on losing."

But...haven't you had enough of Jonestown? No? OK, drink a glass for me.

Once more, we have entered the theater of the absurd. Even Obama's critics don't seem to understand him very well. The immigration decree is and will be wildly unpopular, even among Democrats. This is a terrible political maneuver. Yet, the sanctioned critics bend over backwards to put this on an existing template.

Watch this vid. Here is O'Reilly interviewing Krauthammer. Krauthammer tells us Obama has delayed this sort of unilateral command because it would jeopardize elections. In other words, it is a politically bad move. So why would he do it?

O'Reilly asks Krauthammer if he is calling Obama a phony, a venal man. In essence that is exactly what he is saying. But Krauthammer cannot say this, even on Fox News because even there, Obama is treated with kid gloves. So Krauthammer denies that he has asserted that Obama is venal and phony and he explains that this is the work of a skilled politician. Huh?

Was it a good political tactic or a bad one, Charles?

And two quick follow ups? Is Obama phony? Is he venal? You can skip those two, Charles. Everyone knows the answers.



Obama's Executive action will damage the Democratic Party even more than he has already hurt it. Obama does not care. He does not care. This is a sick individual trying hard to harvest adulation anywhere he can find it. The day after his prime time announcement he flies to Las Vegas to perform a rally to "sell" his program. What? What is there to sell? The emperor has spoken. It does not matter if anyone is buying. Still, the emperor sells his mandate at a rally.

By the way, the president's prime time announcement and accompanying rally coincides with the Latin Grammies, hosted in Las Vegas. Anything for adoration. Anything. Obama gets an audience on successive days. Mission accomplished.
