Between this and the Ferguson grand jury results it'll be an interesting week. Any bets on what he'll propose? Meaningless EO's that accomplish nothing substantive, or going for the gusto?

My bet is he'll go full executard.

I heard the administration was upset that several MSM outlets are not going to cover his prime time ~~advert~~ announcement.

I am going to be interested to see if the issue of the foreign high-tech workers and H-1 visas is addressed.

He will go big and bold with it because he knows he has the main scream media and he knows that the republicans always shoot themselves when they are given the ammunition.

I think all are going to cover it just most if not all are going to shove it over to their respective cable site instead of jacking around with the normal prime time line ups. It appears that CBS is not going to move Big Bang Theory back or pre-empt.

Also I saw something on Fox News that he is doing it only because he promised. Why keep this one?

Trying desperately to remain relevant as he becomes increasingly less so.

I read that he didn't even ask any English speaking channels to run it live ...

I just watched it live on my local NBC affiliate in Seattle.

Did he say anything interesting? I put a new rail on my AR instead of watching.

I like how he said getting here from now one illegally will be more difficult. The underlying message is though if you are lucky enough to do so you can stay.

Jump the white house fence and you get jail if not shot.
Jump the border fence and get a green card and voter id.

I'm seeing a lot of stuff by newly minted citizens asking if Obama will give them a refund on their fees for doing it the right way.

Short story long, amnesty.

So semi-serious question:

What laws are worth following? Only the ones we think they'll bother to enforce? It seems like Obama is saying as long as the victim pool of your crime is large enough that no individual feels the pinch it's OK to go ahead and commit the crime.

The ones for which violation will get you shot, imprisoned, or impoverished. Which now seems to be whatever the officer/prosecutor/judge decide to apply.

And I'm seeing a lot of stuff from black activist leaders who are highly incensed that the Big O (their man in the White House) has thrown them under the bus in favor of 5 (or so) millions mostly Hispanics who will suck up the welfare and take the jobs that (some) black people could occupy.

Well, suck it up, Buttercup. You voted for him, I didn't.

It is not just brown people from south of the border, or yellow people from across the Pacific; it is white people from Europe, too.

Hawkmoon · « **Reply #20 on:** November 27, 2014, 01:09:22 PM »

True, but the overwhelming majority of illegals currently in the country are from Mexico. Vying for a distant second place would be Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic.
