“Hope and Change ” is sooo 19th century!
“So what are you gonna do about it?”
That’s the Obama administration’s new rallying cry. Establishment Republicans have been cowed by it for 6 years. Now Latinos and Democrat true believers are getting it … the tyrant treatment.
Especially heartbreaking is the lament of Cristina Jiminez, director of United We Dream: “To wait nine more weeks means that I must again look my mother in the eye and see the fear she has about living under the threat of deportation every day.”
“But Dreamers will not soon forget the president and Democrats’s latest failure and their attempts to fool the Latino community, and we remain resolute in fighting for justice for our families,” Jimenez added.
And, thus, in the words of the new version of “Yes we can”, “What are you gonna do about it, Cristina? Vote Republican?”
But perhaps the oddest observation to come out of Obama’s move is that from The Hill, one of his media fans:
“(It)… is likely an attempt to also quell calls from vulnerable Senate Democrats to hold off on any move until after the elections, fearing any action would isolate independent voters and fire up the Republican base.”
“Isolate independent voters”!!!!! What does that mean…”isolate”?
Those poor “independent voters” are just going to be cast out into a no man’s land…cut off from their benevolent ruler (Obama) and not knowing where to even find a polling place, fearful that the evil Republicans will round them up and demand to see some photo ID? The horror!! DLH

Relax Ms. Jiminez, Obama will have more, ahem, “flexibility” after the election. Just ask Vladimir.
