As he prepares to announce the new immigration law he has written and will enact , reaction to the First American Emir seems pretty uniform among GOP leadership”
“there will be consequences”
“if the president does this, it will poison his relationship with Congress”
“the American people just made their wishes known in the mid-term election and the message they sent to their representatives is that they want us to work together and break the gridlock in Washington”
“we (the GOP) will not shut down the government”
“With this action, President Obama doesn’t seem to realize that he is seriously damaging his legacy”
“we’re hopeful that President Obama will work with us to fix our broken immigration system and not act on his own”
“we are considering not confirming his nominations, including that for Attorney General”
“defunding is not an appropriate response to President Obama’s action”
“We’re only 100% of one-third of the government; we can’t do anything now, but that’s why we need to win the presidency in 2016; then we’ll really, really get stuff done” (Oh, wait! Mitch hasn’t said that yet, has he?)
and so on…..
All that remains after today is for Mr. Obama to decide how he wishes to be addressed from now on…”Your Majesty”, perhaps?…Michele, it is rumored, likes the title “Empress”; we shall see. DLH
