He Just Can't Abide Any Form of Learning

President BO (the amateur president) has acted unilaterally on immigration "reform," choosing to ignore the Congress and the will of the American people. The ignoring of the citizens' will is the same tactic he used with ObamaCare. 

The result of his latest executive action will do as much damage to the economic well being to the United States as did ObamaCare.

You'd think he would have learned a lesson from all of this, but he didn't. He won't. He is too highly invested in himself and his own power to be taught anything. He already knows everything there is to know. He is certainly smarter than you are.

BY FRED BARNES, The Weekly Standard
The enduring unpopularity of Obamacare—indeed, the Republican commitment to repeal it—is an example of what can happen when bipartisanship is spurned. In this case, Obama and congressional Democrats made no effort to attract Republicans. 

Now they own Obamacare, including all its troubles. Republicans own none. And the health care law lacks full legitimacy. Four years after it was enacted, Democrats are still suffering politically. For them, Obamacare is a drag.

The same is likely to occur with Obama’s executive amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. It is doubly doomed to be regarded as illegitimate—first, because it stretches presidential authority beyond the breaking point, and second, because it has no bipartisan backing. Obama’s action is supported by many (but not all) Democrats in Congress but zero Republicans.

Obama (doesn't) acknowledge that he repeatedly told supporters of immigration reform that he didn’t have the presidential authority to, in effect, legalize so-called undocumented immigrants.

Obama may think he’s acting in a noble cause. "...his immigration policy (is) polarizing and unacceptable to a majority of Americans. And he’s assured that it won’t go away any time soon.his immigration policy all the more polarizing and unacceptable to a majority of Americans. And he’s assured that it won’t go away any time soon.his immigration policy all the more polarizing and unacceptable to a majority of Americans. And he’s assured that it won’t go away any time soon.

In the end. President BO (the amateur president) simply does not care about America, Americans, what Americans think or how they are hurt. He does not subscribe to the tenants of the Constitution nor does he intend to follow them, as he has made very clear over the years. He cares only about his power and his ability to make The United States into what HE thinks it should be, apart from its historical and philosophical establishment.

This is what we get when parents (or grand parents) never say no to little Barry, praise his every little burp, and as he grows up everyone in the room defers to his judgement, since he can speak well.

And doesn't pronounce NOO-CLEE-ER as NOO-QUE-LER.

That's Barry's claim to fame, and now he knows everything about everything, and takes no advice from anyone.

And this is what we get. Two more years, Joe. Two. More. Years.

Joe - If it is true that Obama doesn't care about our country then that is very sad. We need a president that does care about his country and will act on that.

Fredd: I have postulated in posts long ago that a "civil emergency" will occur during which PBO (tap) will declare that the 2016 elections need to be postponed and will do so with his pen and his phone. And though he said, "I am not the emperor..." he will become so. (Do you remember "Don't change horses in mid stream?")

sh: Yes, we do.

Joe:

If barry tries to suspend elections by his pen, blood will flow in the streets, and his regime will end badly.

I think I know my fellow Americans well enough to know that they simply won't stand for a dictator, they won't. Not ever.
