Barack Obama has shown an inability to lead. He’d rather bash Republicans to boost Democratic fundraising efforts than to sit at the negotiating table. Now he’s decided he’ll start making decisions with or without Congress, in direct contradiction to the separation of powers articulated in the U.S. Constitution. The Washington Post explains Obama’s imperial intentions:
President Obama is preparing to announce new measures that would potentially allow millions of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States without fear of deportation, a politically explosive decision that could jolt Washington just weeks before the midterm elections, according to people who have been in touch with the White House.
…
Obama aides have discussed a range of options that could provide legal protections and work permits to a significant portion of the nation’s more than 11 million undocumented residents, said Democratic lawmakers and immigrant advocates who have met recently with White House officials. Ideas under consideration could include temporary relief for law-abiding undocumented immigrants who are closely related to U.S. citizens or those who have lived in the country a certain number of years — a population that advocates say could reach as high as 5 million.
