Smart move politically by Obama. Currently the Democrats are getting ready to get slaughtered in the mid term election and might even lose the Senate.
This move by Pres. Obama might be just enough politically to hurt them and allow the Dems to barely hang on. At least that's the objective.
Oh, wait a minute...did some of y'all actually think that the Republicans and Democrats gave a fuck about "immigration reform" itself? LOL |
They only give a fuck about it in the sense of how it could gain or lose them votes.
It is a slick move by Obama. As you say, the republicans can't win on this topic so he is trying to push them into a fight.
