Fair question
Here is an obama quote from 2008

“I taught the Constitution for 10 years, I believe in the Constitution and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We’re not going to use signing statements [Executive Orders] as a way of doing an end run around Congress.”

Since when is Constitutional law defined by something the president said? And if its illegal how come HW BUsh is going skydiving instead of eating dinner in prison?
Oh, and by the way, there's plenty other Obama-Quotes in which He, Himself, has explained that He cannot do what He is about to do, . . . because the Constitution limits Him:

******quote***
In fact, most of the questions that were posed to the president over the past several years were about the very thing that he is expected to announce within a matter of days: whether he could do something to reduce deportations and keep families together if Congress would not act.

The president was pressed on that very issue during a Google Hangout in February 2013. An activist asked whether he could do more to keep families from being “broken apart” while Congress remained gridlocked on immigration legislation.

“This is something that I have struggled with throughout my presidency,” Mr. Obama said. “The problem is, is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.
***endquote***
Ref: The New York Times [Lot and lots of similar quotes in this article - DD]

Apparently something big happened between February 2013 and now, . . . The Obama has been transformed into something more than a President . . .



. . . or, perhaps, even way more than a President . . .



. . . or, perhaps, even way, WAY MORE than a President . . .


"The Universal, Omnipotent, Absolute OBAMA-Prescence and Giver of all Life"

. . . or, something, . . .



A Personal Note from DonDiego:
If, The Obama, were to become The Universal, Omnipotent, Absolute OBAMA-Prescence and Giver of all Life, DonDiego would swear allegiance to Him, . . . and advise others to do likewise. Some things just cannot be resisted.

A Disturbing Literary Observation:
In his 1968 Hugo Award winning novel predicting a 2010 dystopian society resulting from overpopulation, Mr. John Brunner included a popular leader named President Obomi.

DonDiego's immediately preceding post is good, . . . really, really good. He recommends the reader save it somewhere for posterity, . . . or something.

Oh, and DonDiego grants one and all the right to reproduce and distribute the post elsewhere, as deemed necessary.

DonDiego is his own biggest fan. Good for him. Whitney Houston wrote a great song about that once.

Or better yet - why have one standard when you can have two?

If this executive order is illegal or unconstituional then there would be no precedent of other presidents doing the same thing. Except there is. History exists as a constant despite any and all attempts made by Hoops to rewrite it. And legalities are uniform for all people - not just the ones Hoops picks and chooses.

The definition of "unconstitutional" is not "anything that makes Hoops upset". Its a real word and it has a real meaning. Just like "law" and "executive order". Find that high school kid, Hoops. You desperately need his help.

Dont forget about American History 101 and American Government 101 ! I aced those too.

I see there's a remedial course offered on Amazon for people more at Hoops/Boilerman's level.


If obama's amnesty is such a great deal, why didn't he declare it before the election?
