Honest socialists
What a wonderful, wonderful sentence:
Two White House officials said Obama concluded that circumventing Congress through executive actions on immigration during the campaign would politicize the issue and hurt future efforts to pass a broad overhaul.
I admit this is less about socialism than it is about anti-Americanism, but then again Obama gets to define that any way he likes, doesn't he? "Nothing is more American than hating America, and it's unpatriotic to say otherwise."
What I'm curious about is, in prompting this story, who is Obama talking to? I suppose the issue is so toxic that the Democrat Party was pleading for him to publicly back off.

I don't think you get it. Even Obama would never do anything so highly unpopular before an election. The strategy was to goad the Republicans into something stupid, like a government shutdown, to distract the public from everything else that's going wrong. That seems to have failed, so they'll just have to wait until after the election to stab the nation in the back.
I guess, but I find it hard to believe even John Boehner could be that stupid.
(And I might quibble with stabbing the nation in the back. There's no excuse for not knowing. I think it's full frontal.)
It was worth a shot. It doesn't take much to get Ted Cruz going.
Justice will need to wait out the crazies. Here's hoping they wail up a storm for the next 2 months and lose any hope of appealing beyond the nativist bloc
I would anticipate an "unintended" live mike quote coming out soon where Obama says, "just wait till after the election, I'll have more flexibility to grant amnesties."
