The problem with this is not only are you extraordinarily biased and unintelligent in your assessment of the President, but you also fail to see the realities of what is politically beneficial and what is not.

The best thing President Obama could do for the Democratic Party would be to quickly implement immigration reform that includes a guest worker program and some form of amnesty. Why? The Democrats already get 90% or more of the African American vote on a regular basis, they traditionally win women, and they win the college-aged vote by large margins. Throwing the Latino vote – which would be significantly expended over the long haul by immigration reform – into the Democratic Coalition would ensure victory for years to come, while only alienating white Conservatives who already hate Democrats.

Obama is savvy, so immigration reform is definitely a priority of his, even if it is not priority number one.

The current immigration laws were signed by Ronald Reagan.

The GOP controlled both houses of Congress for 12 years in a row prior to 2007. The White House has been in Republican hands for 20 of the last 28 years.

Yeah, that Obama sure is a jerk-off for not fixing the immigration mess yet. He’s been in office for a whole six months.

Poor FITS. He spent so many years being pimped out by King David he just can’t quit writing bad fiction like this.

No, immigration is not a good talking point for Republicans. They really dropped the ball on that one. Now its the democrates turn to blow sunshine up every ones ass and the republicans get to whine now. Screw the two party BS system!
