Now this is more like it, and not merely because it is making the usual suspects squeal.
In a Twitter post, Republican Sen Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the decision "avoids dealing with Congress and the American people instead of fixing a broken immigration system once and for all... This is a classic Barack Obama move of choosing politics over leadership," Graham's tweet said.
You know what, Huckleberry? Tough. You and your party have demagogued this issue to the point where, in the last presidential campaign, John McCain had to disavow his own immigration bill. Who in the hell is the president supposed to lead?
This guy?
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, called the change a "decision to grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal immigrants... Many illegal immigrants will falsely claim they came here as children and the federal government has no way to check whether their claims are true," Smith said in a statement. "And once these illegal immigrants are granted deferred action, they can then apply for a work permit, which the administration routinely grants 90% of the time."
Or, maybe, this guy, the nuttiest member of the House not named Allen West....
"I will tell you that — I'm not without experience on this — I'm prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy," King said.
And somebody stole the strawberries, too.
Steve King is the leader of your party on this issue, Huckleberry. Live with it.
(Ooops, I may have overrated Steve King here. Congressman West, checking in from beautiful downtown Paranoid Palms, Florida.)
(And here's a guy from Tucker Carlson's little vanity publication, acting like a jackass.)
Obama Goes Long on Immigration, GOP Goes Crazy
