Is Obama a President or King?

[Mister Agenda]

Tonight Obama, presumably, will side step congress and enact his own immigration reform. Does this make him a president or a king?

Being elected president makes him president. America doesn't have a king. He isn't doing anything that can't be overridden by congress or the next president.

Now I don't normally like to use material from Fox News because many of you are simply unwilling to hear an opposing view point when it comes from Fox News(which is silly) but I think Napolintano does a good job of framing what we should be looking when Obama presents his solution to the immigration problem.

I used to watch FOX News because I hoped it would balance the liberal bias of the other networks and give me a more complete picture of the news. However, their partisanship crosses the border of ridiculousness. That said, I regard Napolitano as interesting enough not to go out of my way to avoid watching him.

If anyone wants to post opposing views of what we should be looking for....please do it now before Obama makes his play.

I think we should open our borders except for reasonable security precautions (get their picture, fingerprint, and DNA; put them in a database if they aren't already there, and give them a visa). My only misgiving about Obama's actions is that it may lead to a congressional backlash that winds up making immigration even more broken than it already is, but I have that concern primarily because so many of our elected congress critters are overgrown children.

How do you feel about a party that blocks legislation 57% of Americans want to see passed?

Yeah, that looks more like it. I just can't remember which video Kyle puts it up on.

Ah, I can see where that chart would be misleading. It's not chronologically ordered, but ordered from most executive orders to fewest; and it's average executive orders per day in office, so two-term presidents could issue more orders than single-term presidents and still have a shorter bar on that scale. If you didn't have the opportunity to look at it closely, your impression is quite understandable.
