Obama wants to bypass the will of the people (Congress)

The United States Constitution and our founding fathers stipulated the people are represented in our federal government by our elected representatives in Congress. President Obama would rather circumvent Congress since it’s not controlled by Democrats.

From the Washington Examiner.

… President Obama told a Hispanic group in Washington Wednesday that when it comes to the issue of immigration, “I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

“As I mentioned when I was at La Raza a few weeks back, I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own,” Obama told a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. “There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

He implies enforcement – or non-enforcement – of laws is really subject to his own opinion, depending on the day and the crowd he’s speaking in front of.

This seems to be a topic he keeps bringing up. I’d like to do this for you, but unfortunately, we have to work with Congress to get things done … you know, those elected officials you sent to Washington…

The foundation of our country is crumbling.

    Let’s all close our eyes and imagine what a re-elected, not running for anything, Obama might say, and actually do.

    The immigration process is not broken, it isn’t used properly or at all.?
    – Hence, the slave population with the PC label?”illegal aliens”.
    The President should be bringing EVERYONE?back to the rule of law.
    Instead, he?circumvents and further destroys the law.
    Not the example to set for anyone.
    If he has no respect, why would he expect it in return?
