One of my favorite bloggers, Matt Walsh, blasts Emperor Obama for his amnesty EO. I have never seen Matt quite so exercised but his commentary is spot on. Here are the two opening paragraphs:
Dear President Obama, Lord, Sultan, Emperor, Pharaoh, Caesar, God-king, Prince of the Americas, whatever we’re supposed to call you. ‘President’ alone simply won’t suffice, will it, Your Grace? We had a thing called a president once, but that lowly office could scarcely contain your Majesty. You found that you couldn’t effectively govern while constrained by the rule of law, so you superseded it, just as you’ve done countless times before. This time you are waving your mighty scepter and magically granting defacto citizenship to millions of illegal aliens.
Incredibly, even after all of the scandals, corruption, lies, and deceits; even after this past week when we learned about the depth of your Obamacare deception; even after using the IRS to target your political opponents; even after letting your ambassador die in Benghazi and lying about it afterwards; even after dividing the nation and exploiting racial tensions for your own gain; even after six years of incompetence, dishonesty, conspiracy, and illegality; even after every law you’ve flouted, promise you’ve broken, and lie you’ve told, you still found a way to top yourself. In refusing to enforce our borders and uphold our immigration laws, you are now guilty of the most profound presidential power grab since Abraham Lincoln. This is a landmark moment, and I’m sure you’re proud of that fact.
I am not sure who it was that turned me on to Matt, believe it was Sanguine, but whoever it was, thank you.
Here's one further thought from Matt: This is a precedent, Oh Supreme President. Who knows where it leads? Maybe the next Republican president will follow your example and dismantle Obamacare through executive order, or enact abortion restrictions, or manipulate the tax code. The possibilities are endless.

Nah, won't happen. A funny thing happens when POTUS' have an R after their name.

We discover we have a watchdog press.
This is unfortunately very true! it's so worth ignoring those POS's. Their watchdog function these days has gone into omission, not just remission. "Concha: ABC, NBC Nightly Newscasts Now 10 Days into Ignoring Gruber Scandal"
The comments of MIT professor Jonathan Gruber have been a big story for the past ten days. Regardless of how you voted or whether you’re team red or blue, an official who worked closely with President Obama and his team on crafting the Affordable Care Act (visiting the Oval Office 19 times to specifically discuss a strategy) and later revealing on multiple occasions that the law was predicated on misleading “stupid” American voters is a story worthy of national attention and scrutiny. Those who don’t believe this are willfully blind, or as stupid as even an MSNBC panel says the White House thinks we all are.
With that in mind, here’s one more streak to chew on: Over the past ten nights, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC’s Nightly News haven’t just buried the story in some throwaway segment late in their respective programs; they haven’t mentioned Gruber or the controversy in any capacity. Some could argue the decision to omit has been made because the news cycle has been heavy on the breaking news front. Except that hasn’t remotely been the case. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/concha-abc-nb...gruber-scandal/

What it boils down to TK, for both Goebbels, Obama and Holder and other outright partisans like Lois Lerner, is party above all else. Can it be proven any different from his record?
Certainly what Obama says at any moment is purely opportunistic rather than truth-based. This can be shown by his known habit of saying what is expedient for the day [flat out lying] with a complete disregard for those words spoken when at a later time it is right to forge ahead with the agenda.

Zero is merely demonstrating what it is like to live in a world in which there is no objective right or wrong only 'mistakes'.
