Dude, you're seriously trying to blame Obama's total ineptitude on GOP "chaos"? He went with Executive Orders when the electorate took away his mandate. Before it was "elections have consequences...I won!" but after the 2010 mid-terms it was "I know best...I don't care what you think!"
When right wingers in congress ONLY objective is to do NOTHING, then the executive MUST act unilaterally.....
When Obama issued his EO on immigration (which is the decision that pissed off all of your ilk) he ALSO stated......'PASS A BILL OF YOU OWN CONGRESS!!!" and the answer was still to do nothing.
Besides, look up the number of EOs from Obama versus GWB.
Oh, please! If Barack Obama REALLY wanted to pass immigration reform he could have done so the first two years he was in office when the Democrats had huge majorities in the House and Senate. Blaming the GOP for not getting it done is LAUGHABLE!
While you're laughing, please consider this:
1. Congress...even with a majority of one party......CANNOT seem to arrive to a consensus because of the tyranny of the minority right wing-soon-to-be-tea-baggers who want to do NOTHING (even in the first 2 year
of Obama's presidency.
2. The issue of immigration has gotten much more pronounced during the last recession.
3. EXACTLY what is stopping the current congress from passing an immigration bill that is better than Obama and announcing that Obama has vetoed the "better" bill?
I'm curious, Nat...when Harry Reid was stacking House bills passed by the GOP on his desk and not allowing them to come to the Senate floor for discussion...let alone a vote...did that bother you?
