I have been very hesitant to post this but with this eo he's doing Thursday this thread is very relavent.
He's at high risk of being assinated during and after his presidency. His family also. Is there a point where as president you have an obligation to consider your and your family's safety?
Sounds like someone really really really doesn't want the democrats getting credit for immigration reform.
Solution isn't to kill our elected leader or make veiled threats to do so to him or his family which is what the "reluctant OP' is really all about... It sounds like a classic mafia threat to me. "It would pain me to hear, god forbid, that something terrible should happen to you or your family.."
The solution is for the republicans to actually come up with their own immigration reform that is compassionate but firm. I suspect that Obama's act today is probably going to be pretty close with what the GOP would've come up with. After all, Obama has been known to be a deporter-in-chief. Too bad the GOP has invested so heavily in not cooperating with the democrats to the point that they're behind the game and now will look like idiots for waiting too long to pass something they could've actually agreed with democrats with...well, not Pelosi or Reed democrats, the ones who still have their sanity intact..there are a few in Congress still..
