- Boehner and McConnell obstruct; Obama defies.
Last Friday I had a dandy idea for a Bleader post. The night before President Obama had spoken to the nation about immigration reform. “Last year,” said Obama, “68 Democrats, Republicans, and independents came together to pass a bipartisan bill in the Senate. It wasn’t perfect. It was a compromise. But it reflected common sense.”
And so forth. Alas, Friday was a busy day and the post didn’t get finished. And nobody reads posts posted over the weekend. And now that it’s Monday it’s all ancient history.

“Or throw him in prison,” said a congressman from Alabama.
“We want to make it clear we have nothing but compassion for the aliens who pick our oranges and wipe our babies’ bottoms,” said a moderate from a midwestern state, “which is why we refuse to allow Obama to exploit them as pawns in his totalitarian scheme to subvert America. The message we need to get across is that we’re sending all of you back where you came from because you don’t belong here but leave with your heads held high. I’ve met a number of illegals I’d be delighted to run into again in Acapulco.”
