Shock Video: Obama Admits He Can’t Do What He Did Today

It‘s very rare that you see President Obama admit wrongdoing after he’s done something. Unfortunately, it’s much more common for him to say something is a bad idea and then do it. Listing the number of instances would take too long, but it‘s safe to say it’s a common trend.
And now there’s just one more example. In the following clip, taken from a 2011 Univision Town Hall, President Obama admits that it’s beyond his power to suspend deportations for anyone because (surprise, surprise) there are laws on the books that he’d be breaking by doing that. In other words, the President acknowledges that to do what he did today would be a rank violation of the separation of powers. Watch below:
Couldn’t have put it better ourselves, Mr. President. If only you’d listened.

Posted on June 15, 2012 at 9:27pmIt is because he is half Black that they don’t do what they took an oath to do……uphold and enforce our Constitution. They are afraid of a race war. Well I have news for them. It is coming anyway and in some places has already started. Blacks have been looking for a reason to kill whites ever since the Democrats started dismantling the Black family. Democrats have kept a large number of Black people in bondage by giving them what they need and like addiction they can’t vote against a free ride. But along with free care was a loss of identity and self esteem and what is left is rage.

Sometimes they look like they don’t know what their doing but its been their plan all along. They have only had a few bumps to my knowledge, the Tea Party, Fast and Furious and the States move against his Affordable Cares Act. Obama is not smart he just does what he’s told and sticks to the agenda like glue.

I believe Americans are fed up sufficiently to take Washington on foot. God gave us this country and I don’t think He is ready for us to surrender it to our enemies in high places. No one is above our God. He is our leader whether we know it or not, and no one can stay his hand. What He lifts up, no one can put down, and what He puts down, not one can lift up. Stay alert, stay awake. Be ready. Our day will come. Soon.
