The Right Stuff In The Morning
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
Good morning! In the news today: Obama's amnesty is designed to be permanent and include far more than the 5 million ostensibly protected; Obama may seek ground troops for fighting ISIS; Senate releases torture report; GOP rebuts; Gruber apologizes but refuses to really engage on his videotaped comments; and two thirds of U.S. kids are on some form of federal aid.
Have a great day, if possible.

Obama amnesty designed to be permanent . . . The man who will oversee President Obama’s new temporary amnesty said Tuesday that part of the reason for the
program was to get the illegal immigrants working on the books, making it economically impossible for them ever to be deported by a future president.

Washington Times Obama: Amnesty for many more than 5 million . . . Obama told a group
of illegal immigrants in Tennessee that his immigration-law rewrite means “you’re not going to be deported.” Obama’s admission acknowledged that his Nov. 21 declaration provides a de-facto amnesty for the 12 million illegals living in the United States. Daily
Caller Obama: Future president unlikely to reverse me . . . The next president won’t dare take the political risk that would come with undoing recent executive action on immigration reform, a defiant President Obama said Tuesday as he predicted his highly controversial steps will survive the test of time, even under a Republican administration.

All-American . . . Perhaps you too have been wondering why it is that President Obama is always, always telling us who we are as Americans and who we are not . . .

a president. Andrew Ferguson
