Stopping Obama, at All Costs, Even If You Agree With Him

BY NOW YOU KNOW THAT the United States, along with England, France, Germany, Russia, and somebody else, have signed an agreement with Iran, on nuclear weapons. And that, all by itself, is impressive. Its a start. Amazing that the United and Iran can get along, at all. Its amazing that it was possible, and only the recent change of government in Iran made it possible. Their new leader seems like a man you can try to communicate with. At least, you can try. According to American conservative Republicans, Obama only signed this deal to deflect attention from Obamacare, as if he has the power to get the Iranians to cooperate in a bizarre scheme to deflect attention from Obamacare. You just know the Iranians would agree to help Obama with that! Now, Obama is trying to deal with the immigration issue, and once again, republican conservatives will do what they yalways do; they will oppose Obama's immigration reform plan, not because they really disagree with it, but just because it comes from Obama. Anything Obama proposes, the republican plan is to stand against it. Everything in Obama's immigration reform plan makes sense. Good border security, reasonable pathway to citisenship for those illegals already here. Better government protection of the country, through documentation. There is absolutely no reason why anyone should vote against it. Yet, the republicans in congress will, unless they get to have their say, unless thay get to blackmail the president for a few weeks into changing some small part of the immigration program, just so they can save face, and have some small little victory to claim as their very own. Delay, and obstruct. Whatever. Obama will probably end up agreeing with whatever the republicans want, whatever it is they want, then, as soon as he does, the republicans will no longer want it.
