There are far more questions than answers. Remember, President Obama said "No illegal aliens will be covered."

This could be entirely true, yet those who are presently illegal aliens could be covered. The Presidential Power of the pardon would make the illegal aliens legal. If the President pardons illegal aliens they would no longer be illegal aliens.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
Article. II. – The Executive Branch

Section 2 – Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,
and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United
States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the
executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective
Offices, and he shall have POWER TO GRANT REPRIEVES AND PARDONS FOR OFFENSES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, except in Cases of Impeachment.

People remember a Community Developer is not a leader, they are facilitators to group process. The facilitator asks open ended questions, encourages debate from a select group of experts(?), and waits for a response to write it on the flip chart. They do not own the information coming back from the participants that is why O is not a leader and is incapable of speaking intelligently without a teleprompter, the decisions are not his, they're group process.

Good column.

If the leadership skills were better, the country already might have been transformed completely into a communist state.

The Problem with this president is that he is indeeed a community organizer's lawyer not the organizer himself. And i think when you run for office you should at least be able to organize for yourself and not just be the organizer's lawyer. And he is one of the worst Presidents due to the fact that with all of his rheotric he can not speak for himself but has members of his cabinet and party do it for him. And I Understand that he does want to be the "put my foot down", or forceful president that Bush was but there has to be a difference between being an understanding and caring president and being a push over where his own party, cabinet members, Special interest groups, and other world leaders just push over and get you to do whatever is convient for them
