Barack Obama says immigration reform is off the table

This is a mobile post, please excuse the lack of block quotes for my Barack Obama quote.

Today Barack Obama took immigration reform off of his agenda, at least until after the 2010 election– claiming that politicians probably do not want to take on this divisive issue before the face re-election.

While speaking about this decision, Barack Obama said the following:

“I don’t want us to do something just for the sake of politics that doesn’t solve the problem,”

I just wish he had the same mindset before he forced congress to pass a healthcare reform bill that will not solve the problem. The truth is simple; he knows that there is a very good chance that Democrats are going to lose at least one house in congress, but if they pass this bill in the same underhanded manner that they passed healthcare reform, the outcome will be certain– Democrats not only will lose control of congress, there will be a slaughter.

Barack Obama may have been willing to lose some Democrat seats in November by pushing healthcare reform down our throats, but he is unwilling to suffer the embarrassing loses that would be certain if they passed an amnesty bill. So the immigration reform bill is dead while congress puts cap and trade on the agenda first (cap and trade must also be defeated, but there will be plenty of time to write about that as the bill moves forward.) But make no mistake about it, if Democrats hold on to congress in November immigration reform will be the first issue that is address. We can not let this happen, we have one chance and one chance only to stop this bill for good– conservatives must take control of at least one branch of congress. This means all of the RINOs that are up for re-election must be defeated also.
