Deferred Deportation To Be Blocked

A court challenge by federal immigration agents seeking to block President Barack Obama’s deferred-deportation initiative will probably succeed, a judge said.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Dallas today put off his own decision on whether to grant the request for a preliminary injunction by 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs agents. He asked both sides to file additional arguments no later than May 6.

Announced by Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano last year, the directive gives agents the ability to defer action on people unlawfully in the U.S. if they came to the country under the age of 16, are in school or have obtained a high school diploma, haven’t been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or multiple misdemeanors, and aren’t a threat to public safety or national security.

“The court finds that DHS does not have discretion to refuse to initiate removal proceedings” when the requirements for deportation under a federal statute are met, O’Connor said today in a 38-page decision, referring to the Department of Homeland Security.

Wow not a good couple of weeks for the King, gun control down, deferred deportation of a banana peel, flight delays pizzing off flyers and a Congressional Report pointing the finger of blame for Benghazi at him and Hillary with whistle blowers fleeing the burning Obama barge.

Add that to he has to go to a ceremony celebrating GW Bush and had to step back from a Key Note Speaker position a Planned Parenthood Gala.

Added to that the ricin scare and the FBI screw up by very publicly arresting the WRONG guy and having to drop the charges,

And the FBI and Homeland Security allowing a foreign terrorist living in the US to achieve another terrorist attack on US soil.

Oh and how that story is being reported today :shock: Sec Kerry announces one of the bombers flew to Russia and something happened while he was there that made him come back wanting to bomb Americans. BUT the White House and Janet :roll: are saying there is no evidence he had foreign ties. :?

The FBI and Homeland claim the US was only warned once but yet it was reported the Russians claimed they warned several US organizations of the older brother radicalization.

Wouldn't it be nice to get the same story from all of them just ONCE.

As if that isn't bad enough the Unions are publicly backing the push for the pipeline that Obama is holding up AND REPUBLICANS are pushing for.

NOT A GOOD TIME IN OBAMANATION :lol: :lol: :lol:

POLL: G.W. Bush Advances in Esteem Yet Still with More Brush to Cut
SAUL LOEB/AFP/GettyImages(NEW YORK) -- After the most unpopular second term of the post-World War II era, George W. Bush has gained in public esteem as time since his presidency has passed – not that the public’s ready yet to throw him bouquets.

Just more than four years after he left office, with his presidential library about to open its doors, Americans divide on Bush’s performance during his tumultuous eight years as president: Forty-seven percent approve while 50 percent disapprove in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Albeit tepid, that score represents progress for Bush. His overall approval rating is 14 percentage points higher now than at the end of his second term; approval for his handling of the economy is 19 points higher, and he’s gained, although more slightly, on the Iraq war as well.

It’s not unusual for a former president to advance in public esteem after he’s left the fray of partisan politics, but neither is it guaranteed. In polls four to five years after the end of their presidencies, Bush’s father gained 18 points in approval, but Bill Clinton slipped by four and Ronald Reagan lost 12. (Reagan later improved in retrospect; it just took more time.)

Bush left office with just 33 percent approval, and a disapproval rating, 66 percent, that tied the disgraced Richard Nixon as the highest on record for a departing president in polls since the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. Bush’s approval rating on average across his second term, for its part, stands alone as the lowest on record in modern polling.

With his improvements since returning to Texas, Bush remains negatively rated on two central issues of his presidency, but more narrowly so than when he was in office. The public, by 53-43 percent, disapproves of his handling of the economy, compared with 73-24 percent in late 2008. And this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds that Americans by 57-40 percent disapprove of his decision to invade Iraq. That compares with a 65-33 percent negative rating for his handling the situation there in mid-2008.

Bush’s gains in approval are fairly broadly based, albeit still with sharp partisan and ideological gaps. His approval rating is up by 19 points among Democrats compared with when he left office, as well as by 16 points among Republicans and 11 points among independents. Still, though, just 25 percent Democrats now approve of his performance (it was a mere 6 percent when he left), as do 45 percent of independents and 84 percent of Republicans.

Bush’s rating has gained 10 points among liberals and 15 points among moderates, as well as 12 points among his core conservative supporters, albeit again with big gaps; just 21 percent of liberals approve, rising to 43 percent of moderates and 69 percent of conservatives.

Notably, there are three key groups among which Bush’s improvement has barely budged: Blacks, among whom his approval rating has gained seven points, to just 15 percent; young adults (age 18 to 29), up eight points to 34 percent; and middle- to upper-middle income Americans, in the $50,000-$100,000 bracket, up nine points to 48 percent approval for the former president. The first two are not statistically significant changes; the third is, slightly so.

Finally, there’s another way in which Bush’s ratings have mellowed. Intensity of opinion about his presidency was remarkably negative as he left office in January 2009; 51 percent of Americans “strongly” disapproved of his work in office, while just 16 percent approved strongly. Intensity of sentiment remains negative today, but less lopsidedly so -- 34 percent have a strongly negative view of his presidency, down 17 points, while 20 percent strongly approve

As we know Oldtimer still sits in the 34% that have a strongly negative views so he must feel deserted by those 17% of turncoats. :wink:
