On Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” Thursday morning, Senator Bob Corker discussed President Obama’s decision to issue an executive order on immigration.
“This president is not acting in strength, he is acting in weakness.
Unless lightning strikes, it will be the worst presidency in modern history,” said Senator Corker.
“There has to be a response, no question. But it has to be a response that enables us to continue to move our nation ahead, remembering that this president will be gone in two years,” Senator Corker continued. “He’s incredibly weak, and candidly, he is doing these things because he doesn’t have the ability to lead and is not willing to put the effort out to do the work to actually cause things to pass in Congress.”
Speaking about the need to fix the nation’s broken immigration system in a 2011 commencement address at Miami Dade College, President Obama said, “I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. But that’s not how democracy works… Changing our laws means doing the hard work of changing minds and changing votes, one by one.”
President Obama is expected to announce an executive order on immigration in an address to the nation tonight at 8 p.m.
