CLEVELAND, November 15, 2014 - Under the category of unbelievable or perhaps delusional liberal gaffes, a democrat congressman is comparing Obama's (threatened) unilateral action on immigration to Lincoln's decision to free the slaves.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) announced this week that President Barack Obama, who did nothing to push through immigration reform when he and the democrats controlled the White House and congress; is the second coming of President Lincoln, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
A memo was leaked by the White House that strongly suggests that Obama intends to announce a ten-point immigration reform executive order which will allow millions of illegal immigrants to live and work legally in the United States. Rep. Johnson apparently has avoided the legal fact that these same millions of illegal immigrants are breaking the law.
Instead, the congressman insists that Obama will be regarded with the same historical standing as Lincoln, who freed millions of black slaves who were held in servitude for nearly two hundred years.
'They're protecting an economic order that makes its living off of cheap labor, just like slavery. You entice people from across the border to come here and you pay them sub-wages and you keep them in an underground economy and you refuse to let them out. Those people work hard. They have played by the rules. They have built this country. ...
'One day there will be movies written about this episode in American history. There will be a president who issues an executive order like the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed 3 to 4 million slaves with the signing of a pen. There will be some bold leaders in the Congress trying to move those who try to cling to the status quo. ...
'In the end of the movie Congress will - there will be some bold action in Congress by congressional leaders to force the others to do what is right. And it may take a little bit more time, but I'm proud to stand here with those who have been fighting for a long time and those who have the strength to continue to fight until we get this done.
'I also want to say to President Obama: We have your back. Don't worry about it. Do the right thing. Let's make it happen.'
Far from being celebrated the very action that the president is considering may very well lead to a new American insurrection.
Already there are pitched outcries from conservative and republican ranks as well as disappointment from blacks who increasingly feel insulted and betrayed by his lack of presidential action on problems and concerns in the black community.
Rep. Johnson seems to have forgotten that his own native state of Georgia actually is suffering from the worst unemployment in the nation. The facts are startling. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia's unemployment rate was 8.1 percent which was the highest rate of all 50 states.
Obama has issued no executive order to end joblessness in Georgia's urban cities or even in his own home city of Chicago.
The Commander-in-Chief has been missing in action which is why many blacks in Georgia as well as in other minority communities around the nation have openly challenged Obama's commitment to the black community, whose ancestor's Lincoln actually did free.
Has the congressional representative forgotten the throes of anguish that President Lincoln dealt with as he worked fervently to bring about an ending to a Civil War that nearly destroyed a nation to insure freedom from slavery? The illegal immigrants made a choice to break the law to enter the United States and were not brought here against their will. They are not slaves and are free to return to their true homes.
Unlike Lincoln, Obama shows no anguish in his decision making process.
There is seemingly no heart or soul searching apparent in how making the decision to 'free' the illegal immigrants from what Rep. Johnson believes to be their difficulties at evading the law. The point of the matter is clear to any law abiding American, and that is blacks were set free from bondage by Lincoln's Executive Order, and Obama wants to 'free' the illegal immigrants from obeying the law.
The Georgia democrat of course does not see it that way.
Instead he says, 'One day there will be movies written about this episode in American history.' He added in his remarks, 'There will be a president who issues an executive order like the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed three to four million slaves with the signing of a pen.'
To be quite frank, it seems that the voters of his congressional district should definitely ask for a recount or a revote, because the Hollywood version of his fantasy ends with the congress taking bold action initiated by congressional leaders. Supposedly inspired by the president these Capitol Hill leaders will be forced to, 'to do what is right.'
This is about the right time to inject a little reality into the mix and suggest that once the congressman's dream phase has ended he will come to realize that the congressional leadership will most certainly do the right thing, and that is to deny him funding for his actions or move for articles of impeachment.
Either way, Johnson's version of the Obama movie saga will have to end up on the cutting room floor.
