Stephanopoulos Catches Emperor Obama In Another Royal Amnesty Lie
Stephanopoulos Catches Emperor Obama In Another Royal Lie
Truth Revolt
11.23.2014
Caleb Howe
On ABC's This Week Sunday, host George Stephanopoulos aired portions of his interview with President Obama, during which he extensively covered the President's recent immigration action. Critics have called Obama's exective action "overreach" and characterized it as an unlawful power grab. The President himself once referred to such a move as being like an emperor or a king.
Obama has tried to say, and tried in this interview to repeat, that he was only talking about a very specific circumstance with his emperor comments. He only meant halting deportations would be king-like, you see. The tape, however, tells a different tale, as Stephanopoulos demonstrated. After viewing the video, the President simply had no answer for it except to continue repeating his talking points.
The fact is, the President said that doing exactly what he just did would be acting like an emperor. That is what he said. That's what the video shows him saying, it was specific to the circumstance that he acted on this week, and it was not specific to a different circumstance. And he was right.
It is what he said. For him to claim otherwise is just one more lie.
Here is the full clip.

Pres. Obama Fumble Easy Question on Precedent
By Barbara Boland | 12 hours ago
President Obama completely fumbles when George Stephanopolous asks him how he’d respond if a future president takes the same action on taxes that Obama has taken on immigration. Incredibly, Obama responds as if he’d never heard or thought of this argument before, stumbling blindly along immigration talking points without answering the actual question.
Stephanopolous asked: “How do you respond to the argument, a future president comes in and wants lower taxes. Doesn’t happen. Congress won’t do it; so he says ‘I’m not going to prosecute those who don’t pay capital gains tax.’”
“The truth of the matter is George,” said the President, haltingly, “The reason that we, have to do.. uhm prosecutorial discretion in immigration, is that we know, that we – are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time…” Obama then pivoted to immigration talking points, without addressing the original question.
“The vast majority of folks understand that they need to pay taxes, and when we conduct an audit, for example, we are selecting those folks who are most likely to be cheating,” said Obama. “We’re not going after millions and millions of people who everybody knows are here and were taking advantage of low wages as they’re mowing lawns or cleaning out bedpans, and looking the other way.”
“So you don’t think it’d be legitimate for a future president to make that argument?” Stephanopoulos said.
Obama: “With respect to taxes? Absolutely not.”
The question, which has been floating around the internet since Obama gave his immigration speech, deserves an answer, but the President would prefer to punt it seems.
