Presidenting is all about action, baby! And nobody knows that better than Barack Obama. During his $1.6 million post-campaign campaign speech today, he stressed the importance of “moving forward” on Shamnesty:
President Obama: "If Congress is unable to move forward in a timely fashion, I will send up a bill based on my proposal" #ImmigrationReform

Obama says if Congress doesn't act on immigration reform, he'll send up his own bill "and insist that they vote on it right away."

“Do what I want or else”? That’s our Barry!
Obama: If Congress fails, I will send up my own bill. . . #ooo

"We can't allow immigration reform to get bogged down in endless debate" –@barackobama, yeah, who needs debate anyway, whatever

Obama "will insist" congress vote on his bill. I forgot the "insist" clause in the Constitution.

So did we. Then again, since when has he let the Constitution stand in his way?
