Pundits who depict Obama as a weak, lame-duck president may be greatly misjudging him, as they have so often in the past. Despite the Republican sweep of elections across the country last week, President Obama has issued an ultimatum to Congress, to either pass the kind of immigration law he wants before the end of this year or he will issue executive orders changing the country’s immigration laws unilaterally.
Does that sound like a lame-duck president?
On the contrary, it sounds more like some banana republic’s dictator.
