Rand Paul says regarding Obama's executive action on amnesty that he can't defend the indefensible - in other words he can't simply ignore logic and reality and the reasonable objective norms of common sense - ahhh... yes he can, he's built a political career on doing precisely that because if the press and media are not going to challenge your lies and gibberish then lies and gibberish become pretty effective political tools - and with no election left to fight he's doubly free to sling bullshit wherever he pleases.
All Obama needs is for the media to protect him just enough so that his approval rating hangs around 40% and then he can move forward as if he has some kind of legitimate mandate - he starts slipping to 35 or 30% approval rating then not even his friends in the media can save his credibility and Democrats in Congress will start to harbor grave concerns about how much irreparable damage the guy is doing to the party. But I tend not to believe his approval rating will sink that low especially with the media running cover for him - Romney said the number was 47% but I'm guessing that probably overstated things a bit, but certainly roughly 40% of the electorate doesn't care about facts and is gonna believe Obama no matter how full of shit what he says is and are gonna continue to support him. I mean look at the poll numbers regarding the Ferguson grand jury decision - more than 40% of people thought it was wrong - you either have to be an idiot or unmoved by facts and reality to think that - and so it is that Obama believes he can get away with whatever his ideological arrogance desires to attempt.
