Chutzpah....or....... Brass Cojones

Brass Cojones Award
I worked up in the NY city area for a few years and became familiar with the Yiddish term, "Chutzpah'.....  the c is silent.  meaning audacity, temerity, nerve.

Down here in Texas, out synonym for this same word would be 'Brass Cojones' !!!  meaning - obvious to all....

I thought of these words when I read Obamanation's new press secretary Josh Earnest' headline comment this morning.... as in: "We are not just going to sit around and wait" for Congress to write new immigration laws....   

He went on: “[W]e’re not just going to sit around and wait interminably for Congress,” he explained. “We’ve been waiting a year already. The president has tasked his Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson with reviewing what options are available to the president, what is at his disposal using his executive authority to try to address some of the problems that have been created by our broken immigration system.” 

I wonder why it never occurs to anybody in that White House 'come Ivory Tower' that if the POTUS would just fulfill the words of his Oath of Office - and execute the laws of the United States of America and protect the Constitution - we wouldn't have a 'broken immigration system'!!

His BO'ness was the one that decided to stop enforcing the laws of the land - to invite the flood of thousands of teen-age gang members, to stop shipping illegals (yes, I said illegals, not Undocumented Americans) back to their country.  To stop protecting our borders....   

Do we need to update our immigration and border laws? Sure! 
Do we need a 'comprehensive immigration and amnesty' law passed by congress? Hell no!

We need the Congress to do it's job and the Chief Executive to do his.....  The American voters hired him in the naive belief that he would take his sworn oath seriously.......  more fool they!!! 

It's not a complicated Oath to understand.... even for a Chicago community organizer/lawyer"

The Presidential Oath of Office

The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
That wasn't hard to understand now, was it?
