In a speech he gave in front of the National Council of La Raza, Obama made it clear where he stands of immigration reform, and many other issues. Without getting into the debate about what would be proper immigration reform the important thing that was brought up was about how Obama would go about reform if he could. Obama told the council, "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions".
     Regardless of whether or not this is a desperate campaign speech trying to drum up Hispanic votes no president of this country should take such words lightly. As President he should have the utmost respect for the foundation principles of our country.The desire to circumvent the legislative branch of the government is the desire to ignore the supposed voice of the people.
    This is just another example of the power hungry politician showing his true colors. Lets hope they are only words. If one day down the road these words become action with this President or another never forget there was a warning and we didn't take it seriously. Liberty must be guarded with vigor and relentlessness.
