The Patriot Post® · Pelosi: Amnesty Just Like Emancipation Proclamation

Nancy Pelosi has a (revisionist) history lesson for us. Barack Obama’s coming amnesty is just like another famous order: “Does the public know that the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order?” she asked. “People have to understand how presidents have made change in our country.” Evidently, this is now a Democrat talking point. As we’ve said before, the Emancipation Proclamation freed no one, so perhaps in that sense, Obama’s lawless behavior will have similar results. Pelosi added, “[E]very time I’d say, ‘You wanna give me a clue as to what might be happening?’ He said, ‘It’s not going to be as much as you want.’ But in any case it’s going to be great.” No, it’s not.
