Obama already told you that actions have consequences.

This merely sounds like a way of absolving yourself of responsibility. It is also not the least bit constructive, if you actually care about our country.

And it is not really applicable to the crux of my point! The corporate class championed some actions, which are now resulting in more "consequences" that continue to benefit themselves? Who would have thought?!

And also, why is the refrain always "Obama, Obama, Obama" ? I didn't vote for that guy either.

You are stating an opinion. My point is that the administration is doing exactly what they were elected to do. This is what the people want.

This is better than the alternative: Kakala was promising you to protect the workers all the while being asleep at the wheel with millions of illegals across the border.

So your opinion, while interesting, is irrelevant. (Mine is too, FWIW). You just disagree with the electorate.

"You just disagree with the electorate" isn't a particularly novel insight when the overall point is that the electorate has made a large unforced error based on a siren song of feel good emotional populism. And while we can kind of detach and go "that's a herd of idiots for ya!", lifting that dynamic into the intellectual realm of discussion merely so you can continue gloating about the destruction isn't actually a logical argument, right?

I'm not particularly interested in engaging with your "Kakala ... illegals" security blanket. Harris was at least going to continue flying the plane (regardless of my not liking its destination), rather than being the gremlin on the wing bringing it down. That so many people voted gremlin just shows how out of touch and entitled we've become. Surprise, it's a long way down - enjoy the Chinese century that you're enthusiastically ushering in, I guess.

As the old saying goes: Don't blame me, I voted conservative.
