Obama's desperate pander to Hispanics

Washington Post:

U.S. to stop deporting some illigal immigrants who came as kids

He knows they are not energize to support him.  Romney is making a argument that Obama's economic policies have harmed Hispanic businesses and Obama responds with a proposal that does not address the most important issue to Hispanics.  Appealing to tribalism is not a response to the economic fact that impact Hispanic voters.  Since illegals are not supposed to vote this is just another meaningless play to emotions.

Republicans argue that the Obama policy violates his oath of office.
...Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the change marks "a breach of faith with the American people." 
“This huge policy shift has horrible consequences for unemployed Americans looking for jobs and violates President Obama’s oath to uphold the laws of this land," Smith said in a statement. 
“How can the administration justify allowing illegal immigrants to work in the U.S. when millions of Americans are unemployed?” he added. “President Obama and his administration once again have put partisan politics and illegal immigrants ahead of the rule of law and the American people.”...
I don't think Obama has a good answer to those questions.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
