WASHINGTON DC- Nationwide, citizens and patriots who appreciate good word play and a well-placed pun were shocked and disappointed by President Obama's immigration speech this evening.
In a speech from the White House, president Obama described the concept of prosecutorial discretion, saying that immigration enforcement would focus limited resources on deporting "Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mother who's working hard to provide for her kids."
This line no doubt resulted in huge sighs of disappointment from sea to shining sea.
"The President clearly missed an opportunity here, " said one Michigan resident. "It is obvious that the president should have made the bold statement, that we should be focusing on 'Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not GRANDMOTHERS.' Grandmothers ..." The man, visibly moved by his disappointment, fought back tears.
Another random citizen agreed:
"I mean, come on Obama. You got Felons and Families. F! You got Criminals and Children. C! You got Gang members and then... and then you just blew it!!! 'A mother who... blah blah blah.' Why didn't you just SAY GRANDMOTHERS! Or at least God Mothers... or something with matching letters. G - M mister president! Literary parallelism!!! "
In his response to the speech, Rand Paul seemingly agreed and was quoted as saying "We should take him to court." He was obviously talking about this as well.
The president was not available for comment on these accusations of poor word play.
