Politics in action. Its interesting it was CBS asking the question here: CBS reporter Major Garrett called out White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Monday over President Barack Obama’s claim that he is delaying executive action on immigration reform until after the midterm elections because he needs time to explain it to the American people. “Why does he need until the end of the year to explain something?” the reporter began. “Isn’t true that the dominant factor, if you want to call it static, was static from Senate Democrats saying… ‘Maybe you think it’s a good idea, but it’s terrible politics for us and we want you to wait until after the election.’ The president clearly doesn’t need nine weeks to explain this to the American people.” Garrett went on to say that the “only rational explanation for this is that intervening midterm election and fears from Senate Democrats that they did not want to take this issue on in the teeth of an already tough political environment.”
