The -- not too long before the Department of Homeland Security issues are proposing new order making it easier for immigrants.

Two -- -- an immediate family members of immigrants to apply for permanent residency so it's more backdoor amnesty he can't get.

About in the book because President Bush came under a lot of fire for against so called imperial -- writes me.

For bypassing congress it was more in the field of national security -- yes bush was post 9/11 he did a lot of things that people felt were unprecedented and inappropriate.

Because they weren't.

-- didn't have the approval of congress you talk in this book about how in your view that is nothing compared to what Barack Obama has -- Not to mention that Obama is going around killing people he may not be interrogating enhanced in -- I drugs yes so so he's done a lot of things he criticized bush for.

But on other fronts Obama's just been completely lawless and and violent and of the constitution.

Recess appointments when the senate wasn't even and risk recess of the panel are being members which -- used within a very bipartisan process Richard court -- to the community finance protection board.

When he has a congress that he views as obstructionist.

Why is getting increasingly that way it seems that Obama's taken it to a new level.

It used to be that presidents who didn't agree with the constitutionality of the law might be lax on its enforcement -- might refuse to force.

But John you and on ricochet hit.

I written a post and talked about how this is an impressive because he did this on immigration holy for policy reasons there's no culpable claim that it's unconstitutional.

That that.

And immigration laws that are on the books right at that everybody that that's correct the deportation it's there's a lot of controversy about that now I want to ask you is this.

Is this kind of thing that people may recognize him famous last name yes and there is a relation yes -- yes so it's physically I think you and rush -- argue but as he'll go through this and say you're being too tough on Obama I'll.

It's -- -- know not well not exactly would ground me if I wasn't as tough on -- David Limbaugh the book is called the great destroyer it is available now we appreciate being thank you so much made all of us Richard it is.
