[Washington Post] The word of the day is herky-jerky, which is a polite way of saying erratic.And which, I regret to report, is a fitting description of President B.O.'s handling of immigration. And, I regret even more, a metaphor for his stumbling stewardship.
To recap and add perspective: The country's immigration policy is broken, with 11 million undocumented immigrants forced to live in the shadows. That this situation endures is the fault of House Republicans who, captive to a gerrymandered, cable-inflamed populace that greets every reasonable solution with cries of "amnesty," have rejected any comprehensive solution.
I blame faulty decision making tools.
