How the Gallarraga controversy relates directly to Obama

Hi folks,

I just sent the following letter to Limbaugh, wonder if he will pick up on it.

Hi Rush,
 
Too me a lot of folks just flat do not get it.  Your fill in host today said he generally believes that rules should not get in the way of doing what is right.  Pretty simple statement on the face of it.
 
So those who want the call reversed want the rules bent because of what they see as an injustice to the young pitcher who pitched one heck of a game.
 
Rush, isn't that exactly what Obama is doing regarding the immigrations situation in Arizona?  He is ignoring, bending the laws because of what he feels is an injustice. 
 
I do not want the president, nor the commissioner of any sports league to have that kind of power.  Change the rules, not the call.
 
If the baseball ownership wants to get out of the dark ages and use technology to help the officials like football and hockey do, then should then get together, come up with a plan and vote on it with the majority getting their way.  Same hold true with the immigration issue.  If Obama wants the laws changed fine, have a debate, make a stand and let congress vote.  If the majority pass a new bill and he signs it then that is the law.  In the meantime you play by the current rules that are in place.
 
Instead we have a damn president running around choosing which rules to enforce and which to ignore because of all the so called injustices he sees in the world.  His entire agenda is "social justice", regardless of the Constitution and the laws that are in place.
 
Rush, I fail to see any difference in the situation, the concept is the same in either case.
 
Best personal regards,
