I have the power
There you have it... He no longer needs a congress to act.
All Hail!

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday he would not wait for Congress to pass legislation to advance his policy priorities this year
quote:
Obama, speaking to reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House, foreshadowed his upcoming State of the Union address and what appeared to be a new messaging strategy by emphasizing his ability to take executive actions without approval from lawmakers.

"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions ... and I've got a phone that allows me to convene Americans from every walk of life,"

That's a good way to start a revolution.

right but how often is that phone calling everday citizens vs your own little political buddies. I'd bet one is daily and the other is never.
This my friends is tyranny. I can't get the votes I want so i'll just use all my power to force everything I can down your throat.

I said it when Obama was first elected and I'll say it again - Obama will be the last POTUS.
He could declare himself supreme ruler of the USA at the State of the Union. Who is going to stop him? The Repubes? SCOTUS?
He's already replaced most military Generals who would oppose him.

I pray to God he says that in the State of the Union.
Yeah, I believe in God and I don't like Obama. DWI

If Bush said this, the left would be screaming bloody murder.

Is he taking suggestions for what to do with the pen? I have an idea.

Considering the Boehner led GOP leadership is falling all over themselves to give Obama everything, I don't know what he's bitching about.
Posted on 1/15/14 at 7:14 am to darkhorse
I suppose Obama would rather checks and balances not exist.

There you have it... He no longer needs a congress to act.

quote:Hmmm. As much as it pains me to say this... Glenn Beck pointed out in 2009 that Obama seemed to be working toward making Congress irrelevant. It appears that doofus got it right.
