Obama is moving faster and faster - how do we keep up? What can we do?

Executive orders seem to be coming out more often; lawlessness on his part increasing; allowing and facilitating the invasion of the USA from the southern border; dismantling and mistreatment of our own military; more and more direct and in your face comments toward US citizens who disagree with him; punishment of states, organizations, and individuals using the Federal Government; further restrictions on energy use; continuous dividing and pitting Americans against each other; the list goes on - Republicans do nothing and have proven to be worthless.
Obama still has two years - at the rate he and his government are going, where will we be as a nation come Jan 2016? Is it too late?
This is all very frustrating when it seems there is nothing we can do to correct this mess.

The more time that passes, I'm slowly subscribing to the philosophy of many of you here - that the R's and D's are in fact one in the same. I think both sides benefit in one form or another when there is faux-outrage.....meanwhile they are probably having drinks after work.

99% of them are cut from the same cloth. They all have the same agenda. The money just goes to someone different depending on which side you are on.

Not saying you don't have just cause to feel this way but I'm not buying into that just yet. Granted there is a segment of the Republican party that isn't my cup of tea. The Boehners, the McCains, the Grahams, should all go the way of the dodo bird but there remains a significant divide between the parties. Hopefully the Cantor defeat will open some republican eyes. There is nothing that will open democratic eyes.

Things will change when the Senate flips. It better!

Most of the items you listed didn't just magically start or become a problem in 2009, but at least people are waking up I guess. Problem is, Mitt probably would have been just as bad, if not worse, had he been elected in 2012.

That is what Obama wants.

Why would it? He just signed an executive order mandating that Louisiana cut carbon emissions by 40%. What could a republican Senate that still includes plenty of McCain-esque characters do to stop that? They've proven themselves too incompetent to impeach Obama. The media is too in the tank to investigate the White House. If the Journalist Wire-tap scandal wasn't enough to cause them to revolt, then nothing is. Obama has too much power. The only way to defeat him is at the ballot box in 2 years.

This board (to a certain extent anyway
) has introduced me to a different way of analytical thinking when it comes to politics and fortunately I can cut through the trashing of the President just to trash him. The thing that boggles my mind daily is how people would rather protect their party than protect their country - is this the fracturing of 'Murica? I would hope not. And this goes for both parties, not just D's.

Nah. They both have a vested interest in propping up the system.

Too bad the weirdo Dennis Kucinich is no longer in the House. He would have had the stones to call Obama out.

How much worse off are we now than we were on January 21, 2009?
Are we still the same nation?

I would keep my children out of malls around Christmas time, perfect time for some jihad action. The speed in which a released prisoner can take over a country is the speed in which shite can start happening at home.

Romney wouldn't have been the lying deceptive pos that Obama us. I think he would have worked across the aisle with Congress and stabilized the country. I don't think he would have been great but he would have done better than Bush or Obama. Think Clinton but with morals

Nov elections. If the republicans take over the senate, we will see if they have a backbone! If not......
Welcome to the new US........

You're right in a sense, bob...but your point is related to POLIITICAL POWER. Just what do you think that a 40% jump in energy costs will do for Obama's political power? The ME foreign policy debacle? Meltdown of the healthcare mechanism? Shrinking economy, thanks in part to "skyrocketing electricity"? Open borders...with Stingers floating around the globe in the hands of AQ and masses of illegals flocking to the US for shrinking services?
It won't be the gutless Republicans that bring about SUBSTANTIAL changes...it'll be the scenarios brought about by Obama/Prog insanity that will FORCE change upon the populous. Of course, the (Alinskyite) Progressive fools believe that such a (manufactured) "crisis" will play into their hands.
Book it; when they start trying to herd this bunch of cats, with the blame for all this mess falling squarely in Obama's lap...that will be the end of this feckless Ideological/political exercise in madness. Might not be pretty, but it'll be more efficient.

You can't just "undo" The Dream Act and the whole can of worms that opened.
