Damn. I'm going to have to drop this bomb of knowledge on my parents tomorrow. I consider myself pretty conservative, but my parents are beyond annoying. All my mom does is watch Fox News. I don't know what is worse when I'm home from school:

1. Turning the TV on to Fox News every time.
2. Noticing that my mom is watching the standard definition channel on the HD TV. EVERY DAMN TIME.

My mom is the type of person who states facts like "Obama is a Muslim." She voted Democrat when my dad married her.

They should've been making the argument that it's the substance of the EO's they have a problem with.

I hope you let them know of their critical error. Misinformation is never a good thing.

I had to go all the way back to President Grover Cleveland to find a president that issued EO's at a lower rate.

Great president.

My mom still does this. I turn it to the HD channel for her and she always replies "looks the same to me"

Amazing huh.

And if you listen to this board this Obama guy thinks he is a king with all the orders he has issued.

Oh wait, you mean Reagan did it too?

Nevermind

Let me explain this to you so as even a dumb azz can understand it.

The amount of executive orders don't mean shyt.

A 100 tweaks or 500 don't mean shyt.

But 50 REWRITING'S OF LAWS whilst by passing congress is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Even a dumb azz should understand the difference.

What will really be more interesting is their response when confronted with incontrovertible factual evidence to the contrary. Let us know how it goes!!!

Really? You are "aware"?
In this case that's about like saying I'm aware there is a difference between public protest and self-immolation, but . . . .

The difference is a chasm of separation.
EO's are traditionally used to enhance/enable the Executive's execution of Congressional directives, not to contravene them.

Think Iran-Contra justified as an EO.
That is the basic difference here.

It is unhealthy now. It would be unhealthy at any point. It violates the principles of our government. Imagine Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman, or ElizabethCherokeeWarren with unfettered EO authority. The abject idiocy is anyone defending this BS on simple basis that it's their guy doing it. At some point the political viewpoint of a new EO-empowered POTUS will diametrically change. I guess our currently short-sighted Obamabots will scream bloody murder at that stage.

Are you under the remotest of opinions that Obama has not circumvented law and/or rewritten it, ignoring Congressional directive in the process?

Seriously?

Is that your impression?

Can you seriously not name a few of the 50 you claim he has signed?

I have no idea if the number is 5, 15, 50, or 61.5.

I do know he has changed law against Congressional directive. I do know he has directed the AG to not enforce existing law. The number of times >1 is almost irrelevant IMO.

So, again: Are you under the remotest of opinions that Obama has not circumvented law and/or rewritten it, ignoring Congressional directive in the process?

Obama goes around Congress to forge "legally binding" climate regs with the UN

This is a good example of the difference between the two...

I dont think he understands how many time Obama has lost in court due to by-passing congress.
