Of Course: Obama Threatens to Assume More Power, Promising a "Year of Action" With or Without Congress
— Ace

The more unpopular a President becomes, and the less support he finds in Congress, the more unilateral executive law-making authority flows to him. It's in the Constitution.

What, you didn't know that the Constitution imposes checks and balances on popular Presidents but gifts unpopular ones with untrammeled executive power? It's in one of the Secret Clauses written in invisible ink. I think Nick Cage mentioned it in National Treasure 2.

President Barack Obama put lawmakers on notice during his first official cabinet meeting of the year, telling his top deputies that his 2014 agenda will move forward whether Congress votes for it or not.

...


“One of the things I’ll be emphasizing in this meeting,” he said, “is the fact that we are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need.”

“I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” the president asserted, “and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating.”

All "those jobs that our businesses are creating." It's a river of bullshit with an unconstitutional, anti-American threat to usurp the law-making power at the end of it.

At first, I thought that Obama was solely motivated by his leftist ideology.

Over time, I have begun to notice more and more how much he is motivated by insecurity.  His domestic agenda is a failure by almost any measure, so now he wants to stick it to the conservatives.  He really needs to "win".

55 When Obama talks about 'creating jobs', he means more government jobs.
Obama employes people the way Al Capone did.

The more people who come to Obama for jobs and hand outs, the more power he has, and that's what he is talking about here.

194 Can somebody explain the idea behind executive orders to me?

Executive orders are supposed to be limited to matters addressing the operation of the executive branch, of which the president is the Chief Executive.  For instance, the president couldn't make an executive order requiring private businesses to have have certain percentages of minority hires (that would have to come from Congress) but he can order that the executive branch agencies cannot contract with private businesses that don't have correct "diversity" numbers.

202 Security expert -- and once the world's most-wanted cyber criminal -- Kevin Mitnick submitted a scathing criticism to a House panel Thursday of ObamaCare's Healthcare.gov website, calling the protections built into the site "shameful" and "minimal." In a letter submitted as testimony to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, Mitnick wrote: "It's shameful the team that built the Healthcare.gov site implemented minimal, if any, security best practices to mitigate the significant risk of a system compromise." Mitnick's letter, submitted to panel Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, and ranking member Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, held comments from several leading security experts. Mitnick concluded that, "After reading the documents provided by David Kennedy that detailed numerous security vulnerabilities associated with the Healthcare.gov Website, it's clear that the management team did not consider security as a priority." Hey obama, stick your finger and pen in that

203 Wrong. It's Harry Reid. As long as Reid is Obama's rubber stamp...inasmuch as he will never, ever refuse Obama anything or hold him accountable, then Congress is unable to do anything to oppose Obama. period. That's the bicameral legislature for you. The president's power is greatest when working with congress, so-so when congress is divided, and bupkis when congress is opposed. So, all the dickless posturing by the GOP since 2006, letting Congress slip from their hands because of all the various fuckups we've all noted since George Bush's evangelical faith led him to stop defending himself and his party, has given the Senate to a bunch of fuckups and perverts and non-entities like Reid, Jim Webb, Al Franken etc. It doesn't help that the continued demographic suicide of this country has basically ceded many formerly normal states into superblues, giving us communists like in Massachusetts. I don't know, as long as the Senate is owned by Reid, then Obama can do as much as he can get away with. I don't see why dickless Boehner would negotiate with Obama at this point...it's inadvertently giving Obama more power as he will ignore or waive any provision that is designed to restrain him.

I dunno. One can fault President Obama on any number of issues but I don't think he's ever been shy about stating his goals and his willingness to do whatever it took to achieve them.  True believers in the MSM have portrayed Obama as a left-of-center moderate. The man himself has always been more forthcoming about himself than his followers in the press, or at least as forthcoming as a Chicago machine politician with Marxist sympathies is likely to be.

261 Fargo Man Arrested For Clearing Snow With Flamethrower - Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white bull shit”. Fargo, ND – Local resident Todd Fox has been detained for “reckless endangerment” and “illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry” for attacking snow with his flamethrower. Fox reportedly became so fed up with the week-long blowing snow epidemic in his area that he decided to KILL IT WITH FIRE. The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over hell,” which prompted one of them to notify police. Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white bull shit.” Police say that Fox surrendered his efforts immediately upon their arrival and that his front yard “looked like a hydrogen bomb had gone off.” They think he was just happy to be done with snow removal, even if it did mean a trip to jail.

285 The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over hell,” which prompted one of them to notify police. In Montreal they had flamethrower guys on the city's payroll. They filled up parking lots with mountains of snow, dumped snow in the river, and then when they needed to fill up the parking lots again, guys with flamethrowers would melt the piles.

How much of an oopsie does it take for your neighbor to set your roof on fire? 3. A flamethrower isn't a typical "tool". I'd be worried if my neighbor pulled out a rifle to cut down a tree.

Obamacare Lies

Obamacare is a travesty
Forced down our throats by his majesty.
Lied to us from the very first day
Just take a pain pill and go away.

Liberals continue to lie to us
And says Obamacare is a definite must.
A ‘death panel’ does not truly exist
Another LIE from this socialist.

Another LIE we all can see
That it will cost less for you and me.
Prices have doubled and tripled for us
Continued LIES from this socialist.

Doctors are leaving due to this mess
Causing the elderly and all undue stress.
Millions have lost their health care plan
Due to the LIES from this corrupt man.

America no longer the ‘land of the free’
Due to Obama and the dem party !
The dem party
ceased to exist
Replaced with the lies of socialists !!

Have we become sheep in this once great land
To be dictated too by a corrupt socialist man?
Millions need to descend on DC
Take America back from this tyranny !
