Obama 2007: "...we've seen an unnacceptable abuse of power at home." [GWB use of Exec. Orders]

Obama won't "sit and wait for Congress" --- but that is now, not 2007.

Candidate Obama 2007, speaking against GWB use of Executive Orders:

"These last few years we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power at home. We've paid a heavy price for having a president whose priority is expanding his own poawer."

George W Bush's use of Executive Power (the pen and the phone) didn't even come close to Clinton's use of this.

Most politicians are hypocrites; Obama exceptionally so.

That’s not a contradiction. The prevaricator-in-chief has merely “pivoted”, following the “evolving” of his position.

Right, Jay?

Same leftist pretzel logic again:

1. What Bush did was bad.
2. 0bama does even more of it.
3. But it's OK because Bush did it.
4. And it's still Bush's fault.

You may well be right.

And that fits well with the Dem strategy of funding libertarians to bleed R votes.

The entitlement army by itself is enough to produce a Clintonian plurality win.

This is standard leftist procedure. Do what you condemned normal people for doing, and get praised for it by the media.
