Obama uses executive orders as a political tool
CNN ^ | Nov. 1, 2011 | Tom Cohen

Posted on 11/01/2011 8:38:37 PM PDT by Innovative

President Barack Obama is crafting his own laws of political physics these days, insisting that inaction by a divided Congress requires White House action in order to get something done.

A campaign labeled "We Can't Wait" pushes unilateral directives and programs from the White House as the only way to push ahead on the president's agenda when a do-nothing Congress fails to act.

If he needs a catchy name for this form of government, I would suggest "scientific socialism".

Well, we know what happened to one king who thought he could trample on his "subjects"

Payback is a b!tch.

This from CNN? Something weird is up on the left. They are putting up an “diss Obama” front. I’ve seen other signs. Beware.

Obama is going to try to accomplish the rest of his “goals” in office (his leftist agenda that is unfinished) before he loses in 2012. He knows the odds are high that he will lose, and now, with a split Congress he can’t accomplish the rest of his agenda unless he does it by fiat, using his executive order pen. And so he will. Let’s see what the Pubs do to stop him, if anything can be done.

CNN's been coming down on Obamarx for a while now. Most of them are Hitlery supporters so this doesn't really surprise me. They've only carried BHO's water this long simply because he's a Dem. But he's botched everything so badly, they're now turning on him.

We need an opposition party. Just repeating my tagline.

Someone as poorly educated and egotistical as Jugears should be briefed on the fact that Louis XVI could have been buried in two different sized boxes. He also thought he could side step the Will of the People. Chewy the WideLoad might also be reminded about Louis’ wife...

The Republican candidate will have a long list of E.O.’s to cancel and campaign on/against.

He is more powerful than a King because we allow him to be. Cain may give the c**t another four years! (Pardon my language but I hate what the guy is doing to us.)

Where is the GOP? They control the House and defund any of Obama’s illegal KING-LIKE activities.

Come out from under your desks, and hold a press conference and tell the people what your plan is to stop this, and to impeach Holder.

I fear it is only the Senate that can stop Obamao and Reid, the incompetent, is in charge there. Obama is now just a dictator. He must be stopped but who will do it?

This helps make sense of Reid not bringing legislation from the House up for a vote. Lays the groundwork for Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” campaign.
