Congress isn’t going to give him more power. He’s going to take it.

Yes, absolutely. Along as it’s going from 220 volts to 4160 with an extra shot of water.

Doesn’t matter whether they do. If they don’t, he’ll just try and take it, and without a real opposition party in this country he’ll get away with it.

If Obozo wants more “power”, he could ask Tim “the tool man” Taylor to strap an ICBM to his backside and light it off.

The way the answers are listed tells me all I need to know about the bias at Fox...We got rid of TV four years ago and have never been happier with a decision, and this is just icing on the cake!

I think it's a POTUS or three past time for congress to start doing it's job. Congress needs too stop enabling the creation of a dictatorship in the Executive Branch. No I don't care which party is in power allowing it and Congress was very wrong to expand Executive authority under Bush as well. Obama can start by firing all his created Czar positions. Also revoke all federal departments created under Bush. Those should not ever been allowed.

Obama needs to be impeached. Actually WE need Obama impeached. I agree. We need to impeach Presidents for merely attempting to usurp the Constitution, and it should have started with the previous President Bush with his Patriot Act and other major theft of liberty issues. The Constitution is more than just a piece of paper. Presidents need to be fearful of usurping it.
When a POTUS is impeached it is reminiscent of the misbehaving kid who gets his fingers slapped. It resets the bar and creates new respect for the oath of office and the requirement for the POTUS to respect us instead of creating a desire to expand the imperial Presidency. The function beats a revolution and it, the investigation, needs to be diligently used.
The tendency today is not for aggressive enforcement. Instead both Parties let it all slide for fear that an investigation may lead to stuff they don't want exposed.

He’s using this as a latest ploy to make the Repubs in Congress look bad.

Well, as vanguard of the Constitution, Ron Paul should jump all over this.
