Should Congress give President Obama more power?

Fox News Poll ^ | 13 Jan 2012

[animal172]

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

[proud American in Canada]

Absolutely not.

[tbpiper]

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

[JamesA]

The sob works for me (and you) and I say NO, your fired.

[Colonel_Flagg]

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.

[mountainlion]

10,000 Volts ought to do the job.

[SoldierDad]

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

[dynachrome]

How 'bout we make him "Reichschancellor and Presidentof the Republic"?

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I was looking for the “GOOD GAWD NO!!!!!” option.

[gorush]

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.

You speak for most of us - “Oh Hell No!”

[llandres]

He just created a new cabinet post today apart from this other smoke and mirror crap.

[llandres]

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

[llandres]

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

What we need to bring up is that at the same time today, he created a new Cabinet post - the SBA.

[llandres]

Well, those and the Yes voters. Together, enough to swing an election.

[llandres]

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

Bets, anyone?
