“so why does he like Welfare?”

He’s trying to increase the number of citizens reliant upon government for their existence. It’s about 50% currently that one form or another citizens have become reliant for the beans on the table upon some form of government handout.

Same with food stamps. He’s making every effort through his control of the Agriculture Department to ensnare as many as possible into the food stamp program. They are even advertising to get people to sign up for food stamps.

The idea being nobody would vote against the man, the party that feeds them, clothes them, houses them, and of course takes so much good care of their health.

Typical of the mentality of the Left to use our money as taxpayers to provide them their ride. Use our money to enslave us.

Once the mold is set, the Presidency becomes a dictatorship

Too late. It's done. This President has gutted the constitution and the idea of representative government in this nation. For laws he doesn't like, he orders his agencies to not implement or enforce them. The congress does nothing, the courts have upheld his right to do it. For areas where he can't get a law passed, he just introduces regulations. Congress does nothing and the courts have upheld his right to do that too. There are no effective checks on Presidential power now. Even the power of the purse, which was congress' ultimate threat, has been given up; we haven't had a budget in years and everything just gets automatically funded with increases anyway. So the President doesn't need congress (as this clown has gone out of his way to prove) and he threatens the courts and they comply. What would Hugo Chavez have done differently?

As a last resort, we can always withhold the money that provides sustenance for the Dictator, the Welfare bums and the illegals until the proper adjustments are made. However, that would take unity and a lot of guts. I doubt we have many Patrick Henrys nowadays. I could be wrong though.

This is a clarion call to the men and women of the United States of America: make a stand NOW. You must make a peaceful and civil stand now! When you stand you shall stand upon the Constitution. We The People must say enough is enough! We have had enough of the Executive branch going around the Legislative Branch.

President Obama’s motivations matter not. The results of his actions matter not. The methods that Obama has used to impose his will are unacceptable. We have a Law and limits on Executive power for a reason. Look at the DOMA Law, the Immigration issue, and not this welfare issue. The more people there are on welfare, the less money there is for everyone on the welfare rolls. By allowing the States to ignore the searching-for-work requirement yes more people will jump on the welfare rolls. This will mean less money available for them and the people already on the welfare rolls.

The Law excluded the Search-for-Work requirement from being waived for a reason. Now, without
Congressional action, President Obama and his administration has rewritten the law. In doing so he and his admin. have violated the checks and balances. They have made law without the consent of the Legislature.

He may have the purest motives. His motives don’t change the fact that he is acting more like a Ruler than a Leader. Who do YOU, the People, want running the USA? A ruler or a leader:
