Obama: 'There Is Only So Much I Can Do on My Own' 11:36 AM, Jul 30, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER
In his latest email to supporters, President Obama bemoans his lack of political power. The email, sent today, is signed by Obama and sent to the list of Organizing for Action, his former reelection campaign group.
"Daniel," the email begins. "There is only so much I can do on my own."
The special interests know it, and they're counting on you to be silent on gun violence and climate change. They hope you're not paying attention to creating jobs or fixing our broken immigration system.
And they plan to make the loudest noise when your members of Congress come home for August recess.
I'm counting on you to be just as vocal -- to make sure the agenda that Americans voted for last year is front and center.
Say you'll do at least one thing as part of OFA's Action August in your community, no matter where you live.
I know it's easy to get frustrated by the pace of progress.
But it's not a reason to sit back and do nothing -- our system only works if you play your part.
If you don't let your representatives know where you stand in August, we risk losing an important battle on your home turf.
So I'm asking you to speak up -- commit to do at least one thing in your community during Action August:

Thanks,

“There is only so much damage I can do on my own”. There fixed it.
Wow....what a leader!
Did he phone this in from Martha’s Vinyard ?
No...like ‘sex-for-one’, which is about all he has been doing since he got to the WH
He aint alone.....Not by a long shot.
He owns the Media, He owns the Democrats in Congress, He owns McCain, Mitchell, Boehner, Pelosi, Reid and most of the leadership, and he says he is alone???????
This is one lying POS
All I can do alone, tell me another one scumbag.
“There is only so much I can do on my own.”
LUCKILY!
” He owns the Media, He owns the Democrats in Congress, He owns McCain, Mitchell, Boehner, Pelosi, Reid and most of the leadership, and he says he is alone???????

He has effectively bankrupted the USA, used the IRS as a mafia machine, and ignored the law and the Constitution. He has done more damage in a few years, than any POTUS in our history. and with the Republican leadership scared $hitless of him, I would say he has a bit of power.
Thank God!!!
Alone???? This Marxist is far from alone. He has academia, media and his all of his federal government to do his bidding. Oh and of course his leader, Valjar.
Wait I forgot he also has the mooselimb bros too.
“commit to do at least one thing in your community during Action August:”
Resist...and Turn Back the Communist Tide!
I also forgot to add.....McCain, Gramersy, Bohner and most of the GOP.
Mr. Obama there’s one thing you can do on your own to start turning things around in this country-resign.
Between campaign stops and speeches? Give me a f’n break.
Obama, for once, is right. By himself, he’s a big nothing. It is the Democrat party that must be dismantled. Liberalism is like The Hydra. It has many heads (abortion, homosexuality, etc...) and when you cut off one head, a new one grows back. The only way to stop it is to stop the heart. It has only one heart, and that heart is the Democrat party. Dismantle the Democrat party, and liberalism goes back to being a pipe dream.
Most people realize they are limited in what they can do on their own, and band together with others to achieve more than they could do individually. It doesn't mean you always agree 100% with the group goal, or methodologies, but do so either out of charity (volunteering) or self-interest (working for a living).
Obama thought that he would be able to rule by edict, but that pesky Constitution keeps getting in the way. But, when faced by opposition, his tactic has been to rally his supporters to shout down his opponents.
Obama refuses to compromise. He knows the Senate will ignore any meaningful legislation that addresses the deficit or regulation, so he doesn't have to actually take responsibility and veto anything.
He can continue to make the same campaign speech over and over, and a sycophantic state-run media will never point out that the campaign is over and it's time for him to start working with Congress to implement policy. But, he can't bother and instead uses his bully pulpit to accuse Republicans of being "obstructionist", when all they are really doing is refusing to rubber-stamp his brain-dead proposals that won't work, have never worked, and never will work.
When faced with the same opposition, Bill Clinton changed strategy and worked with the Republican Congress. Yes, there were some conflicts, but overall the checks and balances worked, and both sides compromised. During that period, we experienced a significant economic boon that was certainly helped by the Internet revolution, but the economic climate created by the Republican Congress planted the seed.
We have had pockets of economic success during the past 5 years, but Obama and the Democrats have been doing everything they can to snuff them out -- because it just wouldn't be fair for only a few people to succeed without spreading the wealth around.
You've done enough.
