Obama to Congress: We're not waiting for legislation
Sacramento Bee ^ | Jan 14, 2014 | Anita Kumar

Posted on 01/14/2014 5:43:24 PM PST by Innovative

President Barack Obama sent a message to Congress Tuesday: He plans to use his power whenever he can to move his agenda forward.

"We are not just going to be waiting for a legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need," Obama said before a Cabinet meeting. "I've got a pen and I’ve got a phone -- and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward."

Obama said he told members of his Cabinet the need to use all the tool available, not just legislation, to advance his mission.

Correct.

Obama deserves to be impeached. Folks need to say that over and over again. But instead they (you) say over and over that Obama will never be impeached. No message, no progress.

Funny how nine out of ten conservatives fall into that trap, isn't it?

Talk about self-fulfilling prophecies.

Obama is following the path to dictatorship as Caesar Chavez.

“Actually, Cornyn is rated among the most conservative of all senators, and for years he’s voted in line with fellow Republican senators more often than all but a few of his GOP colleagues.”

Yeah sure. After he's worked hand in glove behind the scenes with Hairy Reid to ensure that the liberals have the winning advantage. Only then does he cast his safe "conservative" vote.

I recommend #62. Back atcha.

Brace yourself. We’re not propping up RINOS this term either. They’re going down, again.

Yes, rebellion is hard and it’s risky, but don’t send us any more socialist R’s on the ticket if you don’t like the results you get.

This is what happens when you elect a president with no experience and no actual skills for the job. You get, “If you won’t play by my rules and let me win, I’m going to take my ball and go home”.

What I don’t understand is why some “conservatives” (note the quotes) are putting significant efforts into defeating a Republican, instead of focusing on defeating the Democrats.

Do you not understand that Cornyn is a back stabbing traitor of the first order, and only pretends to be a Republican?

That man has worked tirelessly in the U.S. Senate to defeat the will of the Tea Party and has done next to nothing to back up or support the junior Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz. He's a despicable quisling who is fully in league with the enemies of the republic.

“he might actually be able to get a few things done the legal way....

His main goal is to invalidate the Constitution. He will do so.

I have come to the conclusion it is racist not to impeach Obama.

Hot air!

Obama likes to talk to he himself talk.

Obamacare is collapsing, Democrats are running for cover and he is a lameduck.

Before he would be impeached and removed from office about 98 senators would have to be replaced. And all of the 98 have so much dirt on them they’ll never do anything that’s not in their “best interest”.

If impeachment were to happen, there would be massive protests. Then, hopefully, ten times as many patriots would counter protest. And all hell would break lose.

I hate to say it, but it’s going to take some patriots going against the constitution to stop those who are going against the constitution. I’m talking about a president getting elected who will take people like Mathews off the air for lying and inciting violence. And go after the country’s domestic enemies. Not someone who will say “I think we need to move forward.”

It wasn’t that long ago that the Republicans had majorities in the House and Senate, and the Presidency to boot. Nothing happened.

I'm not sure that is true. A lot happened and much of that not good. However, what has happened in the last 6 years has been disastrous to the nation. Much of the bad things that happened under Bush were the results of crap put in place by the Clinton administration but to take this back will take time and that starts by getting the Democrats out of power and then working on getting the Republicans to change or remove them from power as well.

Impeach him, and we know it won't pass but the process needs to be
initiated to bring all this to the publics attention. Not everyone like us
stay on top of these illegal unConstitutional actions. We have a process.

And that crap about Clinton keeping his favorability, so what. He wasn't
doing anything even close to what Zero and the Dems are doing right now.

Progress can only be achieved if the current crop of Democrats and liberal Republicans can be replaced. As it is now, the Republican Party as a whole is no longer conservative. There are a few possibly conservative members such as Ted Cruz, but there aren't enough of them. Electing more Republicans to both houses of congress won't accomplish the removal and destruction of the Obama regime if we are just going to bring in more cowards and communist collaborators.
