President Obama vowed to use his executive authority to usher in a "year of action" even if Congress remains gridlocked, he said in his weekly address.
"Where Congress isn’t acting, I’ll act on my own to put opportunity within reach for anyone who’s willing to work for it," the president said.
Obama pointed to a recent trip to North Carolina to announce the formation of a new public-private manufacturing institute as evidence of how he could act alone to spur economic activity.
"It’s a partnership between companies, colleges, and the federal government focused on making sure American businesses and American workers win the race for high-tech manufacturing and the jobs that come with it – jobs that can help people and communities willing to work hard punch their ticket into the middle class," Obama said.
In recent weeks, the White House has stressed that Obama would use a mixture of executive action and the bully pulpit — a "pen and phone strategy" — to rally the nation around his economic agenda.
On Thursday, Obama held a conference at the White House with university presidents and nonprofit groups designed to improve college access for low-income students.
At a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Obama said he would talk to agency heads about using "all the tools available to us, not just legislation, in order to advance" his policy priorities.
The president did outline some goals that he hoped to accomplish with the help of lawmakers.
“I want to work with Congress this year on proven ways to create jobs, like building infrastructure and fixing our broken immigration system,” Obama said.
“I’ll act on my own to put opportunity within reach for anyone who’s willing to work for it,” the president said”...
Well that eliminates 75% of the black population.
I am “friends” with AARP on Facebook just to see what they are saying. There is also an AARP Black Community. Almost all the comments on the regular AARP are very much against Obama and all the ones on the Black Community are very much for Obama, lavishing praise on him and Moochelle, no matter what the post is about. It boggles my mind that blacks blindly support this POS when he has made things much worse for blacks (at least those who want jobs). If he had light skin, he wouldn’t be anywhere near the White House.
FUBO and your dumbass supporters, too.
He has either watched too many hero movies, smoked too much pot, or has no ssituational awareness about the Constitution.
If he really feels like he can get away with it then I say go for it.
The sooner the country understands what thet are up against the better.
islamism
And Congress won’t do a damned thing about it.
Odumbo has been acting on his own since day one, he’s finally telling at least one truth.

I disagree with you. He has perfect situational awareness of the Constitution. It is us that lacks full situational awareness of the coup and what is being ushered in for the nation. Well ...ok...maybe folks on FR have a good idea, but it sure seems the congress critters elected to protect our nation against domestic enemies don't.
We have the Constitution.
Oh, and our side is armed, his doesn't believe in guns.
To paraphrase Inspector Kemp: "A civil var is an ungly thingk... undt, I tink, that it is chust about time ve had vun."
“Yes, I can!” - Barack Hussein Obama. A Kenyan’s Mein Kampf.
“2012=2014” I presume. Yes, you are right.
I have read some real challenging articles recently on the takeover of America, CIA Obama connections, and how the Republican politicians may be complicit in all of this global conspiracy...SAD Days for our country.
Thanks.
Freedom-hating Clown Prince nobama and his thug minions should be in prison.
Amen.
One of the main ideas about my comment is this - in doing so he will completely reveal himself as the illegal president that we know him to be in a way that even most of the die-hard koolaide drinking sycophants will be able to grasp.
I want him to get on top of that hill and proclaim the death of the Constitution. So people can nakedly see him for what and who hi is.
I do agree with you that its We the People, and our elected representatives must stand and hold him accountable.
91 million people without work and for five years he sings the same old song.
Obama si espone a tutti come un fascista queer che ora viene chiamato un utopico coercitivo per petalo morbido fatto. Mussolini avrebbe riconosciuto immediatamente.
Leggi qui, Obama l’Quintessential fascista:

Ora lascia calci il culo di Obama e di sbarazzarsi di lui per sempre.
