Obama to bypass Congress in 2014, rule by agency decree
Daily Caller ^ | 01/26/2014 | Neil Munro

White House officials say President Barack Obama will aggressively use his control of federal agencies to impose his progressive agenda on the economy and society throughout 2014.

He’ll largely ignore GOP legislators, except to push GOP leaders to accept an amnesty for at least 12 million Democrat-leaning illegal immigrants, according to several White House officials who outlined the strategy to the Washington Post.

“Washington veterans have been brought into the West Wing to emphasize an executive style of governing that aims to sidestep Congress more often,” said the approving Washington Post article.

The new plan “is to bring all of the government alive in a way we have never been very good at,” said another official.

“We’ll be doing that as aggressively as possible…. and if we succeed, that is a big presidency,” a senior administration official told the Post.

Obama’s goals are more ambitious than what he had expected to get from the GOP after his 2012 reelection, an official said.

“Even in the best case — if the [GOP’s] fever had broken and the clouds had parted — we still would have only gotten maybe 40 percent of what we wanted,” said the official, who echoed Obama’s frequent description of the GOP’s conservative beliefs as the incoherent ravings of a sick patient.

The new “pen and phone” strategy appears to be a more aggressive version of the post 2010 “We Can’t Wait” strategy, in which Obama ha repeatedly promised to implement progressive policies when the GOP-led Congress refused to pass them.

When the imposter starts spewing this rhetoric at the Sate of the Union, how many republicans do you think will stand up and walk out? I can think of two that might have the courage to do so.

He should be held in contempt of congress, arrested and imprisoned.

He’s a power mad dictator who has discarded all pretense of Constitutional authority.

We were wrong when we said Obama thought he was King.

He thinks he is God.

"control of federal agencies"

Defund the agencies. File charges against agency heads.

Someone needs to ask Paul Ryan why the House should FUND these agencies that bypass their authority.

Numerous GOP legislators, including House Speaker John Boehner, have protested Obama’s unilateral actions as lawbreaking and unconstitutional.

So, John, when are you going to stop the pussy whining and actually DO something about this?

Less protest, more action.

So, OTrauma the Imperious will simply bypass Congress outright.

And in return, they should pass a bill he wants.

Makes sense.

“Bypass Congress..Not a good sign at all.. When will he be stopped ?”

Not until Boehner and the Republican House get the courage to fight him, by law and in the courts.

But it’s Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan - don’t expect anything from these guys - they’re too busy pushing amnesty.

When will he be stopped ?

If Congress worked for us, they could simply zero out funding for each and every Federal agency being misused in this manner. Congress can reduce the Administration to street beggars any time they want.

But since they don't actually work for us, Obama will be stopped when he gets too big for his britches and decides to act in opposition to the whims of the international banking cartel - something that despite his "progressive" mask he has never once done.
