I dream of people like this columnist wearing a blindfold with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

The writer is so dumb as to confuse quality with quantity.

EJ Dionne is a special kind of smarmy, stupid, ignorant liberal. I won’t read his commentary any more.

The author is correct. He should do more. I think it’s time Obastard started picking his own clubs and shagging his own damned balls.

Apparently it’s the number not the content that matters.

I'm sure the WaPo would never say this about a Repub Prez. And comparing EO's of various Presidents is an apples and oranges thing.

EO's are supposed to be clarifying statements of existing law. The zero king is trying legislate from the Oval Office, but then that is something the Left wants. If we ever get another conservative Prez, watch the "news" media go nuts on him/her on any EO they issue.

Typical WaPo bulltweet ..... Our Dear Leader is rational and sane and sugar and spice, and everybody else is being an s.o.b. ....

I'll bet Kitty Graham would be squirming in her chair, to read this sequacious, toadying drivel. These guys' yingyangs are in Barky's pocket, and they have to know it.

They don’t call it the WAPO for nothing. It is the “Onion” for the mentally incompetent.

Take the matter of executive orders. According to the American Presidency Project at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Obama issued 147 executive orders in his first term. This compares with 173 in George W. Bush’s first term, 200 in Bill Clinton’s, 213 in Ronald Reagan’s and 320 in Jimmy Carter’s single term in office.

It's not the number, it's the subject of his executive orders.

Dionne is a cretin. Here is just a sampling of things said about Bush:

Democrat.com - "Bush was a dictator for 7 years."

buzzflash.com - Accused Bush of wanting to be a dictator based upon a quip/joke that Bush told about how dictators have it easy because they have no opposition.

irregulartimes.com - Referred to the Bush administration as embodying "totalitarian depravity."

Ralph Nader - Called Bush a "dictator."

I could list other examples for hours, yet I doubt the jolly E.J. Dionne ever objected to any of those characterizations.

It’s really something - making a whole career actually being paid to write mindless nonsense with absolutely no basis in fact.

To hear them talk, you would think our chief executive is modeling himself on the late Hugo Chavez and wants to seize dictatorial control.

And HOW is this not the truth?

one of the questions is NOT “how many” excecutive orders
Obama has issued versus some other president, but

in Obama’s case

how many such orders were not mere executive direction
in accordance with the laws that direection was given,
but how often the executive direction itself contravened
the authority given the executive in the legislation under which Obama was acting AGAINST, not in mere “interpretation” thereof

when the post refers to the GOP House not providing legislation, what the post really means that it had not provided legislation in agreement with what Obama said
would not be vetoed by him

as if, the House is somehow required to only pass legislation the executive wants


in sum, its a partisan screed from the post

Well, it's official. When WaPo has to deny something, that's when you know it's happening.
