Not buying it.
Obama is prepared to go The Full Mussolini with his phone and his pen.
agreed. He will spend the next 2 years using the veto on everything. Then complain that it’s a say NO congress.. more of the same.
Pubs need to spend the next 2 years passing bills that he then vetoes... at least his veto will get a tiny bit of coverage, more so than the hundreds of bills passed by the house that never made it to the floor of the Senate, thanks to Dirty Harry. We therefore get a bit of public statement on his veto and can try to draw distinctions...
not that it matters... the only thing that will matter from here on in, is the color or sex of the candidate, and the freebies that they will promise to pass out...
Agree. If Republicans gain control the senate, we are heading for an epic constitutional crisis as Obama is certain to go into full-on dictator mode. If the congress is to maintain any semblance of credibility, the Republicans will be forced to confront and constrain him. This is do-able since Pubbies would control the money flow.
Obama can’t go straight to the people because nobody believes him. He has lost all credibility. But he hasn’t given up on his agenda and what’s left of his constituiency. His executive overreach will far exceed anything previously done by any president. The nation is on the precipice of a serious crisis that has yet to play out.
