I have to say, politics and slant aside, I have always liked Gergen and his lucid articles/commentary.

What I hate about this is Obama has succeeded in, once again, making it all about him. It’s like the election never happened and the Emperor is back on his throne.

No, I don’t have any brilliant suggestions to counter this but that’s his real plan, to be “The One’ in front of the people, now and forever.

“For a president to toss aside such deep traditions of governance is a radical, imprudent step. When a president in day-to-day operations can decide which laws to enforce and which to ignore, where are the limits on his power? Where are the checks and balances so carefully constructed in the Constitution?

If a Democratic president can cancel existing laws on immigration, what is to prevent the next Republican from unilaterally canceling laws on health care?”

BRAVO!

Gergen and his like want it both ways. They like Obama's amnesty but don't want to lose their credibility (for want of a better term) as the token MSM 'conservative'.

I expect all of the 'moderates' who've long been advising exactly this kind of amnesty will come out today huffing about Obama's 'dangerous power grab'.

“Teddy Roosevelt famously flipped that proposition on its head — unless the Constitution explicitly forbids, he argued, the president has implied authority to act, especially as commander-in-chief.”

The words of an autocrat.

Now we are dealing with a narcissistic, megalomaniacal autocrat.

.... Obama knows that the response to all of his transformational moves from the GOP and Conservatives has been mostly comprised of a lot of hot air. That is why he is moving quickly pretty much with impunity towards the final steps of the countries transformation. He is now moving outside of the structure of our government and law.

.... Conversely ... The opposition to him is moving within the slow confines of the legal environment and he knows very well, with all of the bickering and hot air being spouted ..... it will take a very long time for legal responses to his actions.

..... Basically, this country has pretty much been successfully quickly overthrown from within .... while any opposition is left defenseless and disorganized with it's collective heads spinning at a time when they should have been an unified organized cohesive team ... ready to counter any moves against this country. They were caught asleep in the night while the thief robbed this country blind then set it on fire.

.... Historians will not be kind when the post-mortem is performed upon this era of American history.

.... The GOP was too proud to stand up to it's responsibilities .... internal sniping bickering got the best of them while they turned a blind eye towards the true threat to this country.

.... Yup .... They learned much too late that .... Pride comes before the fall.

Let's flip the question. Just what is not allowed for an EO?
Can Obama remove term limits for the office of president?

Can he nullify any law with which he doesn't agree.

I'm sure he will push every radical agenda he can now. It's only going to get worse from now until 2017.
