“We’ve expanded MY authorities,” Obama Dares GOP, “Have a Vote … I Will Veto

He’s a madman running amok —

Note the royal “we.” America went from 200 years of “We the people” to “We, Obama” in the blink of an eye.

The internet, bullets, and now this — and that’s just today.

Obama Dares GOP: Go Ahead, ‘Have a Vote on Whether What I’m Doing Is Legal…I Will Veto’ | MRCTV (thanks to Van)

(Watch video at link.)

Pres. Obama is daring Republicans to vote on whether or not his executive actions are legal.

Discussing opposition to his executive amnesty orders at an immigration town hall Wednesday, Obama said he would veto the vote because his actions are “the right thing to do”:

“So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I’m absolutely confident that what we’re doing is the right thing to do.”

Obama argued that he has merely “expanded my authorities” – not broken any laws:

“What we’ve done is we’ve expanded my authorities under executive action and prosecutorial discretion as far as we can legally under the existing statute, the existing law. And so now the question is, how can we get a law passed.”

Instead of being allowed (by a Republicrat majority, no less) to lord it over America, ruling and ruining our nation and our lives, he should take his rightful place to rule rats and other vermin.

This petulant, power-hungry parasitic pervert needs to removed from office. He has done so much damage it may take eons to cleanse his filthy edicts.

The Republicrats are proving they're part of the problem so a legitimate right-wing party needs to emerge and take over before one of our many enemies decides to nuke North America.

Where in the Constitution has Barry been given this authority?

This is just the beginning.

DEAD.

Dead.

"We" who?

Has he got something in his pocket, or is he talking about the fly?

The GOP has flubbed everything they’ve attempted since NOV, with the notable exception of exorcising the Conservatives from its midst.

The Republican Party is already dead.

In fact, one might go so far as to say that the GOP majorities were DOA when the new Congress convened in JAN.

Obama knows he has nothing to fear from the GOP.

When is the GOP going to quit being afraid of this clown? How refreshing it would be to see someone, besides Alan West, who has the stones to stand up and speak for the American public rather than for their own jobs? You cowards were put in office to work for us, and you’re pissing the opportunity away. We won’t forget that.

I think it’s more important at this point that we speak to those who can do something...

To the active members of the military, you are being commanded by someone who is directly violating his oath of office. You are allowing a commander in chief to run roughshod over our nation and act in a manner that our nation’s greatest general, George Washington, would find treasonous. It is on the shoulders of every man and woman in uniform to scream as high up their chain of command as they can that something must be done. You can be assured that a majority of Americans would support a military coup at this point. The spineless leadership in the Congress are useless and the tyrants in black robes are abetting the lawless executive branch. Something has GOT to give, and normal citizens are not going to have the spine to stand up against the federal leviathan.

Well, sadly, he’s right about the notion of Congress voting on whether what he does is illegal. That is a ridiculous idea. But this business of attempting to justify presidential actions by claiming that action was “the right thing” is treasonous, IMO. The President does not get to violate the law or create new law simply because he believes it is “the right thing”. Our whole foundation of government is designed expressly to prevent such a thing.

I can give a s*** if the GOP dies, the sooner the better.

The problem with their slavish play dead roll-over is that it kills the republic and enslaves for their petty and momentary personal advantage..

When that happens there will be seas of blood before the Republic is restored. CWII will be like the cultural revolution in red china. The chief difference will be the foreign jackels feeding off of us.

Here, Mr. President. Let me swat that fly away for you with this hammer I just happen to have in my hand.

If future predictions are judged by passed actions, it is a matter of when the GOP will cave, not if they will cave.

“When is the GOP going to quit being afraid of this clown?”

Maybe it’s not fear. Maybe it’s agreement with the clown, and the fear is that we’ll see that eventually.
