“Executive Action”

This EA is just treason.

[ronnie raygun]

And the GOP should be simultaniously signing his impeachement papers.

I do not understand why we are expecting Obama to follow the law regarding what would be an unconstitutional executive order.

He is either trying to sucker the Republicans to pass the bill he is demanding so they can once again be sure to get blamed for it. Or Obummer's cronies will enact his edicts without an executive order. Don't tell me they can't this administration regularly ignores the rule of law. We didn't need an executive order for the IRS to target the Tea Party. He may just be delusional enough that he think if he says something that reality is changed by his mere decree.

“CRIPES” a government shut down ordered by Barak.

Didn’t Dubya do the same thing? I don’t think it’s unusual to give federal employees the day after Christmas off if it falls on a Friday.

[b4its2late]

He doesn’t even celebrate Christmas, does he?

“By his authority he orders all departments and agencies of the Federal Government closed the day after Christmas. “

Obama can shut down the government by Executive order.... but the Pants Wetting GOPe are worried they are going to get the blame.....

[Don Corleone]

I said before, that EO was nothing but a rope-a-dope to the Rino’s hoping to get them to do something even more stupid than they had planned.

Christmas is a Thursday. By declaring “Boxing Day” (as it is known in Canukistan) a Federal Holiday there is a four day weekend.

Look at it as an energy conservation measure. /s

[afraidfortherepublic]

Obama is such a liar that he lies about his lies.

[hal ogen]

The government “workers” always get these close-to-holidays days off with pay. Why are they paid? They aren’t there. Corruption.

[jimmyo57]

I bet the real reason he’s doing it is because it’s the first day of Kwanzaa!

[Labyrinthos]

Obama shuts down government!

[a fool in paradise]

By his authority he orders all departments and agencies of the Federal Government closed the day after Christmas.

I thought Obama was ANGRY at the evil Ted Cruz and right wing Republicans who were threatening to shut down the gub'mint. Preemptive strike?

[Garvin]

He can’t give a day off with pay. He did the same thing that has been done by other Presidents and what was done for this past Thanksgiving, you had a choice of using vacation time, credit hours or leave without pay.
