President Obama announced that "we have expanded my authorities," and bragged that "my enemies are powerless to stop me from going forward with what is right for America."
One of the "enemies" the President cited with scorn "is that Texas judge who thinks a court order can prevail against me. If President Jackson could defy the Supreme Court why should I have to heed a mere district judge? I am Commander-in-Chief of the world's most powerful army. The nation's largest police force—the FBI—works for me. What resources does Judge Hanen control?"
Obama warned that "those who contradict my directives must know that they will face consequences for their disobedience. The excuse that my directives do not comply with existing statutes will not get anyone off the hook. Those who work for the federal government put their jobs at risk. Those who don't can still be harassed by the swarms of officers I can send to eat out their substance."
The President also dared Congress to "pass a law aimed at reining in my expanded authorities and I will veto it. My veto will not be overridden because a sufficient number of congressmen agree with the revisions I am making to existing laws. We are in concert that adherence to out-dated processes should not stand in the way of doing what is morally right. History will show that the bold leadership of one man is a simpler and more efficient way to run the country."
In related news, the Administration cited the President's newly expanded authorities in the disbursement of $3 billion to health insurers to help cover losses under the Obamacare program. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew explained that "an adjustment to the Affordable Care Act was necessitated by Congress' failure to fully indemnify insurers against losses under the program." Lew dismissed the objection that only Congress is empowered to appropriate federal money as "overly formalistic. Slavish devotion to arcane procedures shouldn't outweigh the responsibility to do the right thing. Fortunately, we have a president who understands this."

Sadly, the Mods made John do that because too many FReepers weren't getting the satirical angle, though it was totally factual, and got cranky as hell at John about it.
It's a shame, but whaddyagonnado?
My only objection to this posting is that John seems to have forgotten the second part of the article, you know, the part that isn't true. Everything above is right in line with what Obummer and his cronies are up to.
Damn. "thought", not "though".
