We The People can demand of our elected to stop this President from further plunging the dollar into oblivion and put a halt on his powers for three months...

Zer0 would only laugh and continue. It will take impeachment or a physical reset to remove him. I vote impeachment and removal.

BYW, thanks for the homepage kudos.

A bipartisan coalition of 36 members of the House of Representatives--including 30 Republicans and 6 Democrats--has sent a letter to President Obama asking him to return to Congress its constitutional legislative authority to oversee the bailout of the auto industry.

Ask??? Ask???!

HUSSEIN IS NOT A DICTATOR. TAKE THE AUTHORITY BACK.

Man, quit treating this PUNK like he is GOD. He isn't. He is a community organizer who has been given a free pass by the Congress, the media, the Republican party, and a radical portion of the population.

Time to grow some balls, Congress. Learn the Constitution and apply it.

Rush Limbaugh, the Cheney family, Free Republic and a few bloggers seem to be the only ones who seem to realize Hussein ain't God's gift to the world.

I’m sure these guys would like to defend jobs for their constituents, but in an industry with massive overcapacity a lot of people are going to get hurt in the process of rationalizing production and distribution, and likely the result of log-rolling and pork-barrel politics if Congress was making in these decisions would be about twice as bad and become effective about two years later than the current process ... think about what it took to finally close a handful of military bases.

“These are decisions that are made by companies about what it is they believe is the best path toward renewed viability for their company,” Gibbs told reporters Wednesday. “If it weren’t for the task force on autos, and if it weren’t for the president's intervention, a hundred percent of those dealerships would be gone, a hundred percent of those plants would be closed.”

Of course this is a lie by Gibbs. We have bankruptcy laws to prevent the very thing Gibbs says would have happened. The purpose of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to give a business some breathing room so it can reorganize and return to viability. The restructuring would have - and should have - taken place within the Chapter 11 framework without the intervention of the executive branch (or, for that matter, of any branch of government).
