“Jobs” is obamaspeak for more gravy for the public unions.

So, is Boner going to fold again on this and let him get away with it?

Three or four small wars without bothering to consult congress. Three Executive Orders spending money with no consent from congress. What next? If Boner just sits there and takes it, then what’s going to stop him? And as I’ve said repeatedly, where the hell is Michelle Bachman, who should be raising hell over Boner’s boners.

It’s a major part of his reelection strategy to make it look like he’s doing all he can, despite Congress. But there’s really nothing of substance to most of this stuff. One of his two memoranda today appears just to create an informational website about exporting for small businesses. Trumped up, small potatoes BS.

IF Bush or any Republican president did this end run around Congress, the liberal MSM would be screaming about ‘separation of powers’, Congress being the spending body, President Usurps Powers Not His, Is this violation an impeachable offense, talk about special prosecutors investigating this, etc.

He is doing this because nobody has the guts to stop him and he knows it.

Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty neat, eh?

Dear Speaker of the House Boehner,

So, the very idea is laughable, huh?

Signed,

Sounds like a compassionate thing he is doing, until you realize it is only testing the waters for more nefarious “strokes of the pen” down the road. He is curious to see if he can get away with it.

So all the first order does is just “speed up” the process of something that was already authorized and appropriated.

The second EO creates another bogus entity. Provided the entity is defined for a purpose for which funds have already been appropriated for, there’s nothing to see here either.

The whole taking action because Congress hasn’t is all rhetoric. The EO is just window dressings with nothing really being accomplsihed.

“we can’t wait for Congress to take action,”

Means: “If congress won’t redistribute wealth, I will”

Congress can stop it, if we had the guts to make them.

Congress and overturn and executive order, it has to be done withing, I think, 60 days.

Half the Congress is Democrat and of the Republican half 75% of them have no balls.

Obama is home free and he knows it.

Manwhile he and his Wookie wife are campaigning separately all over the country on our money, and lieing about it being campaigning.

We have Air Force One and Air Force Wifey now.

The Congress needs to set a budget on Air Force and Helicopter flights for these two dipsticks.

This was an executive action, not an executive order. I made the same mistake. One bypasses Congress (executive order), the other does not involve any appropriation of funds (executive action). Well, maybe it won’t involve additional funding immediately, but this executive action will most definitely result in an expanded Federal Government, since more fed employees will need to be hired to regulate, monitor and oversee all the day-to-day operations of BusinessUSA. This “new” agency is redundant and it is an effort to control more of the private sector.

Bachmann should have stayed focused in Congress keeping the RINO feet to the fire.
