After re-election, Obama asked aides how to govern without Congress

Politico’s Glenn Thrush reports that after President Obama won re-election, he tried to find out ways of pushing his second term agenda without the Republican-led Congress.

“Guys, I don’t want politics to be a limit of what you recommend to me,” Obama told senior aides David Plouffe, Lew, Dan Pfeiffer and Pete Rouse a couple of weeks after his reelection, according to a White House aide with direct knowledge of the meeting.

“Let’s come up with an agenda, then let’s figure it out from there as best we can,” he said, prodding them to adopt a more muscular approach to the use of executive power. “We can’t let the driving force of what we pass be Congress.”

This explains President Obama’s frequent mentions of governing without Congress.

The little piggies in the US Congress don’t care.

Less for them to do.
No accountability, anyway.

Just pork, kickbacks, brothels, special deals,
SEC violations, no ObamaCARE, trips, alcohol,
and IRS and NSA reports on anyone under them
during their first class safaris and trips.

what are you doing to stop Obama? Go ahead and stop him and the democrat machine

The enemy of the American people is the democrat party. The democrat party controls

1. the news media
2. hollwywood
3. the presidency
4. The senate
5. the gov bureaucracies
5. the unions
7. the universities
8. the schools
9. soros , Lewis,zuckerberg, msny other billionaires are democrats.
10. Obama the main tyrant is a democrat
11. silicon valley, Google etc. are democrats
12. Pelosi, REid, fienstein, Shumer, Durbin , Lois lerner r democrats
13 . the rest of the media
14. IRS , EPA, DHS, HHS, TSA, FBI, etc.
15. liberals control the supreme Court( they approved Obamacare)
17. NAACP, La Raza, lawyers , AARP, many other groups
18 . Democrats control all the political money .Soros, tides foundation,gov grants,Zuckerberg,Lewis (another billionaire. moveon.org,unions etc.

Democrat party controls all this and more but the media and many others say that everything is the Republicans fault even though r’s have only a few votes majority in the House and that’s it

Democrats want to makes slaves of all Americans, turn us into cattle with less rights than a cow or farm chicken for them to manipulate. Democrats want to turn the USA into a communist state where all of us are totally dependent on government for everything, we own nothing.

The media is the most powerful entity in the USA and the world. the media made a non-crime( the zimmerman case) into the top news that everyone was focused on. all in attempt as Rush says to take away our guns and independence from government. 2 of the top stories of the year, zimmerman and newtown. they are hell bent on taking away our gun rights
