Obama Says He'll Go Around Congress to Get Things Done
Reason ^ | January 14, 2014

Posted on 01/14/2014 3:24:19 PM PST by Red Steel

President Obama seems ready to work around Congress in 2014, telling reporters before his first Cabinet meeting of the year Tuesday that he stood ready to use two tools, a pen and a phone, to provide help for Americans.

“We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating,” the president said.

“I've got a phone that allows me to convene Americans from every walk of life, nonprofits, businesses, the private sector, universities to try to bring more and more Americans together around what I think is a unifying theme: making sure that this is a country where, if you work hard, you can make it,” he added.

The “thinking” of the undocumented Indonesian.

MEANWHILE:
The hated EXEMPT US Congress is busy in their brothels,
banks, and arming al Qaeda against the American people.

He’s been doing this for at least the last 3 of 5 years.

What part of, “we got rid of Monarchs” is so hard for our fearful progressive friends to learn?

Spoken like a true Socialist tyrant who hates the checks and balances and separation of powers of our free society’s Constitutional government. Time to oust this guy.

...the genius of our forefathers is on full display. He can’t turn this country into a monarchy. UNLESS of course, Congress refused to impeach or the courts do nothing to stop this.

Meanwhile the republican party doesn't seem to be able to respond much beyond a quiet whimper to such illegal dictatorial pronouncements.

Hey GOP idiots here's a clue: the American people have a built-in HATRED for tyrants. You wouldn't be taking too much of a RISK to point out that we have a purple lipped one currently sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Republicans are co-conspirators. They have no regard for the Constitution either.

The only person with big enough balls to stop Hussein is Hillary, and she is only going to do that if he refuses to leave when his time is up and it’s her turn.

It’s time to indict this fascist dictator for breaking every law in the country. How long are Americans going to put up with this Kenyan goat’s antics?! This country has become a nation of cowards.
