Last month, President Obama declared he’ll “act on my own,” that he doesn’t need Congress to exercise his power.
“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation. I’ve got a pen . . . and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions,” he asserted. “One of the things that I’m going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us.”
He’s already made good on his promise to act unilaterally — delaying the ObamaCare mandate on businesses again last week and changing the rules for immigration enforcement.
But what Obama didn’t say is that, behind the scenes, he’s radically increasing the government’s reach. His tools aren’t laws or even executive orders — it’s thousands of new pages of new rules in the Federal Register, the nation’s official book of regulations, controlling everything from home finance to car deals to city zoning.

I agree, I think they don’t have the courage to stop him and he knows it.
Buttt......he be BLACK!! (No, not really, it’s A-Rab, but I digress.)
Therefore, NOTHING can be done (NO, not really, but that would require a set of balls on and ACTUAL opposition.)
Wait for the 3rd Term, then the 4th. Obama will be with us always. Why not? he can change the laws at his will—he said so—and what ever he does—the MSM will back him up and so will the Unions, Democrats, Liberal Professors, Blacks and illegals. Obama is invincible! Obama is a God.
Congress likes what he’s doing, so nobody will stop him.
