After the initial foaming at the mouth hissy fits, the MSM will simply revert back to: “It’s only okay when WE do it!”
It’s because they are thinking about January 21, 2017 when the next President comes into office. They are deathly afraid that a President Cruz would likely invalidate nearly every EO Obama signed. That’s why.
WAPO created a monster. Now they are afraid...well so is Boner and Congress afraid as they walk on eggs around the criminal presidency because the perp is black.
Time to vote out Boner and MConnell
It's what they do and how they think.
We are evil and wrong and haters, they have good intentions, never admit when they are wrong and are tolerant {if you agree with them}.
CRUZ CONTROL is now at warp speed.
Kings rule for life. They know it.
Leftists are huge hypocrits. They won’t bat an eye over dims and pubs doing the same thing and saying they are completely different.
For a while, the Democrats were acting under the assumption that the Republicans would never again be a threat to them. I recall much initial boasting to that effect back in 2008. Then they lost the House. Then they lost the Senate. Then they started losing state houses and governors in states that were once considered reliable democratic strongholds. I imagine they are pretty nervous at the prospects of a Cruz presidency. I suppose the lesson we should all walk away with is, don’t start gettin’ cocky until the job is truly done.
I’ll go out on a limb (the size of an aircraft carrier) and say that people on all sides support EO’s when they agree with them. Principles are for suckers.
I think Obama is intentionally abusing the EO’s. He gets two things out of it. He gets things into policy that he could never get through congress and his abuse will become so blatant that the American people will demand that these powers be rolled back on all future presidents. It’s only going to get worse over the next two years.
Do not expect the media to be logical. Leftists can hold two contradictory thoughts in their “minds” at the same time.

“Compromise”? Obama has been operating by Thucydides’ admonition that the strong will do what they have the power to do, and the weak will accept what they have to accept. But that works both ways, and personally I can’t wait to hear the squeals and gnashing of teeth from the left side of Congress if and when the REAL Republicans take back the White House in 2016 using the precedent set by the Golfer in Chief in making new laws...
Answer: mushy Federal judges declaring everything President Cruz does to be unconstitutional, tying the executive orders up in the courts until President Warren can rescind them.
To really get liberal panties in a wad, imagine Pres. Cruz announcing that the FACE act just isn't to his liking and won't be enforced. Same for Brady background checks.
EO by a Repub BAD. EO by a Dem GOOD.....................repeat...............
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
This is why it is *critical* that ALL Republican candidates for POTUS be asked about presidential powers:
“Do you believe that the *office* of the president has too much power; the right amount of power; or needs more power?”
Unless they immediately say, with no hesitation or qualification, that the office of the president has too much power, *and* how with the help of congress this power will be reduced to more constitutional levels, then that candidate is unfit for office.
If their ego is so great they think they can “control” the power or “use it for good”, then they must be rejected, because unconstitutional power can *never* be used for good.
As always, when the democrats hold power, they march in lockstep towards their political goals, and the opposition is ignored as well as vilified and demonized by all media.
When the democrats are in the minority, they cry constantly for compromise and power-sharing, and their cause is parroted and promoted by all media ad infinitum.
All media will never stop shilling and whoring themselves in support of their Boy King.
They realize the EO sword cuts both ways. This is a weak attempt to blunt that sword before it is passed to a successor who is politically unacceptable to their party.
Yeh imagine if you will Ted Cruz with a pen and phone. LOL!
