" People are beginning to show resistance to this tinpot dictator and that will raise his anger to even higher levels and fuel his thirst for revenge.”

Quite correct. That is why he has been doing his global cold calling on Airforce #1 lately. He will be getting so mean on America he needs to set up a base in another country. One ruled by Islam. His very own "Wolf's Lair".

The only reason that he can continue to be “recklessly out of control” is because Congress allows it. Whatever he does, is just as much their fault for not even trying to stop him. Congress is responsible for the decades old open borders, not enforcing the laws. As a result , we have Chigas disease, terrorists and God knows what else. Americans are all at risk for terrorists attacks and horrible diseases never seen here before thanks to Congress, Obama and Bush, who did nothing (that I know of) to fix the border situation even after 911.

“The only reason that he can continue to be “recklessly out of control” is because Congress allows it.”

You are 100% correct. Remember how Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid tied George W. Bush in knots during the last 2 years of Bush’s term?

With a majority Senate the GOP could have used the budget process to tie up Obama. Instead of passing one giant continuing resolution, sending it to him at the last minute, and then be afraid he’ll veto it and blame Congress for shutting down the government, the House and Senate should have done like the founders would have done. Send the president hundreds of individual spending bills beginning in January, funding small parts of the government.

The Constitution requires the president sign or veto legislation within 10 days of its passage. Every few days send him a bill funding a department or an individual program. If he signs it fine, if not Congress can announce they funded the program but the president vetoed it and that particular part of the government must be shut down. Keep feeding him individual bills he will sign while dragging out the deliberation of the controversial bills (Obamacare, EPA climate change regulation, programs in HHS, Department of Energy, discretionary foreign aid and other agencies the GOP doesn’t want to fund. A week before the beginning of the new fiscal year announce you’ve decided not to fund those program and there will be no funds appropriated so the president will have to shut down the program or department affected.

Wrapping the entire budget up into one giant “pass it or bring down the government” bill is a fools game. A powerful opposition party would wield the power of the purse as outlined above. Unfortunately, the GOP is neither powerful nor an opposition party.

Pretty one sided war. Spending bills originate in the house. The GOP haves funded every aspect of his program, going out of their way to pass long extensions of existing budgets before Reid left as majority leader, for instance.
