Americans don't want Obama 'twiddling my thumbs,' president says Obama defends his use of executive power despite GOP threats to sue him Despite Republican charges that he has abused his authority, President Obama said Wednesday he wont dial back his use of executive power to advance his political agenda without help from Congress.
The American public doesnt want him sitting around twiddling my thumbs, Obama said in a wide-ranging news conference. He reiterated his plans to order executive actions on immigration, and said he was considering ways to discourage corporations from moving some operations overseas to avoid U.S. taxes.
Obama, who leaves Saturday for a family vacation on Marthas Vineyard, spoke for 45 minutes as he ended an unusual three-day summit of about 50 African leaders in Washington.

I wish he and the misses would just stay on vacay for the next 2 years.
BTW - they said on Fox and Friends earlier that he was returning to the WH on Aug 17th for 2 days of meetings then returning to Martha’s Vineyard. They predicted the meetings were going to be over immigration and he might release his EO then. Have only read on FR about the corporate taxes (there’s a post about a letter that Durbin, Lizzie Warren and one from RI sent urging him to issue an EO on that). Maybe he’ll issue both.
