White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Monday that President Obama is "very interested" in the idea of raising taxes through unitlateral executive action.

"The president certainly has not indicated any reticence in using his executive authority to try and advance an agenda that benefits middle class Americans," Earnest said in response to a question about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calling on Obama to raise more than $100 billion in taxes through IRS executive action.

Get ready - this maoist *sshole is gonna go all the way with these EOs over the next two years.

The flaccid nothings in the GOP do not seem inclined to do anything about it.

He’s interested in helping Americans by taxing the profits of corporations enough to reduce the number of jobs they can provide.

Nobody, not the public or any elected official will do anything until they are uncomfortable enough.

Even if the senate cannot not convict and remove this person from officedue to the lack of enough votes, the house needs to tie this guy up for the next 2 years with defending himself against one article of impeachment after another!

Is THAT what gets him impeachment proceedings?

His calculation is, no, the politically-timid Republicans won’t dare. THEY, he believes, are his Carte Blanche.

If he proceeds and all of the rest is true, what else but state nullification of an outlaw President?

John Quisling will protect the wun and be drunk doing it. The wun has no need to be concerned about a few dissidents.

Saddam Hussein once said ‘The law is whatever I write on a piece of paper.’

Apparently Barrack Hussein feels the same way!

about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calling on Obama to raise more than $100 billion in taxes through IRS executive action.

Just imagine how much that socialist would howl if President Cruz decided to reduce taxes by $100 billion through executive action.

I am more and more convinced that “Obama” has photos of McConnell, Boehner, and many others in bed with little boys, or something even more embarrassing.

This is getting funny.

The “president” is going full rogue on the hapless rinos who think he actually wants to “just get along”.

He intends to do no such thing. He’s gonna up the ante until they finally get it....which means they either impeach him or he does what he wants.

If an addled old duffer like McConnell thinks this guy is playing..got another think coming.

We’ll see how long it takes them.

If Conservatives cannot get the GOPe to replace Boehner, they will never be able to advance Articles of Impeachment. The US is in dire straits and it looks like Boehner and McConnell are on board with what Obama wants to do.

I think saying this they were just testing the water to see if anybody is paying attention. If there’s not a lot of outrage then he will do it.
