I am thinking back to the last two years of the Bush Administration. With an overtly hostile Congress, it made no sense to allow Congress to write the budget. In his final year, it was the Executive Branch that submitted a budget. That budget was rejected by the Legislative Branch. That same Legislative Branch failed to come up with it's own budget. So spending was continued at the previous level through March 2009.

I am not suggesting that the Executive Branch also be the Legislative Branch. But I am saying that the Executive Branch should submit its own bills if it wants to initiate its own policies. The Legislature reserves the right to change and return for Presidential approval or outright reject those policies. When you allow 535 legislators to initiate policy, you are asking for trouble (See: Boland Amendments).

btw, I dig your nick. I listened to Johnny Rivers when I was a kid. Are you familiar with the song "Use the Power"?

If you guys think Obama is friend of the USA

Don't misinterpret: I have personally NEVER thought the kenyan/indonesian marxist/communist is a friend of the USA or Freedom! I believe that 0bamao is sowing the seeds of his own destruction. His arrogance will be his downfall. He vastly overestimates just how much the American people will put up with. I never thought I could despise anyone more than Bubba Clinton, but sadly, I was very wrong.

Americans Worried About Unemployment

So what does Obama do? He forces each one of us to pay for a government medical plan, or get fined. Money that we may have earmarked for something else. Such as rent, mortgage payments, heating costs, food, transportation, car maintenance, car insurance, car fees, etc etc.

In other words, Obama is telling us what to do with our money. Money that we've carefully alloted for our expenditures. But, in one fell swoop, Obama comes along and rips up our financial plans.

In concert, he ignores the recession and reducing unemployment.

While pushing Obamacare, Cap'n Tax, Amnesty, close GITMO, etc.

Karl Rove on Rush Limbaugh's show said that Obama doesn't really care what's in these bills. He tossed the actual writing to two of the most partisan members of the Congers, Pelosi and Reid.

Obama simply wants to be able to have his check list, like so:

Obamacare? Check.
Cap and Tax? Check.
Close Gitmo? Check.
Immigration? Check.

It seemed to me that this pretty much summed up Rove's estimation of Obama.
