Obama in Burma: 'I Wish I Could... Impose My Will on Congress'
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | November 19, 2012 | Ben Shapiro

Today, President Obama spoke in Burma – or as he termed it, Myanmar, despite official US practice to call the country Burma – and repeatedly botched the name of the country’s famed Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, instead calling her Aung YAN Suu Kyi. Then he called President Thein Sein “President Sein,” which was a diplomatic snafu, since the president of Burma is to be called by his full name.

His speech was just as bad. After getting through the basics – acting as though his doctrine, not President Bush’s multiple actions on behalf of democracy in Burma, had created more freedom in Burma -- Obama cited Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “four fundamental freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.”

When it came to freedom of speech, Obama said all the right things – after all, he was not talking about an anti-Islam YouTube video in Burma. But he then followed up that glowing language with this bombshell: “Now, on other hand, as President, I cannot just impose my will on Congress -- the Congress of the United States -- even though sometimes I wish I could.” Yes, he does...

What I should have done was liquidate all the high rank officers, as Stalin did!

A broken record.

The establishment GOP is our immediate problem.

Not much if any freedom of expression inside Burma. Obama feels right at home.

Hell this punk wishes he could impose his will on Michelle and her mother.

Once a punk, always a punk. (29 years in the prison business)

He’s still a house of cards.

Second Bill of Rights aka FDR's economic bill of rights

Pure Marxism.

Go read the article. There are several examples of nobama’s random bullshit generator operating at full power.

Unbelievable.

I’m pretty sure I’d prefer Biden’s stupidity to BO’s malice.

Hey hussein, what do you call obamacare? What about all your czars? What about your legislation via regulation? What about all those EOs? You’re the worst President ever, and the closest thing we’ve ever had to a dictator. No coincidence that...

This visit to Burma has been an unmitigated DISASTER, with gaffe after gaffe (in Obama’s case, revealing what he actually thinks). Will the MSM hold him accountable? No.

I might just start referring to him as President Bongo, because he becomes more like a Gabonese dictator every day.

What in heck are all those policy imposing and money allocating Executive Orders about, if not circumventing the prerogatives of the Legislative Branch,not to mention the Constitution?
