Obama Is Laying the Groundwork to Move Without, Around, and Outside Congress

President Obama has recalled John Podesta to work at the White House as a “counselor.” Podesta is the Clinton hand who founded the far-left Center for American Progress (home of the clownish Think Progress blog).

Podesta’s appointment, which needs no congressional approval, comes at a time when Obama is already making moves to do without Congress. He has used executive actions to re-write Obamacare, and to recalibrate immigration law, both in ways that just happen to favor either himself or the Democrats.

Like he doesn't have the audacity to do this. As arrogant as the "lyin' king" is, I have no doubt there will be many attempts of doing end runs. Even if he lasts the full 8 years, it will probably take decades to undo the harm. Not to mention little poison pills that may be laying in wait.

I also think he will declare some form of “national emergency” and stay in office after the end of his 2nd term.

The emergency probably will be about the effects on the economy caused by the health care and insurance industry. (his view).

Just my opinion.

Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.

Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.

Americans don’t seem to care much for the Republic’s Constitution. Not that long ago this anti American activity would never fly, even with Democrats.

Of course he will. The 17-state EBT 'foodstamp' shut off was a practice-run / warning to Congress during the Government Shutdown.

I always looked askance and the claims Bill Clinton would do such a thing. With Obama, it's an obvious extension of his Malignant Narcissistic personality. I tell you now, it WILL happen.

Everyone had enough of this "fundamental transformation" yet? What's it going to take? What "orchestrated crisis" awaits us?

Do GOP Reps and Senators have ‘standing’ to stop him by court action? He is destroying their jobs.

“I also think he will declare some form of “national emergency” and stay in office after the end of his 2nd term.”

There is no precedent under law for that and there is nothing in the Constitution that says he can. So why would he need a pretense?

If he tried anything like that I still believe he would be physically removed from office, at the point of a gun if necessary.

He’ll be gone in 2017. If not sooner.

“I always looked askance and the claims Bill Clinton would do such a thing. With Obama, it’s an obvious extension of his Malignant Narcissistic personality. I tell you now, it WILL happen. “

If he were to try to suspend elections he would just do it. There is no reason to gin up a “national emergency”.

That’s done and over with, ever since Reagan left. Poulson did a great job on Bush II, and Rubin on Cinton. Geitner and so on....
