Yes. The press still tends to say that most people don't like his policies, and most people think the country is going in the wrong diection, but ....
"most people still really like the president as a person".
I don't think that true, and I think it will become more apparent before the year is out. To the people, and to him.
Check out what he has just done to effectively grant administrative amnesty for illegals through new DHS regulations. He is even offering the possibility of work permits for illegals who will no longer be deported. He couldn't get it through Congress so he uses executive fiat instead.
He’s already started this by using regulatory agencies to institute laws that impact the economy ...
And he’s openly declared that he won’t enforce laws that he doesn’t agree with (e.g. DOMA).
We’re also only beginning to understand the extent of the administrations involvement in undermining 2nd Ammendment rights with the fast and furious case.
>What’s starting to scare me is that, at some point, Obozo is going to wake up to the reality that people don’t like him and his socialist ideas. At that point, he may start using the powers of Executive Order to institute things that couldn’t pass Congress. He’s already started this by using regulatory agencies to institute laws that impact the economy (e.g., use the EPA since cap-and-trade looks DOA).<
A good point you made there.
As you said he is already doing this. By fiat he gave amnesty to illegals on a “case by case” basis - and messed with more regulations while on vacation.
But being the total narcissist that he is when he gets more public scrutiny, heckling and is called out on the campaign trail with his failed policies and socialist nonsense he will get more angry.
All he will be able to do is what all dictators do, lash out and make us pay through his mighty pen and trashing of our constitution. It will become a self perpetuating downward spiral.
The more he is jeered and less adored the more he lashes out. The more he lashes out the more he sets himself up for negative confrontations. He will unravel during this election cycle because now he is meeting people again up close and personal. (not that he ever really stopped campaigning) but he was more removed from people.
It will be the first time in his life that he takes a public stage and is not viewed as some kind of god. Even the media will no longer be able to shield him. All they will do is question why people are being so “disrespectful” “mean” and that they don’t appreciate him ..
You mean like declaring amnesty for illegal aliens?
This bill allows law enforcement officials to track the sales of multiple guns, end unlicensed gun purchases, formally define gun trafficking, and ease evidentiary requirements to revoke gun licenses.
