Is it good for President Obama to use executive powers after Congress ignored his jobs bill?

About time, given Republican obstructionists on Capitol Hill 234 (53.8%)

Even Democrats objected, so president should work harder with Congress 142 (32.6%)

By picking targets for aid, Obama can help the most people, the soonest 16 (3.7%)

Hoping for a broader fix for the economy, not rifle-shot approach 43 (9.9%)

Total votes = 435

Hey lets not let actual facts have any place in your little poll.

Why bother mentioning that the Democrats control the Senate, it is Democrat Harry Reid who is not doing his job and is sitting on 15-odd bills concerning employment passed to them by the republican house.

Lying media.

Why bother?

The question could be clean, but they made it confusing and meaningless to get the alleged results they want.

That man should study the videos and history about out how the Italian partisans eventually handled Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci. I’m not advocating this should happen. But the man should be warned.

Why bother freeping a Philthy poll. The dead will out vote you no matter what.

How about choice number 5? No, I prefer to adhere to the Constitution.

As expected, the Philly rag left out the right and patriotic answer:

Impeach Obama, convict him in the Senate, then indict, try, convict, and publicly carry out the sentence on the traitor.

Thanks for posting, Phil, but I don’t like the poll. It doesn’t give an absolute “NO”. Whatever choice you make supports O in one form or another IMHO.

Weird options in that poll. Obviously, the intent was not to get a yes or no vote, but to provide fodder so that they could say the majority supported the president.

Four possible answers - all with intentionally mushy-headed wording.

Three are more or less approvals of Obama, only one is reluctantly opposed to Obama's heavy handed bypassing of congress.

I don’t participate in Democrat bogus polls especially from media in a bankrupt Democrat city.

Can I get an amen?

Seriously, WTH??

This ‘poll’ is a joke and the poster should also be treated as such.

Get a life, dude and go back to playing in your kitty litter box.

One of the most poorly worded polls I’ve ever seen. Surprised anyone could divine the correct choice!

Is there a difference between royal decree and executive order?
