‘The Man Is a Dictator’: Beck Blasts Obama’s Move to Circumvent Congress
The Blaze ^ | January 5, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 01/05/2012 9:25:01 PM PST by Mozilla

Glenn Beck on Thursday blasted President Barack Obama’s use of executive authority to make a recess appointment, calling him a dictator who views the American people as children.

On Wednesday, Obama announced he was appointing Richard Cordray the country’s chief consumer watchdog, making a recess appointment while the Senate was technically in session. The same day, he named three members to fill vacancies on the National Labor Relations Board. Explaining his decision before a crowd in Cleveland, Ohio, Obama said he has “an obligation to act on behalf of the American people” when Congress refuses and hurts the economy as a result.

epublicans had stalled Cordray’s nomination, arguing the new agency — tasked with overseeing mortgage companies, payday lenders, and other financial companies — is too powerful and unaccountable.

“The arrogance of this man and the way he rewrites all of American history — all of American history — is astounding,” Beck said on his radio program. “Americans, hear what your president is saying: I’ll work within the system. But if they won’t move, then…I will dictate where we’re going.”

The Crybaby is a Democrat plant and will do whatever is necessary to move forward the Obama agenda.

"Americans, hear what your president is saying:"

I don't have a President by that name.

Excuse me, Glenn, but, the person occupying (squatting) the WH isn’t MY president.

I accidentally left the radio on after Hanity today and caught part of glen’s show. He complained about obumber circumventing the Constitution. Then said Newt would do the same thing. I turned the radio off, but I feel all the dumber for having heard even a few minutes of beck. The man is a POS period.

Religion trumps all. One thing people forget about beck. He rely’s on other’s investigation. He’s just trying to make his “religion” mainstream. Why is hunstman in the race? Wow, two freaks! They must be normal Americans.

I'm willing to listen to any ideas you have on the matter.

Barring a Congress that grows a spine and develops a fealty to the Constitution, another revolution is probably the only way to actually return to a Constitutional governance. While most rational people know this, they are also rational enough to know the horrible ramifications of such a move. Do you think Beck should try calling for a revolution over the radio?

Yes, they both come by it genetically. But it’s so annoying that liberal talk shows trot out MM regularly to embarrass conservatives, and Hoover appears on cspan and elsewhere promoting her book on the need for “new” conservatism to appeal to Gen-X and moderates.

Well, I won't attribute it to exposure to Beck, but yes, I agree, you are a little dumber.
