For residents of America who had been foreigners at certain places and times, there is a definite sense of “history is repeating itself.” Those people are sadder and more frightened for America than most Americans are. Fool us once, shame on you, fool us twice, shame on me?
Wow that is debatable. The list of corrupt US Presidents is fairly long and illustrious. Obama is a long ways from catching Lincoln in the corruption department. But give him credit, he is trying....
The sound of silence comming from Republicans in Congress is also disgusting.
Is there not ONE Congress Criter who has a pair and will call our Neo-Commie, Dear Leader (LOUDLY AND PUBLICLY) on his mad power grab?
He’s a lefty. The ends justify the means. Intentions and goals are what matter - not what you actually do or what actually happens.
Can he be taken to court over it or is their some sort on censure possible?
Seems like R’s are sitting on their hands - maybe many would like to do this as well. The constraints of the Law are for everyone. When politicians throw off that restraint they are no longer working for the will of the people they are working for themselves. Every Republican should refuse to pass another bill or pass any money allocations until this is sorted but they won’t because you have a bunch of political wimps in power!

It’s up to Congress to do something about it. If they won’t then they will have chosen to become irrelevant.
Thanks as well, to weak Republican Leadership; third-rail Media; and 'down-home' Democrats (who do not recognize the difference between the American Flag and Obama's 'logo'); our threat level is maximizing.
If this President not halted; we will witness the worst of consequences per Obama's insatiable 'will to power' and that of all who prop him up. It is not just Michelle; who likes the sound of 'Your Excellency".
(The 'slippery slope to hell' is as ugly as it is painful. Not easy to change paths; but we can/must, of course. Or, as this writer warns; suffer, suffer. . .and look only to the desperate faces per 'history' to confirm.)
In this; only ONE candidate 'gets it'. His name is Newt.
To my point (and fear of anything with more than two/four legs) NONE of these create value in our lives; much less; are they prompted by the instincts of 'moral reason'.
We do recognize and fear the 'will to power' in our President; or should; and various politicians; but somehow manage to overlook the same self-aggrandizing traits in our scientific community. . .those fueled by Government 'need' and funded by Government largesse and brought to life; by fine intellects at work; but morally inferior, rational thinking.
We know 'political meets scientific' (think 'Global Warming'; and yes, vaccines for another; but recommend Dr. Mary's Monkey, by Edward T. Haslam; to appreciate another unfortunate, meeting of minds.) for a fascinating look back - and to our future.
If interested; just Google; and Google SV (Simian Virus 40; to confirm; if in doubt.)

I think Obama’s recent moves are born of desperation-to get re-elected.
Follow the money.
He was willing to break the law to put Cordray in place. Why?
Because what’s coming is precisely what community organizers do. The non-bank money services industry, pay-day loans, check cashing, title loans, buy-here-pay-here auto dealers, pre-load debit cards and other sub-prime money services are booming. They are booming because of the heavy regulation now on banks via Dodd-Frank. The shakedown of this industry is begun with this appointment.
Look for this industry to be villified and threatened into “donating” to the Obama campaign. They know what’s coming, the threats have already been leaked to them. Protection money is on the way as we speak.
The NLRB appointments have the same goal in mind.
It’s all about the fact that donations are down, way down. And the shakedown will work.
And our Congress does nothing. Once again they forfeit more of their responsibility to the administration.

He is trying to desensitize America, with numerous acts that don’t individually rise to the level of “high crimes.” And he’s succeeding.
From running without having credentials and actively hiding them, to this latest offense, it’s all of a piece.
People (including many people here at FR) don’t realize how serious a problem we have in Barack Obama and in the state of a nation that would raise him to high office.
Predictions: chaos from Occupy during the election year. In November, BOHICA (Barack Obama, Here It Comes Again). In 2013 a new Constitutional Convention and a couple of SCOTUS retirements or fatalities while we’re waiting for our new constitution — meanwhile the old one will be declared null.
And yet, he stands a great chance of winning a second term. What's that say about America?
My father survived fascism then too, but he’s slipping away now down the Alzheimer’s path so can’t draw the parallel like McCann. I see it. I saw it coming, potentially, too, as most of you did. As rush Limbaugh did when he hoped fervently that Obama would fail.
And when he so hoped, the media drew in their putrid breaths and spent days excoriating not the one who usurped the office and tricked the voters but the one who feared like Benjamin Franklin that we might lose our republic.
Did Barack Obama love or hate the parents who abandoned him, the grandparents who were stuck with him, the communist mentor who abused him? Did he love or hate the country all of his people hated? We will never know, but surely the simplest facts of his background, the few we are allowed to know, point to a person in whom the trust of our highest office is greatly mistaken. And every move he’s made for three years reflects that; each is the fulfillment of his earliest handlers, those who were delighted to use our own political correctness to get into our White House through the front door instead of a bomb attack.
