"[Y]ou can have a president you love, but if you don’t have a Congress that’s willing to work, you know, you wind up stalled in so many ways,” First Lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday on Tom Joyner’s radio program.

“And I think that Barack has done a phenomenal job working around a Congress that has never been willing to help move the country forward on so many different issues,” she said. “But I think he’s done everything humanly possible to get things passed around the margins.

But, you know, just imagine where this country will be when we have Barack Obama as president and we have a Congress that’s ready to work hand-in-hand, and willing to compromise to make sure that this country moves forward for everyone.”

Mrs. Obama: ‘Barack Has Done a Phenomenal Job Working Around a Congress...'

And around the constitution. And around his oath of office. And the law of the land. And the will of the people.

The tyrant just can't control his inner lawyer.

Somehow the word “work” and “Obama” in the same sentence seems oxymoronic.

These tactics are the usual mode of operation for dictators.

He did a good job of working around congress all right. And he added a few dozen Czars without the consent of Congress along with trillions of dollars to friends and supporters.
Now he is going to be given a long a vacation as a reward for his short service. I suspect that before long he will have a number of legal problems to contend with.

Not only is she admitting he’s TRASHING the constitution, but she’s ALSO undermining his own cries of “congress keeps blocking all the wonderful things I’m trying to do! And THAT’S why the economy is still in a mess...”

Obama "worked around" congress to protect his DOJ and Holder from any accountability in Fast and Furious violence, lies and murder.

..Claimed Executive privileged.

Obama "worked around" congress to use our resources in Libyan war.

--renamed it Kinetic Military Action,

would also guess there is much intimidation, bribes,....used to "work around" congress

Add the MSM working for progressive agenda.

[ANGGAPO]

I don't think he has the power or authority to do that. And somehow I suspect that if he tries to sick the military of us, he will come up short.

Voter fraud ---another big work around. Declaring amnesty to a large number of illegal immigrants just before the election, Use DOJ to stomp any voter ID laws or clean up voter registration. Picks and chooses what laws to enforce. No budget

Obama also works around state rights.

... who’s in the White House determines ... whether or not we have healthcare,

Does this sound like the Soviet Union to anyone except me? Or Cuba ... I wish Michelle had to get her "healthcare" in Cuba.

They forget that in the long run, history never favors a dictator with a favorable outcome for them personally.

. . . my thoughts exactly.

Maybe some orders have already been implemented. My entries on FR are censored, frequently my phones (and I have three) are disabled, even when I may need to call my doctor.

“... Barack has done a phenomenal job working around a Congress...”

Congress has done a magnificent job of avoiding any of its responsibility under the Constitution [silly me!] in restraining an out of control Executive Branch. They are gutless, spineless, and witless. They cannot seem to grasp how irrelevant they've become through their willful inaction. Congress is about as useless as teats on a boar.
