Politicos Glenn Thrush reports that after President Obama won re-election, he tried to find out ways of pushing his second term agenda without the Republican-led Congress.
Guys, I dont want politics to be a limit of what you recommend to me, Obama told senior aides David Plouffe, Lew, Dan Pfeiffer and Pete Rouse a couple of weeks after his reelection, according to a White House aide with direct knowledge of the meeting.
Lets come up with an agenda, then lets figure it out from there as best we can, he said, prodding them to adopt a more muscular approach to the use of executive power. We cant let the driving force of what we pass be Congress.
This explains President Obamas frequent mentions of governing without Congress.
I thought he was the constitutional law expert and the smartest guy in the room; why would he need advice?
I love this stuff. Every time the dems get something they want, they live to rue it. All the crap they are letting this guy get away with will haunt them when a Republican gets in.
It is like with Watergate when they were screaming for a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. Well they finally got it in Kenneth Starr and they hated him, though it was exactly what they cried for.
They are so amazingly short sighted.
This wont end well.
Either way - it just needs to END.
“...It is THEIR JOB to do something about this BS.....”
Normally, that would be correct. But the whole GOP, except for a couple of em, are “frozen” in the PRISM data spectrum. They know if they do anything, odongo will spill the beans on em.
They’re all dirty. Odongo has em right where he wants em.
It might not go anywhere, but it brings to the attention of the People just WHERE things are WRONG.
Use it to point out the trampling of the 4th Amendment, etc.
yep, that worked out so well when impeaching Klintoon, didn’t it.
True, but for a few things 1) There is no SEX this time 2) People ARE upset with the IRS/NSA/etc.
Then, too, the GOP/RNC allowed the media/etc. to dumb it down to sex. They never hammered (yeah, I doubt they would this time) the perjury, abuse of office, denying Rights of Paula/etc.
Any impeachment attempt would be met with RACIST screeching that could be heard on the Moon.
Better ways, unplug the life-support (money). No more Continuing Resolutions!!!!!
And if they had any balls, they’d point to the Black Caucus and tell ‘em to S.T.F.U.
The GOP has already had that option, and punted. They had the recent Farm Bill chance as well; they loaded it up and made all the subsidies PERMANENT (nothing like a forever sh!t-sandwich).
Congress?? We don’t need no steenkin’ Congress!
This guy wanted Congress to be nothing more than a rubber stamp for him. It was never supposed to be a rubber stamp; otherwise, why bother? Just send all 535 of them home and let him be King. Sheesh.
bttt
Me and you and a whole lot of others are choked full of “go along to get along” mentality of “our” side of Congress. We are no longer buying into “its our secret undercover ploy to regain control”.
Its like we are being hit with a F5 shit tornado and the only way out looks more and more like SHTF time.
I hope more every day to hear that our mostly good conservative Texas government say “Enough, we are no longer going to participate in USA’s suicide”.
“And the republicans in congress are doing what to stop him?”
The republicans have stopped a lot of really bad stuff. Did they stop it all, no.
What have they stopped? Obamacare? IRS abuses? Benghazi? Fast and Furious? Oh, I know - they have had hearings. Bunch of worthless slugs, IMHO.
remember his “jokes” on this topic - like to LULAC which chanted back “yes we can”
they were not jokes
And don't give me any constitutional reasoning, because that fact has stopped this SOB from forcing his agenda thus far. He may not be packing come January 20, 2017.
