WASHINGTON (CBS DC/AP) Calling for all hands on deck to assist the economy, President Barack Obama is urging his Cabinet to identify ways to keep his administration relevant to people struggling in the up-and-down recovery.
With two weeks left before delivering an economy-focused State of the Union address to Congress, Obama is picking up the pace of his jobs message and demonstrating how he can advance his economic agenda administratively and through his ability to coax action from important interest groups.
Were not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that were providing Americans the kind of help they need. Ive got a pen and Ive got a phone, Obama said Tuesday as he convened his first Cabinet meeting of the year.

Nothing Fascist about this!!
Besides, the economy is stagnant because of over bearing, heavy handed Government policies and regulation.
Who actually believes that getting more heavy handed will change anything....Oh that's right..Progressives!!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The pen is for overriding the law of the land, the phone is for whomever is giving him instructions about what to do.

We don’t do Kon-sty-two-shun here. It’s just racist, sexist and homophobic.
Now go pay your taxes. Your government is broke. :)

When you're an arrogant jackass you can't see what an idiot you really are. This clown could never admit that he is the reason the economy is so bad. He thinks he is great because nobody around him has the guts to tell him the truth. The more he does the worse it will get.

Stick the pen in your ear, and scrawl across that scrap of paper in front of you with the earpiece end of the handset.
