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.

If I had a pen
I’d sign stuff in the morning
I’d sign stuff in the evening
Controlling this land
I’d impose Social Justice
I’d wipe out Freedom
I’d stir up
Hate between
The rich ones and the poor ones
Aaaa aaa aaa aaaaaa
all over this la-and
And if I had a phone
I’d dial it in the morning
I’d dial it in the evening
Do it cause I can
I’d organize flash mobs
I’d threaten corporations
I’d foster
Hate and fear
And utter desperation
Aaaa aaaa aaa aaa
all over this la-and
At some point, even liberals must realize that anything he does will have major implications to the next Republican POTUS. He or she will have the blueprint laid out before them and will follow it accordingly..................
Yeesh. I just had a conversation with a Zero aplogogist about this. he said, “Well, I need context for this.” I told him the context was right in the damned sentence he uttered! He doesn’t give two craps about legislation! I don’t know what it takes to get through to these people!!!
The original lyrics were written by an avowed communist, Pete Seeger, and the ‘hammer’ was the hammer of communism.............

You are wrongly assuming there is ever going to be another Republican/Conservative POTUS - that somehow this is just politics as usual and next election cycle will return us from a MarxoFascist oligarchy back to a Republic.
You might want to read what Adams had to say about what happens when a people lose their share in the legislature and refuse to stop every encroachment on their liberty .
We are already there.
“Ive Got A Pen And Ive Got A Phone”
So did Hitler.
The Clown has a pen and a phone, but doesn’t have A CLUE. Harvard Grad my arse.
At the first sign of executive overreach by a Republican president, the liberal media will start calling for impeachment. It won’t take much.
marxist punk is going down as the worst president in history.
Makes Carter look good
Therein lies the problem, government meddling everywhere.
Want to "help" the economy? Start closing down federal agencies and getting rid of hundreds of thousands of regulations (not to mention federal employee's). The economy will come raging back and with it business' that will accept risk and start manufacturing here in America again.
Problem in obama paradise however (and I might add politicians in general), that means less control from the cesspool that is DC.
Fantastic
I never even HEARD of “executive orders” before OZERO came in. It cannot be legal for presidents to just “order” things done like that. IMPEACH!
I am downright wistful for Jimma Carter (in comparison). I’m going to set the heat at 68, put on my brocaded cardigan sweater, and go to the grocery store today, where I will pick up a big ol jar of Malaise, all for me!
Who ya gonna call and why! This guy has to go soon! He’s totally lost it!
EOs mean nothing unless Congress votes!
be careful one of holders people don’t assault ya while there.
ESAD c-ommie bass turd.
AMEN !
