BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: This is Obama this morning at the White House. He convened his first cabinet meeting of the year, and one of his three themes for this year is "income inequality," and essential unfairness in America.
He announced at his cabinet meeting how he's going to deal with this.
OBAMA: I've got a pen and I've got a phone. Uh, and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward, and I've got a phone that allows me to convene, uhh, Americans from every walk of life -- nonprofits, businesses, uh, the private sector, uhh, universities, uh -- to try to bring more and more Americans together around what I think is a unifying theme: Making sure that, uh, this is a country where, if you work hard, you can make it.
RUSH: This is just absurd. He's basically bragging about the fact that he can do executive orders to make things fair. He can do executive orders and executive actions to get rid of the unfairness. He's gonna make this lousy country finally fair! Never mind he's been running it for five years. Never mind the fact that his entire economic policy has undermined the old saw about work hard and you can make it. Because not only can you not work hard, you can't work.
We're up to 92 million Americans not in the labor force. But this is classic Limbaugh Theorem stuff. This is Obama as an outsider saying he's looking at Washington and the country, and he sees all of this inequality and all of this unfairness, and he's just at his wits' end now. He's tried and he's tried and he's tried! He's got these Republicans standing in his way. "Okay, I'm gonna just start writing executive orders.
"To hell with it! I'm gonna finally make everything fair." Now, he might have a pen, and he might have a phone, but what he does not have is the constitutional power to run this country like a dictator, and yet that's exactly what it sounds like.
END TRANSCRIPT
Romania had a problem like this but solved it in 1989.
C’mon, you know Rove and Co. have already made a deal to stop real progress on the 14 impeachable Obama scandals. They must protect America’s “conservative” hero: Big Boy.
yep, that there horse already done left the barn.
Let me fathom. Socialized medicine would be running more smoothly with no chance to tank it; full amnesty would have already happened with bi-partisan support; the debt would be slightly lower but still out of control; capital gains tax would be higher; and, we would be ever so green.
Yea, you are another one of the local FR apologists saying there is no difference between Romney and Obama. Do you really believe that?
I didn’t say that.
Rush: Now, he might have a pen, and he might have a phone, but what he does not have is the constitutional power to run this country like a dictator, and yet that’s exactly what it sounds like.
Sounds like? Don’t you mean IS?
Gotta confess it did pique my interest.
Boehner?
Hell, he'll show Obama how to use the Congressional amenities, give him instructions on how to find the rest room, and submit a list of suggested actions.
Dude's compromised.
I forgot. Boehner declared war on Conservatives so he’ll prolly help his friend Obama.

When willThe Rule Of LawBe Re-Instituted In The United States of America?OBONGO Needs To Be IMPEACHED For Violating His Oath Of Office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude’s compromised.
LOL! Not a chance it happens. Conservatives, particularly gun owners, are neutered in this country. The founding fathers are turning over in their graves wondering why in the heck they even added the 2nd amendment.
He’s going to cry...
But hey, I guess that is what republicans in Ohio do when the going gets tough...
A dictator who wanted to be fair would order his own execution.
I'd like to use a bullwhip on your back to make you scream like a white woman!
