Frustrated Obama's Message: "I'LL GO IT ALONE"
NBCNews ^ | January 26, 2014 | Tom Curry

Frustrated Obama's Message: I'LL GO IT ALONE By Tom Curry, National Affairs Writer, NBC News When he stands before lawmakers Tuesday night for his State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama will have a message for the divided Congress that has largely stymied his agenda for the past three years: Fine, I’ll go it alone. “I’ve got a pen,” Obama has said in the weeks leading up to the speech, “and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.”

Many of Obama’s big policy goals have ended up stranded in limbo between the Democratic-controlled Senate trying to advance his agenda and the Republican-led House bent on stopping him.

And, heading into a midterm election year, he faces lame-duck status unless his party can regain control of the House this November.

Frustrated with the Capitol Hill quagmire, the president is increasingly turning toward the power of the presidency to try to solidify his legacy. Obama has pledged to act, saying, “We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need.”

"The president sees this as a year of action, to work with Congress where he can and to bypass Congress where necessary," White House press secretary Jay Carney told ABC News Sunday.

Go it alone, Benghazi Barry Soebarkah...

Get rid of your Secret Service, your food tasters, and deny the delivery of “Fish and poi” (which I’ve read is common Hawaiian slang for “weed and coke”).

Better YET-—go it alone without that POS Valerie Jarrett.

"The president sees this as a year of action

I can't believe they actually put the words 'president' and 'action' in the same sentence. If this man actually worked a ten-hour day, I would be shocked. Heck, I would be shocked if he worked a five-hour day. He is far and away the laziest President we have ever had. He doesn't possess the leadership ability to go anything alone. He can't even deliver a three-minute speech without getting help from a teleprompter.

Someone pulls little barry bastard boy’s strings. Valerie and others are the strings and barry dances as directed ... then back to his degeneracies. Michelle must be getting really tired of that.

MLK most likely would have loved it. He was after all a good commie as well (not to mention an adulterer). Jesse Jackson was in MLK’s circle; that is all you need to know.

Operation Mockingbird: A Look at CIA Infiltration of the Media

"About a third of the whole CIA budget went to media propaganda operations. ... We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars a year just for that .....close to a billion dollars are being spent every year by the United States on secret propaganda." Testimony of William Schapp in 1999, referencing revelations from the Church Committee in 1975."

He’s going to unilaterally do away with US nuclear arms, in return for NOTHING.

That might be enough to motivate the military to act.

I think he might try this.

I would suggest although its mid winter...open our windows wide...during the SOTU...and accentuate all of bozo husseins statements with DUCK CALLS..

those watching at bars and restaurants would have a distinct advantage but a wider implemtation of this plan...would still have a good effect

NBC News is enabling Obama by making it sound like he’s just a well-meaning but frustrated administrator, instead of the law-circumventing criminal usurper he really is.

You said...
“I predict this to be one of the most rambling , angry and bizarre SOTU addresses ever.”

Yup.

And hopefully enough of the general public will tune in to see for themselves what we conservatives have been warning about since 2008

SOTU drinking game:
you must drink whenever you hear the pronoun ‘I’

whenever he finishes a sentence, stand and loudly proclaim:

YOU LIE!

at least by the end of it you’ll be hammered and satisfied by telling the punk where to shove his commie bullsh*t.

(and no, i won’t be watching... i’ve had my fill of propaganda laced bullsh*t)

Why would he need to bypass Congress? They’ll bend over backwards to complete the will of their master.
