President to Seek to Use State of the Union Address to Shift Souring View of Leadership

President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night will seek to shift the public's souring view of his leadership, a challenge the White House sees as critical to shaping the nation's policy direction over the next three years.

Mr. Obama will emphasize his intention to use unilateral presidential authority—bypassing Congress when necessary—to an extent not seen in his previous State of the Union speeches, White House officials said.

He can rule by decree because the GOPe won’t do anything about it

America has become desensitized to 0bama’s impeachable acts.

If he does this, it could bring his presidency to a complete halt and impeachment proceedings to begin very quickly. The Constitution is clear on how laws are to be created. Should he violate this or at least attempt to, the here-to-fore inane Republicans will be forced to come to life.

Yes, MUCH better.

[chessplayer]

He’s going to officially declare himself dictator/emperor.

[Vigilanteman]

Because a sizable portion of the American sheeple (and those pretending to be Americans) are perfectly comfortable with the idea of a dictator as long as their a**hole is in charge.

Who is going to challenge him?

[lbryce]

Well, if that happens, which I fervently pray for every single waking moment of the day, I'll still have two wishes left.

[lbryce]

That’s what I want to know, as well.

[RWB Patriot]

I strongly advise keeping an eye out for America’s version of the Reichstag fire.

[WilliamRobert]

No what Obumer did was threaten them with NO contacts and NON STOP IRS audits unless they complied.

"It’s not a matter of if the riots start, but when."

I hate when Freepers go down this path. There will not be riots from the right. Nor will there be any action of consequence on this POSPOTUS. We get what we deserve.

"We need to show the American people that we can get something done," Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, told CNN as part of a round of interviews previewing the speech.

Why? Why is it always assumed that "doing something" is better than "not doing something"?

[lbryce]

Is that ever well-said.

You know, people don't realize that the motivation the God-forsaken, misbegotten left-wing ever began the obscene meme, BushisHitler, is exactly what you made reference to. They fabricated 9/11 as the motivation for the Bush Administration to wrest control, negate democracy in the same way Hitler did with the "Reichstag Fire".

But the diabolical left knew the truth, that Bush had no dictatorial designs, years before Bush demonstrated no megalomaniac aspirations, having left the White House, his presidency with dignity, honor, the Constitution as the ultimate law of the land, in smooth transition of power to his successor.

No one, not even his staunchest lapdogs have enough confidence to openly say Zero will vacate his democratically-elected post as Constitutionally deemed.

With Zero, absolutely, there is the real threat that he might very well indeed orchestrate a Reichstag Fire to his own nefarious end, as you've insightfully pointed out.

I will not hold my breath; huffing, puffing and so forth...but, Cruz may be the only one to file a lawsuit...

For such a lawsuit, where does it travel? What steps?

Blackmailed SCOTUS/Roberts vote.

Imp3achment? Really?

We have an evil king and everyone is scared of him.

[SisterK]

unilateral agenda?
I’ve read Agenda 21. We don’t need no stinkin’ agenda.

[BigEdLB]

Minions you say?

Like the Obama Cabinet....?

[HKMk23]

“Your list is WAY TOO SHORT!”

Uh, the list only included those going to prison; not those going to the gallows.
