WASHINGTON — President Obama will tell Congress in his State of the Union address Tuesday to either act or get out of the way, White House officials said Sunday.

That’s a great way to get Congress on your side. I’m sure that’ll work.
If I were a Republican/Conservative Congressman or Senator, I would not even be in this farce of a tribute to an imbecile.
The House of Representatives was elected by the people, too, ‘bammers.
They were elected specifically to thwart you and your agenda, and that’s their job.
Sounds like the Chicago way, as implemented by an unaccomplished community organizer.
Obama will essentially inform Congress, that he plans on ruling as “Dictator”.
Absolutely agree. They should act immediately on impeachment or resign in shame.
Sometimes inaction IS acting. When you choose not to throw the switch on a train track to cause a train to turn from the main track, your inaction is action - a choice to not change the train’s direction.
It’s amazing how many don’t get that - or don’t want to get that.
Tell us about global warming from the coldest state of the union address ever.

Well the first liberal African American POTUS really worked out well, any bets on the first liberal female POTUS ?
I see at MSNBC they are calling Americans racist and sexist again.
Guess that bought us nothing.
Joe Wilson did not die nor (as far as I can tell) suffered no permanent cosequences ... pro or con ... from publically calling the liar ... a liar ... which he has been proven to be.
Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Reich (The Enabling Act)
March 24, 1933
Translated from Reichsgesetzblatt I, 1933, p. 141.
The Reichstag has enacted the following law, which has the agreement of the Reichsrat and meets the requirements for a constitutional amendment, which is hereby announced:
Article 1
In addition to the procedure prescribed by the Constitution, laws of the Reich may also be enacted by the Reich Government. This includes laws as referred to by Articles 85, Sentence 2, and Article 87 of the Constitution.
Article 2
Laws enacted by the Reich Government may deviate from the Constitution as long as they do not affect the institutions of the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. The rights of the President remain undisturbed.
Article 3
Laws enacted by the Reich Government shall be issued by the Chancellor and announced in the Reichsgesetzblatt. They shall take effect on the day following the announcement, unless they prescribe a different date. Articles 68 to 77 of the Constitution do not apply to laws enacted by the Reich Government.
Article 4
Reich treaties with foreign states that affect matters of Reich legislation shall not require the approval of the bodies concerned with legislation. The Reich Government shall issue the regulations required for the execution of such treaties.
Article 5
This law takes effect with the day of its proclamation. It loses force on April 1, 1937, or if the present Reich Government is replaced by another.

The Reich President von Hindenburg
Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler
Reich Minister of the Interior Frick
Reich Minister of Foreign Affairs Freiherr von Neurath
Reich Minister of Finance Graf Schwerin von Krosigk
So, is he going to ask them all (the GOP critters) to resign if they don’t go along with his agenda?
If I were in the chamber, I’d stand up and start reciting Article 1 of the Constitution, probably starting from Section 7, until they dragged me away.
I understand, and can sympathize about the fight and all, but I’m old now, and I just don’t suffer complete effing fools anymore.
He’s showing the world that he is a DICKTATOR!!!
Like some kind of dictator. This is a coup!
The analogy doesn't work with slow moving politics.
Many laws are passed that don't take effect until years later.
A lot of damage is done with the precident of a passed law.
