Question: Why did the democrat congress critters stand up and cheer when Ωbamα told them he was usurping all their power?

I think I know the answer, but I'm curious what take other FReepers may have.

"Question: Why did the democrat congress critters stand up and cheer when Ωbamα told them he was usurping all their power?" B/c unlike Republicans, Dems support ea other regardless. They present a united front. If Obama had stood up there and announced he was creating a Dept. of Hip Hop to promote urban music, the Dems wd have bounced up on their feet and applauded madly. It's just what they do.

The image that comes to mind is the part in Star Wars ep.4 about Palpatine disolving the Imperial Senate, the last vestage of the Old Republic.

"Question: Why did the democrat congress critters stand up and cheer when Ωbamα told them he was usurping all their power? " Because...... Obama/Soebarkah is an IRANIAN agent. DIA finally got spooked enough to discover 'Why Obama keeps asking for loose nukes to be loaded onto trucks.' DIA discovered Soebarkah is an IRANIAN agent, then started their counter-intel op. At some point, they sat Obama down and said 'We know what you are, and you're going to keep acting presidential while we finish our investigation and mop this up.' Congress has been told 'just play along until the military can mop this up. If your behavior changes, Iran might get spooked and kill you to shut you up.' After all, nobody (including me for being a jackass and posting all sorts of theories online) wants to get squashed by Iran (Fuddy/Hastings/Breitbart-style) after Ubama spent the past half-decade importing cells of moslem brotherhood and Iran special forces into CONUS. This is perhaps the BIGGEST and SLOPPIEST op in history. Waxman/Hillary/Lindsey/Reid KNOW the jig is up, so they're flipping out, trying to act 'not guilty' and bow out gracefully before they're arrested and placed in front of the firing squad. It ain't over until the fat lady sings the islamic call to prayer, then digs into a triple-decker bacon sandwich.
