You said “I disagree. The problem is not Barack Obama. He simply makes the problem clear. The problem is that we’ve empowered a single person to pass new laws through regulation without popular consent.”
No, BO could not have done what he has done without that crucial 2007 election which gave him both the house and the senate. I was just heartsick that day in November and more so in Nov. 2008.
We’ve empowered (not me anyhow) all of Washington to ram through anything that darn well takes their fancy.
You, me and everyone else here on FreeRepublic is responsible for the problem. We did not stand up and, think and get involved effectively enough. Our sin is one of inaction rather than action.
Blaming BO is too easy and superficial.
By taking responsibility, I am empowering myself. This presidency didn’t just happen to me. I myself was not paying attention and expected Republicans to do things that were in my interest. Instead I’ve let them off the hook as they feel free to blame BO.
