Obama to Congress: We're not waiting for legislation
Sacramento Bee ^ | Jan 14, 2014 | Anita Kumar

Posted on 01/14/2014 5:43:24 PM PST by Innovative

President Barack Obama sent a message to Congress Tuesday: He plans to use his power whenever he can to move his agenda forward.

"We are not just going to be waiting for a legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need," Obama said before a Cabinet meeting. "I've got a pen and I’ve got a phone -- and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward."

Obama said he told members of his Cabinet the need to use all the tool available, not just legislation, to advance his mission.

He needs to be impeached. He’s a dictator.

The only tool any President has to move an agenda is legislation. There are no other tools....

Perhaps if Presidnt Obama had better people skills, the ability to relate to people he disagrees with, and wasn’t such an arrogant a—hole, he might actually be able to get a few things done the legal way....

He has no need to obey the law, the Republicans are neutered.

And come November when we get a GOP Senate...we ain't listening to complaints from the WH.

Impeach that gay negro from Kenya.

And even if he ain't from Kenya or even a Negro...impeach him anyway.

All this said...he is certainly gay...and too darn happy too.

Let's get rid of this gay commie toad. Color has nothing to do with it.

A real American of any race is welcome at the WH...but gay commies are a horse of a different color.

And take your race baiters like Holder and Sharpton and Matthews with you.

This Country would be better off without them. And better off without you!

Impeached?? A snowball stands a better chance of surviving a blast furnace for an hour than the possibility of either the House charging, and the Senate convicting Obama and his minions of high crimes and misdemeanors.

History teaches this lesson very clearly, but somehow, Americans today would rather not think about it: dictators and tyrants do not leave power except by the threat of force.

He won’t be impeached. The Republicans are too scared of being called racist.

After the midterms they will have the votes and, hopefully the will.

And the Republicans are going to hold the House and take the Senate in 2014—How?

They sure as Hell aren’t giving me any reason to vote for them.

He needs to be impeached. He’s a dictator.

Dictators usually aren't impeached. They are usually violently removed from office by angry mobs and hung out to dry... literally.

That, or when it appears they have lost their hold on power, they secretly go into exile or shoot themselves in their bunkers.
