Obama: I Will Use Executive Actions To Implement Recommendations From Task Force On Race Relations
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 19, 2014 | Real Clear Politics

Posted on 12/19/2014 12:50:37 PM PST by i88schwartz

At his end of the year press conference on Friday, President Obama addressed the task force on race relations he put together following the grand jury decisions of the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases. The president says the report will not be "abstract musings" but instead "concrete, practical things" that law enforcement agencies can "begin implementing right now to rebuild trust between communities of color and the police department."

"The task force that I formed is supposed to report back to me in 90 days," President Obama said. "My intention is to, as soon as I get those recommendations, to start implementing them. Some of them I'll be able to do through executive actions, some of them will require Congressional action, some of them will require action on the part of states and local jurisdictions."

Why should he? Has he paid any price for doing so in the past? Has anyone tried to stop him?

He doesn’t respect the constitution, therefore he doesn’t defer to it. He has a coming republican majority congress who has already vowed to not impeach him and has already assumed blame for any future potential “government shutdown” and there are things that he really wants to do to finish transforming America - given that, you really expect him to hold back?

The police will now be trained in tap dancing and soft shoe.

I can’t even bring myself to say that.

There is no branch that has even shown the slightest desire to put an end to this destruction of the Constitution.

If he brings it on, it will be a done deal.

When in the course of human events......

Worth reading IMO. We should be at DEFCON 1 now for the defense of the republic.

I don’t expect some half Zulu alien to get the point of how and why this country was established. What galls me is the dopes who put this asshat in office twice and the dopey GOPe who does nothing about his trampling upon our freedoms and liberty.

There is no news here. Presidents have used their sole authority as executive all the time, and not through executive orders either. Each and every time he does it, it is not noteworthy unless blatantly not fulfilling his Constitutional duties.

This article from RCP is just a rabble rousing generate controversy over things managers do .... even though this manager really blows.

Race baiting is all the Obama’s have left in their bag of tricks. The Democrats will struggle forever to hold middleclass whites in their party while balancing the deep need to keep their people of color on the plantation as well.

And the people seem to be paralyzed.

“Never thought I’d live to see the day America would be ruled by a fascist dictator.”

Fascism has been a part of America since the Woodrow “KKK” Wilson democrat administration. The problem we have is that most Americans wouldn’t recognize fascism if it goosestepped into their bathrooms, which it has.

The potus is going to issue orders requiring implementation by “local” agencies? Let me guess, he will direct who you can rent or sell your house to, or hire in your business.....

Has anyone seen the adorable Jennifer Anniston in a commercial for the rerun “Friends” show where she says nothing but:

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH - BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH - BLAH BLAH BLAH

It’s the look on her face that’s priceless when she says it... A recording of that needs to be played whenever that man appears on TV....
