The story is about democrats upset that he will negotiate a deal not advantageous to our nation, but in light of the Cuba negotiations, and the negotiations with China over pollution, why would ANYBODY not question the wisdom of letting this happen?

Would like to see veto-proof legislation that would deem the office of President to be in a permanent golf vacation. Said legislation to expire 1/20/17. This would include invalidating the final act of pardons.

Congress is not legally allowed to give this power to the President. This power is codified as being the sole responsibility of Congress and is NOT transferable.
What Obama is doing here is illegal and flies directly in the face of Congressional law. Why it is that no single member of Congress cares or does anything about this is unconscionable.

Silly question: I don’t think it matters at all what we want.

We shouldn’t be allowing him to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. much less doing anything for us.
The guy isn’t of this continent much less this Nation.

The Lobby King Boehner and his buddy McConnell will pass it because the internationalist crony capitalists want it. And, as shown in the election for the Speakership, when they talk, Congress doesn’t hear us.

0bama would tie all agreements to gay rights and global warming progress.
This administration is already doing this to Central America, where giving extra rights to “oppressed natives” is driving countries to the same ends as the native movements in both Hawaii and New Zealand.

I realize I need to clarify my prior statement.
Through our diplomatic pressure, we are pushing for native, gay, animal and environmental “rights.”
I should have included the other issues.

Here we go again, this is definitely this guy’s modus operandi just like the bank bailouts, just like the healthcare law, this is once again an attempt to get a huge payday with no prying voting public, or even Congressional eyes. They are crazy to pass this bypassing of Congressional oversight.

I think a better question is as it relates to congress, does it matter at all what we want?
