President Barack Obama says hes going to push the limits on presidential power as far as he can go during the last two years of his tenure.
Where [elected Republicans in Congress] are not willing to work with us, we will do it administratively or we will convene the private sector, he said in a friendly interview with The Huffington Post.
By hook or by crook, he added.
Obama said his big-government push would make sure that when I leave this office, that the country is more prosperous, more people have opportunity, kids have a better education, were more competitive, climate change is being taken more seriously than it was, and we are actually trying to do something about it.
In practice, Obamas agenda includes more progressive control over peoples salaries, education practices and the energy companies. Each expansion means that state and local governments plus large and small companies will cooperate with regulators to push progressives goals, instead of trying to please Americans voters, taxpayers and free-market consumers.

This is the truth; but take a look at things like the refusal to defund ObamaCare and you begin to see something else: they agree with this drive to expand government power.
Of course. Particularly turncoats Boehner and McConnell who hide behind the skirts of their Sisters in Tyranny—the Democrats.
Wel, I hope he, Michelle, Valerie and the kids will be comfortable in the Führerbunker.
“...or we will convene the private sector.” (Obama)

Excerpt:
PROBLEM FIVE WHAT TO DO WITH BUSINESS WHETHER TO LIQUIDATE OR SHACKLE IT
There was a Director of the Budget who was not at heart a New Dealer. One day he brought to the President the next annual budget the one of which the President afterward said: “The country, and I think most of Congress, did not fully realize the large sums which would be expended by the government this year and next, nor did they realize the great amount the Treasury would have to borrow.”
At the end of his work the Director of the Budget had written a paragraph saying simply and yet in a positive manner that .....the government had really no thought of going into competition with private enterprise.
Having lingered for some time over this paragraph the President said: “I’m not so sure we ought to say that.”
The Director of the Budget asked, “Why not, Mr. President?”
The President did not answer immediately, but one of his aides who had been listening said: “I’ll tell you why. Who knows that we shall not want to take over all business?”
The Director of the Budget looked at the President, and the President said: “Let’s leave it out.” And of course it was left out....
Business is in itself a power. In a free economic system it is an autonomous power, and generally hostile to any extension of government power. That is why a revolutionary party has to do something with it. In Russia it was liquidated; and although that is the short and simple way, it may not turn out so well because business is a delicate and wonderful mechanism; moreover, if it wi11 consent to go along it can be very helpful.
Always in business there will be a number, indeed, an astonishing number, who would sooner conform than resist, and besides these there will be always a few more who may be called the Quislings of capitalism. Neither Hitler nor Mussolini ever attempted to liquidate business. They only deprived it of its power and made it serve.”
By “crook” alright.
Time is going to catch up to you Barry, you can count on it.
They obviously don't want to stop this. Simple as that.
I don’t think it would take Ted Cruz that long...maybe a three day weekend.
Indeed. Big Government could be ended so easily. Simply take away the power to issue debt in a fiat currency.
“I dont think it would take Ted Cruz that long...maybe a three day weekend.”
Surely you under rate the man. All it would take is one sweeping EO nullifying all that came during the reign of the poser. Give Ted 10 minutes and it would be done. In the next ten have another EO declaring all of the regulations brought about without Congress the same.
Then go out and grill some steaks.
I'm waiting for my summons.....
Words fail. WOW.
Prison is only semi permanent
When little men spout big words, bad things happen to them.
Epic fail doubles down.
So let it be written so let it be done.
Brutus, oh Brutus....... wherefore art thou Brutus
The Praetorian MSM has his back.
Think Caligula and the Praetorians
Make a great name for an alternate band.
Senator Cruz has my vote.
I am eager to see him loudly and frequently denounce
Obama’s War on America’s Middle Class and
Obama’s War on Black Americans.
Let’s use the TRUTH as a weapon against Obama’s hard-left leeches...
