Hell how many times has he made sweeping changes in energy policy ignoring the will of the people via their representatives in congress? He just decides on his own to ruin the coal industry, block oil pipelines, change immigration laws, one man pretending he has the power of congress does that sound like representative government?
Blues, are you talking about releasing energy permits for more drilling? I thought that was the will of the (right wing) people. Or is the complaint that the issue was not carte blanche, as in drill national parks, or timber harvest in national forests...the old meanie! Ruin the coal industry by demanding clean coal? I admit I don't recall if Congress voted down the pipeline or it was an EO, but he didn't CHANGE an immigration law, he upheld one from a previous admin. Do you think stopping a gang of armed adults terrorizing kids on a schoolbus is changing the law? And the 'pretending he has the power of congress' part is pure spin machine output.

Okay you need an education on Obama got it. Lets begin with the letter two Democrat senators from West Virginia sent to Obama early in his first term. Are you aware of this letter? Are you aware how furious these two senators were with Obama over what he did? How many jobs he cost West Virginia?
Blue, I do not know the content of the W Va Senators letters, nor would I ever condemn them for fighting for their people's livelihood. But sooner or later we will be off coal. And the State of W Va, if I have read properly, is darn near ruined as a result of mining, its miners gasping for life as the coal companies screw them out of benefits and pensions, streams blocked by slurry and poisoning livestock, and mountaintops shaved off and dumped onto valleys. This is the picture I have by reading up on coal mines and I am genuinely saddened that this beautiful State is so impoverished even with this resource that has enriched a few. But they could learn from SE Michigan, who sunk all its hopes in auto manufacture and got left twisting in the wind when the factories got old beyond updating and the robots did jobs better and the grass was greener in other parts. Texas revived itself with space programs and technology when oil and cattle ran its course. The Carolinas survived the loss of textiles and Maine survived the loss of canneries. Other places have done the same too. And W VA as well as Michigan is just going to have to adjust or go under. It's a 'what have you done for me lately' world, blue, and it isn't because of the CIC. We either go with the flow or we stagnate no matter who is in the Oval Office.
