We all know that Congress is, to be kind, incompetent. They can't work together on anything. How many of you would like to see Obama bypass all of that nonsense and just use Executive Orders to enact what ever legislation you feel needs enacting?
Just wondering...
You know...............while I was in the U.S. Navy, and I saw someone who was incompetent because they either didn't care, or just hated the command,
I was willing to go above their heads (i.e. to their supervisors) to get things done.
Congress is incompetent because there are a lot of Republicans (like Boehner and McConnell) who want nothing more than to stop the leadership by blocking him at every chance, even if it was something they supported only 6 months ago.
Obama has used LESS executive orders than Jr. did, and if you check the stats, he's done less on the executive order front than any other president.
If Obama can bypass the current do nothing Congress and actually get something done that is positive for this country, I say let him do whatever he needs, and issue as many executive orders as he can to get the business of this country done.
I mean.................Congress isn't going to do it, they hate him, and anything that even remotely supports him scares the crap out of them because it may upset their base.
They're not interested in helping this country, they're only interested in re-election so they can pass bullshit legislation (although, to be fair, they haven't passed much) that will help them soak up more of the corporate money that is coming from the lobbyists.
We the People used to own this country and our representatives via our vote. Now? Our country is owned by the lobbyists and the corporate interests that fund them.
