How many would like Obama to ignore Congress?

[Geaux4it]

Yanno.....................why is it that Obama has used a lot less of his executive powers, and a lot less of his signing statements than any other President, yet he's being accused of being an emperor, tyrant or dictator?

Jr. did a lot worse.

Probably because of what he's doing WITH them. Releasing the 5 terrorists as an example. He bypassed Congress. That is against the law. Yet, you allow it because he's "your guy".

Five terrorists? What crimes did each of them commit? Thought crimes? Wrong place, wrong time?

You slipped that word in there.....as though it is a confirmed fact that those five guys are nasty terrorists. Let's have a factual account of their crimes. You know...the ones they were tried and convicted of.

They're Muslims right?

Actually, he didn't "release" 5 terrorists, he traded a few (meaning 5) for the life of 1 military member.

We don't leave a man (or woman) behind. We do all we can to get them back.

It's written into the laws that military members are supposed to follow.

Your a ******* joke and I'm tired of hearing your military bullshit. You were a deck ape? No? You should be rung up for support of terrorism

Once again the far left shows that they will ignore their own Harry Reid as he tables so many things coming from the house in the standard far left tantrums.

Bills that the House knows has no chance of passing. Do you know what the Hastert rule is? Go look it up.

The Hastert rule is for the House not the Senate.
Reid is using the nuclear option not the Hastert rule.

No shit Sherlock, but the Hastert rule (which Hastert himself calls bullshit) keeps bipartisan bills from making it to the Senate. The only bills the House passes are ones that have only GOP support, and therefore can never pass the Senate.

It's about contents of the EO.

Very true

If Obama used Executive Orders to designate National Assault Rifle Day they would not object
But because he passes Executive Orders that they oppose, it becomes a constitutional crisis

It's BOOOOOSHES fault still huh?

That may be your take on it, but we liberals -- which oddly you claim to be -- didn't have meltdowns when Bush used executive orders. That's the point, that liberals have been consistent, while conservatives have been inconsistent and hypocritical.

Last I checked the GOP didn't allow illegals to be shipped in en masse. Seems he was not responsible for the Obama ordered EPA abuse of power either.

If you could identified any "abuses of power", you'd look less incoherent. As it is, you're just sputtering random senseless ODS buzzphrases. You're going to lose your reputation as a progressive liberal democrat unless you start using your reason. The reality-based liberal progressive community has little tolerance for hysteria.

Yeah, sure. Bergdahls fellow soldiers feel he LEFT THEM behind so they really don't like him. His desertion placed their lives in grave danger and they know it. we certainly don't leave soldiers behind but that doesn't mean we don't leave deserters behind.

You're not a liberal, you're a progressive. Huuuuuuuuuge difference. And they're not buzzwords. They are facts. Facts that you choose to ignore because, once again, he's "your guy", so no matter what laws he breaks you won't care.

How many would like the president to commit a crime? The executive branch cannot ignore the legislative branch of the US government or we are no better than the 3rd world country where Barry Sotoro Hussein may or may not have been born.

Like I said. I hope Mr Obama continues to be inept and a complete utter failure. If he signs the release thus adding to the government dole, over 11 Million criminal aliens, the Nevada ranch will look like a PTA meeting

Progressives could never take the ideas of the Declaration and Constitution seriously for many of the same reasons that Obama cannot ultimately take them seriously. Wilson never demonstrated that the Constitution was inadequate to the problems of his age—he asserted it, or rather assumed it. His references to The Federalist are shallow and general, never betraying a close familiarity with any paper or papers, and willfully ignorant of the separation of powers as an instrument to energize and hone, not merely limit, the national government. Though he thought of himself as picking up where Hamilton, Webster, and Lincoln had left off, Wilson never investigated where they left off and why. Neither he nor his main contemporaries asked how far The Federalist’s or Lincoln’s reading of national powers and duties might take them, because they assumed it would not take them very far, that it reflected the political forces of its age and had to be superseded by new doctrines for a new age. They weren’t interested in Lincoln’s reasons, only in his results. Not right but historical might was the Progressives’ true focus.

Federalists? Ah that propaganda used to sell the US Constitution like the Anti Federalists that tried to stop that BIG FEDERAL GOV'T THING in preference for a more limited states rights thing. ...

That incorrect assumption is only a reflection of the left, anti-gun whack job loons, desire to see more mass killings. That's why they wish for these insane events.

It pleases them.

The poor unfortunate victims are collateral damage in their quest for total control of every aspect of your life

Personally I see nothing that Congress can do to help anything. The only thing I think they could but won't do is curb spending by eliminating waste. But that job always takes a beating by the spend thrift liberals who think a cut in an increase in spending is the same as a cut in spending.

Lately the left has been crowing about some pretty mediocre economic news. News that is pretty much only good for the 1 percent. So taking what they say as true then obviously Congress doing nothing is good for the economy. What the democrats did for the first 4 years after taking control of the government didn't work so well. Now we, if we believe the left, can thank the House for reining in at least what they could of, spending.

The libs all say "NO" as they continue to cheer him on every time he does it.

I bet they even call him on his phone.

Congess has ignored its responsibility to legislate

It has created a power vacuum that Obama and the courts are filling

Republicans are just pissed that in spite of their efforts to gridlock government until they return to power, Obama is still finding ways to lead

"Responsibility to legislate" does not mean "pass crap I like"

Win the house back, until then stop bitching.

Yes it does

It is easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission

Obama should issue as many Executive Orders as he sees necessary and make Congress stop him. Then apologize and keep issuing EOs

Republicans are intent on stopping government at all levels. Legislation, court appointments, ambassadors

Doesn't mean Obama should just meekly go along with them

Well if Ubongo had any brains you would think he would learn from the blocking. He would figure out that the majority of the people are against what he does. Instead he acts like a dictator and does what he wants. Get him out.
