Proud Liberal
I'll keep this quick because it's late.
Rottweiler, you are a sad, deluded, pitiful excuse for an American. You want to complain about Obama? Good--leaders should always face scrutiny and opposition. Unlike a rare few of my liberal brethren, I don't think Obama is perfect. I think his attacks on whistleblowers is atrocious; Guantanamo should have been closed years ago like he promised; he wants to be the King of Compromise and doesn't get that the GOP would rather let America fall apart than make a deal with him; and some days, it seems like he has no balls.
But paranoid conspiracy heads like you add nothing to the debate. Seriously, you make shit up and act like it's the Gospel. It's not just a question of being incorrect or having alternate views--it's a question of being laughably incorrect and spouting hate. And that's un-American.
Czars are not cabinet-level positions. Therefore, no Senate approval is necessary.1. President Obama has appointed numerous people to cabinet level positions without the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, as is required by the Constitution.
Nothing is legally unconstitutional until the Supreme Court declares it as such. You also claim to know what Obama was thinking, which is impossible unless you have telepathy.2. The push by Pres. Obama to pass healthcare legislation in the Congress of the United States that he was fully aware was unconstitutional.
Just because the Senate does not say "Yes, do this" doesn't mean the senate said "No, don't do this." The EPA has not broken any laws.3. Despite the fact that the United States Senate refused to pass the Cap and Trade bill, the President has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to use regulations to implement key portions of the bill, including those regulating so-called greenhouse gases.
The ban was lifted back in 2010 after the judge ruled against it. Other areas (such as the east coast) remain closed but the judge did not cover all bans, just the gulf. In other words, Obama complied with the judge and is legal.4. Through the Department of the Interior (DOI) Obama has placed a moratorium on offshore oil drilling or exploration off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and in parts of the Gulf of Mexico.
Again with the oil? Obama never authorized any loans to Brazil or Mexico for oil. It was approved by something called the Export-Import Bank.5. Instead of allowing American companies to drill for oil domestically, Obama has betrayed the American people and authorized loans of billions of dollars to countries like Brazil and Mexico so that they can drill for oil, and then sell that oil to the United States.
Obama has never said this nor done this. Border security has more money and men on the ground under Obama than any previous president.6. President Obama has abdicated his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States against illegal immigration.
Mexico asked Arizona's state government to cancel the state's immigration policy. That is not a tag-team of US and Mexico. As for the other nations/states you mentioned, please provide a link to explain the details--I can't find any.7. The President and his Attorney General Eric Holder have clearly violated their oath of office by joining with foreign countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, and Columbia, in lawsuits against the sovereign states of Arizona, Georgia, and Alabama to stop them from enforcing the federal immigration laws.
This actually came from a Senate bill, which was defeated. Obama had nothing to do with it, and besides, it doesn't exist.8. President Obama has ordered the Federal Communications Commission to adopt regulations giving the federal government control of the Internet and its contents, including providing Obama with a kill switch that gives him authority to shut down the Internet if he sees fit.
Obama didn't defend DOMA because the Justice dept. said it was unconstitutional. They were right--the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. You can accuse Obama of seeing the future correctly.9. One of the paramount responsibilities of the President of the United States and his executive branch of government is to enforce and defend laws adopted by Congress unless they are declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
It was a sting operation, plain and simple. A bad one? Maybe. Badly run? Sure. But you are redefining the purpose without evidence. Give me some credible sources saying Obama ginned this one up to scare people into giving up their guns.10. It has been widely reported that acting through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms the Obama administration was involved for months in getting legitimate and law-abiding gun store owners along our southern border to supply weapons to straw buyers who the government knew would deliver them to the drug cartels in Mexico. This was billed as a sting operation against the cartels when in fact it was designed to produce fraudulent data showing that large numbers of weapons were going from the United States to the Mexican drug dealers.
The President cannot declare war but can, and has under numerous presidents dating back to Lyndon Johnson, involve US soldiers in conflicts without calling it a war: Invasion of Panama, for example. As for the rest of #11, it's just so much bullshit that I don't have the strength to fight it.11. The President of the United States is not authorized by the Constitution to take our nation to war without the consent of the Congress of the United States.
Oh, god. You're one of those nutjobs. Listen, the auto industry bailout began under Bush, not Obama. Banks were bailed out, not nationalized. No insurance companies or other parts of the healthcare industry have ever been nationalized. Every president issues executive orders. Laws passed through in the dark of night? What, did Obama hire Batman to get the ACA passed?12. Last but not the least of my dirty dozen of impeachable offenses, is the fact that since taking office the President has used executive orders, laws pushed through Congress in the dark of night, and administrative actions by his departments to nationalize and control automobile manufacturers, banks, insurance companies, and portions of the healthcare industry.
