Obama cranks it up - your thoughts?

Interesting watching Obama using executive authority to put the pedal to the metal on issues he knows the Republicans oppose, and evidently he's not through.

This, in the face of the 2014 elections.

Do you think he's hurting Democrats by essentially ignoring the sweeping Republican victories, or are the results of a sparsely-voted mid-term election not representative of a mandate?

Looks like Obama has made up his mind on that question.

He's a seriously rotten asshole. Instead of trying to work with the opposition he's trying to piss them off.

I think he really, really, really hates Congressional Republicans. Not conservative or right-leaning moderate civilians per se, just those politicians who have made his life miserable for the last six years. He's gonna take these next two years and shove them straight up the GOP's ass. Kind of a win-win - do things his way and piss off the GOP.

It is one f...ed up system that allows the president to act like a dictator. I say impeach him now for the killing of four Americans, on 16 year old. Biden won't even know he is president.

Dictators are not elected by an overwhelming majority

Obama is acting within his Executive powers. If Republicans think otherwise they are welcome to challenge him

Silence means consent

The storm will come in July and Obamas legacy is dead

Eviden

Yeah when a Republican President pulls the same crap Obama is doing now the left will be the ones screaming about a lawless President and the right will be the ones looking the other way.

Let's get a Republican President and see

I the mean time, Obama will use his executive powers unless Congress shows some balls to pass some legislation

You may get your wish sooner than you think for a Republican President. Since Harry Reid will not be in charge to kill every piece of legislation that is passed by the House we will now see if the President actually has the balls to back up all his talk about being bipartisan and compromising.

Have the Republicans magically gotten 60 votes in the Senate?

Where do you think those bills will go?

So your claiming the Democrats are the party of no? Maybe the new Senate Majority leader will change the rules so 60 votes to pass legislation will no longer be needed you would be good with that right?

I would encourage the Republicans to end Filibuster once and for all

Think they got the balls?

I wouldn't end it but I would make anyone doing it actually have to stand up there and talk just as Ted Cruz and even Wendy Davis did.
