This is why Obama is the Worst President Ever for the U.S.: he is the type of President the Constitution was designed to prevent, hence is efforts to destroy it.
JONATHAN TURLEY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch.
This Newtonian orbit that the three branches exist in is a delicate one but it is designed to prevent this type of concentration. There is two trends going on which should be of equal concern to all members of Congress. One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction.

yeah that hearing was not really covered by the MSM
wonder why
Because the MSM is in the business of doing stories that the public will actually watch or listen to or read.

They hate infrastructure, science, r@d that doesn't go to the war machine and helping the poor.
The gravy train of money to fossil fuels is totally different.

Your point of view makes most of your posts little more than cliches.
Boring. Predictable.
That and they are usually wrong.
Anyone on the right remember when Cheney founded his very own fourth branch accountable to NO ONE? Didn't think so. You guys allow incredible shenanigans when Rs are in power to the dismay of everyone else and then cry about shit when Ds are in power knowing for a fact that your guys set the precedent and will not do a god damned thing to pull back those powers because they know they will get the white house back one day. The frigging hyperbole is getting old, somehow we survived GWB and we will survive Obama, there will be other Republican presidents who will REALLY, REALLY push the envelope of executive power and every single one of you will demonstrate without a bit of shame that you have not learned a thing.

When the entire ship is sinking tell me why in the hell you guys are so stuck on what the PREVIOUS Captain did???
Wouldn't it make the most amount of sense to avoid sinking right now and leave the bickering about Cheney and Bush et al. until AFTER our future survival is more of a certainty?
And why in the hell do Conservatives have to convince you to save your own asses rather than pointing fingers and playing tit4tat????

I think he has a sticky key that he presses and the whole load drops into the post....like a baby drops one in his diaper.
Smells about the same too.

Because executive expansion is a republican thing, but only when republican presidents are in office. Democrats tend to stay within the bounds set by the court cases they bring challenging the expansion of powers. The title suggests that Obama has become something unprecedented when in reality he is just using the powers he inherited from GWB. We keep going on about him because you people are apparently forgetting he ever existed and that you once loved him and viciously enabled all this shit.
RUSH: OBAMA LIE BIGGEST EVER OF ANY PRESIDENT
'Nixon resigned over a lie much less damaging than this one'

On Friday’s program, radio host Rush Limbaugh put the Obamacare rollout fiasco into historical perspective, declaring that in many ways, the current scandal is worse than Watergate.
“Folks,” Limbaugh told his audience, “Richard Nixon resigned over a lie that was much less damaging in scope than this one.”
“The bottom line,” he said, “is that Obama, the regime, knew that 93 million Americans would be unable to keep their health care plans under Obamacare. … I mean, this is an abject, purposeful lie to the American people for the express purpose of passing legislation.”
The other aim of Obamacare, Limbaugh insisted, was to undermine the private insurance business itself.
He pointed to an “obscure report buried in a June 2010 edition of the Federal Register,” in which White House officials matter-of-factly predicted that Obamacare would create “massive disruption of the private insurance market because that’s what was intended.”
Limbaugh replayed an audio montage of Obama’s repeated promises that Americans who were satisfied with their existing health insurance could keep their plans following the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Limbaugh called these promises “a total fraud.”
The Affordable Care Act, Limbaugh continued, “is a purposeful, deceitful, fraudulent law.”
“I think Obama’s lie about keeping your insurance may be the biggest lie ever told by a sitting president. This is not an error. It was not a mistake. This was a calculated, purposeful lie.”
Limbaugh added the mainstream media to his list of offenders. He called their biased pro-Obamacare coverage “media malpractice” and “one of the worst examples of modern day journalism in my lifetime.”
For all intents and purposes, Rush said, the media is “just the PR firm of the Democratic Party.”
Along with Nixon, Limbaugh compared Obama to his Democratic predecessor Lyndon Baines Johnson.
With the revelations of outright deception that reach as high as the White House itself, Limbaugh remarked, “You’re getting close to LBJ territory.”
“They were lying through their teeth about Vietnam and other things.”
Limbaugh agreed with a caller who said facetiously that Obama is no longer the president as such, but the “official spokesman for Obamacare,” rather like a paid pitchman.
The Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon’s resignation is widely considered one of the most traumatic national events in 20th century American history. It greatly increased the public’s cynicism regarding the political system. Press revelations of Nixon’s “dirty tricks,” such a botched break in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Washington, D.C., Watergate building, were compounded by Nixon’s repeated insistence that he had done nothing wrong. Rather than face impeachment, a disgraced Nixon resigned as president Aug. 9, 1974.

SOMEONE has taken their eyes off the prize.
You really have no idea just how badly he has performed, huh?
I could list the 462 lies he's told.
Or maybe you've been too OCCUPIED to notice the 50 lies he's told.
Or the impressive Articles of Impeachment he's prompted others to document.
But, for now I'll just leave you with what sets him apart from ALL the other presidents so you will be able to force your mind to accommodate this new paradigm.
In fact, Barack Obama is SOOOO bad that he is even worse than NIXON!

Not exactly....he was balls to the wall crazy about impeaching Clinton..
Yikes. A little surprising seeing Turley say that, he's not a right winger.
Interesting.
.
He's got an impeachment fetish.
