Anyone that doesn't oppose this President expanding it far beyond what has existed previously is also a fucking hack.
pretty much how i view it.
The executive power has been accelerating and getting stronger with each president. It does worry me what is next?
Anyone who thinks it started with Obama is a hack. each president has had it and each has stretched it to the limit.
Anyone that doesn't oppose this President expanding it far beyond what has existed previously is also a fucking hack.
It's all moot anyways. Regardless of these potential consequences, the current system is not impervious to failure.
Anyone who ignores the blatant and record setting Obstructionism by the Republican Party is a hack. Obama has attempted to work with the Republicans, they have refused to do the same.
This is true. While some conservatives are motivated by an irrational hatred of race, most are simply driven by an irrational hatred of the opposing political 'tribe'. This isn't limited to conservatives, but much of the Obama hate specifically comes from that.
There's some pretty interesting/depressing research on this subject.
"Record setting"? Bullshit.
Let's do a comparison. Here's The Ten Most Abusive Obama Executive Actions
1. Amending Obamacares employer mandate, providing an unauthorized subsidy to congressional staff, and encouraging state insurance commissioners not to enforce certain requirements.
2 Inventing labor law exemptions in violation of the WARN Act so that workers would not receive notice of impending layoffs days before the 2012 election.
3. Waiving the mandatory work requirement under the 1996 comprehensive welfare reform law, which required able-bodied adults to work, prepare for work, or look for work in order to receive benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
4. Ignoring a statutory deadline and refusing to consider an application related to nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain, which activists sought to block for years.
5. Circumventing the Senates duty to provide advice and consent on appointments and instead making recess appointments in violation of Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution when the Senate was actually in session.
6. Deciding not to defend the constitutionality of the federal definition of marriage in court.
7. Implementing Common Core national standards through strings-attached waivers from the No Child Left Behind Act.
8. Intimidating Florida to stop its voter roll cleanup, which included removing ineligible voters such as noncitizens, before the 2012 election.
9. Imposing the DREAM Act by executive fiat under the guise of prosecutorial discretion.
10. Refusing to enforce federal drug laws in states that have legalized marijuana.
Let's see the top ten from Bush. Looking forward to your answer.
C'mon. You guys threw the same hatred at Bush.
You guys pull for your team and against ours, and we do the reverse.

You mad bro?LOL...your looking forward to my answer, oooo aren't I special, lol...My answer : blow me, you must think I have time, or give a shit to google a bunch of Bush's executive order's so I can argue with a wingnut on a message board..lol. Nice list for dictator Obama ya got there..lol. Dictator Bush II issued over 200 executive orders if I recall. Look them up yourself. While your at it, compile us a list of dictator Clinton, dictator Bush I, dictator Regan and all the other dictators who have issued executive orders before them. edumacate us,please lol. Hard to realize how we became the most powerful country on earth and the best place to live with all these dictators dictating or dictatoring while running the country over the last century..lol
You mad bro?
Anyone who ignores the blatant and record setting Obstructionism by the Republican Party is a hack. Obama has attempted to work with the Republicans, they have refused to do the same.
And yet you refuse to see the same crap going on from the left like Harry Reid ignoring the 171 bills the House sent to Senate.

Working with Obama means doing what he wants. That's not leadership.
So, let's move forward 3 years. If there's a a rep in the oval office and the dems are being obstructionistic, will you be ok if the rep prez uses his phone and pen to get the job done? Already know the answer to that one. You'll be in a head-spinning pantie-wetting, frothing rage.
What does the senate have to do with the house republicans working with Obama? Or in your mind do you think the republicans set about obstructing Obama, from day one, only because they knew the senate dems weren't going to vote on "their" bills in the future.
This isn't a, which came first? The chicken or the egg? Debate, we know what came first and we know what's continued since day one. When dems tried working with the republicans early on (remember the few republicans that actually worked with dems on healthcare reform, the republicans did an about face and not one showed up to vote yes. How many times does that need to happen before the dems should give up trying to work across the isle?
Hell! Even republicans who propose something that's not strictly following established party mantra (but whose goals are the same) can't even get support (see the recently proposed tax over haul plan).
But keep your head in the sand Matt, I wouldn't want your ears getting cold

Ah, the proggie deck. Fifty-two race cards and a couple of jokers, just in case you need to play the race card.A black, Kenyan, Muslim, communist, is in the White House!
I don't think some of those are reasonable. For #1, I'm sure some of that is political, but the implementation of Obamacare has been so atrocious that the federal government literally could not bring every company into compliance. The back end simply isn't done yet. For #5, the Pubbies were in session in name only specifically to prevent Obama from making recess appointments, so while this was technically illegal and Obama was rightly slapped down for it, the GOP isn't playing fair here either. For #6, I do not think an administration should defend a law it considers unconstitutional, but rather should ask SCOTUS for an expedited Constitutional review. And for #8, while I am very much in favor of cleaning up the voter rolls, Florida has done a fairly poor job of it, including removing a good number of people who were in fact eligible voters.Let's do a comparison.

Yep, just ignore the Senate all together. Good job hack. Also, if Republicans were actually invited in when the ACA was first written, there wouldn't be 1/2 the problems with the so called "obstructing" Republicans. Bu I guess when you have the majority the Dems did early on in the Obama administration, I guess you don't even need to consider the other side of the isle.
It's almost like you are purposely trolling anytime you talk about the ACA, you just never say a single factual thing about it!

And you can see some if the republicans ideas that made it into the bill:

Of course I expect none of this will matter to you and you will simply dismiss it like you do with all other facts.
So wait, on 5/2009 Obama offered "some concessions" on Obamacare? LOL, ya that's really reaching across the isle. His big concession? "Obama said he was willing to curb malpractice awards" LOL, your failure is unprecedented.
Oh and what did the republicans offer before that or after that? How many voted for the health care bill?
Lol indeed, as I have provided you with examples of Obama reaching across the isle while you have provided "not good enough" as an example of Obamas failure to reach across the isle!
Your idea of reaching across the isle is Obama giving them, not just exactly what they wanted but everything they wanted and anything less than that equals Obama not reaching across the isle.
I hope one day you will realize just how big of a hack you are and just how brain washed you had become before finally waking up and realizing all the lies that have been told to you and that you have repeated without once doing your own fact checking!
Lol! Indeed, you are the joke, the punch line to be exact
