Allah:
Via CNS, a perfect complement to this morning’s news of the umpteenth ass-covering ad hoc executive rule change to his pet boondoggle. (This little stand-up routine at DNC HQ was recorded on Friday evening, about an hour after he delivered his somber “there will be costs” statement on Ukraine.) Here’s the result of three years of education at Harvard Law plus several years spent lecturing students as a law prof at the University of Chicago: As long as the president’s trying to “fix things” — and “things” very much includes his party’s prospects in the next election — it’s absurd to hassle him over separation of powers. Which, I’m embarrassed to say, isn’t the first time he’s used that rationale. Remember?
[W]here Congress is unwilling to act, I will take whatever administrative steps that I can in order to do right by the American people.
And if Congress thinks that what I’ve done is inappropriate or wrong in some fashion, they’re free to make that case. But there’s not an action that I take that you don’t have some folks in Congress who say that I’m usurping my authority. Some of those folks think I usurp my authority by having the gall to win the presidency. And I don’t think that’s a secret. But ultimately, I’m not concerned about their opinions — very few of them, by the way, are lawyers, much less constitutional lawyers.
I am concerned about the folks who I spoke to today who are working really hard, are trying to figure out how they can send their kids to college, are trying to make sure that they can save for their retirement. And if I can take steps on their behalf, then I’m going to do so. And I would hope that more and more of Congress will say, you know what, since that’s our primary focus, we’re willing to work with you to advance those ideals. But I’m not just going to sit back if the only message from some of these folks is no on everything, and sit around and twiddle my thumbs for the next 1,200 days.
That’s the Obama rule on executive power grabs. If Congress won’t do what he wants and if he can semi-credibly defend his actions as “fixing something” or “doing right by the American people” (or the Libyan people, when it comes to intervening abroad without congressional authorization), he’s entitled to act.
Delusional, self-impressed, arrogant and contemptibly worthless.
It isn’t that Obama is trying to “fix” obamacare. It is that all the problems and design flaws of obamacare were precisely warned against prior to the passage of this socialist power grab, yet critics were lambasted as “not caring about the poor”, “racist” and “wanting people to die”. It is that Obama is violating the law, now with 36 unlawful delays by executive order rather than going back through the legislative branch to try to enact the “fixes” to this deeply flawed (and unnecessary) law.
Obama and his acolytes lied repeatedly on videotape, and no amount of leftist smokescreens can delete the blatant, known lies from Obama:
“If you like your doctor, you can keep him.”
“If you like your insurance plan, you can keep it – PERIOD!”
“If you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes won’t go up, not a single dime.”
“My plan will decrease the cost of health insurance by $2500 a year for the average family of four.”
These are the 4 most egregious lies upon which obamacare was built. Leftists will obfuscate or ignore their lies- despite videotape evidence from Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, and the rest of the national leftist/dem politicians – because they know they cannot defend them.
Every election in November needs to hammer this point home, over and over again. The democrats are solely responsible for obamacare and the negative economic and health impacts. Obama’s approval is down to 41%. Keep reminding people of how bad obamacare is and will be, and see if his approval rating can be where it truly deserves to be in light of the complete failure of his occupation of the oval Office.
TRYING TO FIX IS NOT FIXING IT, SO IT FAILED,
HE SHOULD HAVE LISTEN TO TED CRUZ ASKING TO DELAY IT,
NOW HE HAS DONE MANY DELAY, ITS GETTING INSANE,
I wouldn’t trust Obie to fix a sandwich.
Obama has no Constitutional authority to “fix” laws. His deliberate ignoring of the Constitutional limitations of powers is what makes him a tyrant.

hi,
I”m wondering what they EAT OR CHEW OR SNEEZE, some in their high hill,
they do strange things not fit for leaders , NOT FIT FOR ANYONE, WHO POSESS A POWER OVER SOME OR EVEN ONE HUMAN,
be it in USA, OR RUSSIA,
a real leader never crash if he has too much to think about,
BUT those turn to pick on the people who disagree with them,
THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO GET RID OF THEM AS SOON AS THEY BECOME DICTATOR, THAT IS THE SIGN THEY ARE INSANE, and they don’t have a clear mind for the job requirement,
they become dangerous like HITLER did WHEN HIS MIND COLLAPSE, HE THOUGHT HE COULD TAKE ON THE WORLD,
and he fail miserably,
BYE
MR ELYSA CUMMING, IF YOU CAN’T TAKE IT,
GET OFF THE JOB, YOU ARE DESPICABLE,
YOU TRY TO PROTECK THE ONE THAT LOIS LERNER IS AFRAID TO GIVE,
BECAUSE SHE WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD GET HER KILLED,
YOU ARE INTERFERING IN THE PROCESS, SHUT UP,STOP DISTURBING EVERYBODY,
HELLO !!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA DOES WANT OBAMA WANTS…..
WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED???????????????????
HE HAS ALWAYS SAID WHAT HIS AGENDA IS; HE HAS
BEEN OPEN ABOUT DESTROYING AMERICA, AND YET,
REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES EXPECT HIM TO
ACT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A MARXIST/
COMMUNIST…….
CAN A LEOPARD CHANGE HIS SPOTS ???????????
HE IS WHAT HE IS ……………..
It was you guys on the right who had a hissy fit over ‘You can keep your plan.’ Plans which didn’t cover such things as emergency room visits and certain disease which did not meet ACA standards required YOU the taxpayers to pay for these people. You made such a fuss Obama months ago, decided to allow them to continue for a year. And thanks to the right we get to pay for these crappy plans with out taxes for another year. Geez!

THEY CAN’T TOUCH YOU,
