WASHINGTON — One Saturday last fall, President Obama interrupted a White House strategy meeting to raise an issue not on the agenda. He declared, aides recalled, that the administration needed to more aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional obstructionism.

“We had been attempting to highlight the inability of Congress to do anything,” recalled William M. Daley, who was the White House chief of staff at the time. “The president expressed frustration, saying we have got to scour everything and push the envelope in finding things we can do on our own.”

For Mr. Obama, that meeting was a turning point. As a senator and presidential candidate, he had criticized George W. Bush for flouting the role of Congress. And during his first two years in the White House, when Democrats controlled Congress, Mr. Obama largely worked through the legislative process to achieve his domestic policy goals.

But increasingly in recent months, the administration has been seeking ways to act without Congress. Branding its unilateral efforts “We Can’t Wait,” a slogan that aides said Mr. Obama coined at that strategy meeting, the White House has rolled out dozens of new policies — on creating jobs for veterans, preventing drug shortages, raising fuel economy standards, curbing domestic violence and more.

    No…there will be “elections”…rigged elections with fake pre selected “candidates” as usual.

  2. That kenyan in the White House is destroying the country.

    He has declared himself emperor and is doing away with our check and balance system of government. Between executive orders, his destructive deficit spending, and his disregard for the supreme court, someone needs to remove him from office.

    If I could, I would karate chop that vine swinging president right in the nuts.

    exactly

  6. Perhaps the only way to awaken “jelly-fish” to the reality of their enemies is to exceed the high stimulus response threshold ingrained by Skinner’s “rat in a box” training.

    Rebuke their empty skulls until they fill with fire!

  7. Lord Obama is flexing his muscles…Senator Palpatine did the same thing in the Star Wars saga…right before he became Emperor Palpatine.

    Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Lord Obama!! What a laugh. Nothing but a big black stinking mouth. Lying bastard!!

  8. There is precedent here with dictators FDR and Nixon (price controls).

    America is one false flag attack away from the Enabling Acts.

    And American politicians have been quoted in major newspapers saying that America ‘needs another nuke on American soil to get us to accept global governance’. Close is MONTHS away….

  9. Executive Order is a PIECE OF PAPER. By signing it, the President bypasses Congress WHO NEVER EVEN SEE IT. Too many laws get passed this way. Hell, the damn Patriot Act got passed that way, and it dissolved Habeas Corpus, the Miranda Reading, and the Posse Commitatus Act.

    WHAT PRESIDENT!!!

    All we have is a black stinking kenyan, muslim, marxist, son of a woman that hung out in the red light district of Honolulu down dy the docks and ened up fucking a big black African
    junglebunny and then took off with that worthless piece of shit and then had to dump Barry on his white grandmother to raise.

    OBAMA/BARRY!! You are not my President. It is our duty to bring you to justice.

  10. Mein fuhrer’s new executive order, will allow him to by-pass all laws take-over the world …

  11. There definitely seems to be dysfunction in a politically polarized government, particularly when there is so much money at stake. Lobbying ensures that.
    Other forms of democratic governments with no lobbying appear to functiion much better at least at getting things done for the people.
