Ben Johnson,Floyd Reports
This morning,political commentators are paying a great deal of attention to one of the Los Angeles Times’ stories about Barack Obama’s plans for a Republican takeover of Congress. Unfortunately,they are focusing on the wrong one. Most commentators spent the morning quoting the president’s remarks on a black radio program that a GOP-dominated Congress will result in “hand-to-hand combat.” The reality is most of the action will take place behind their backs and over their heads. All indications are,if Obama cannot get his legislative agenda enacted by Congress,he will impose it by decree.
The evidence comes buried elsewhere in today’s L.A. Times in a piece by Peter Nicholas and Christi Parsons under the hum-drum headline,“Obama Reshapes Administration for a Fresh Strategy.” The story makes clear the “fresh strategy” borders on government by executive fiat. It begins,“As President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term:to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress.” This rule by divine right of kings is confirmed by no less an Obama insider than David Axelrod,who said,“It’s fair to say that the next phase is going to be less about legislative action than it is about managing the change that we’ve brought.” The Times states candidly:
So the best arena for Obama to execute his plans may be his own branch of government. That means more executive orders,more use of the bully pulpit,and more deployment of his ample regulatory powers and the wide-ranging rulemaking authority of his Cabinet members. (Emphases added.)
Good article.
Andy Stern said the other day:"If we cannot prevail by force of persuasion,then we will by presuasion of force".
Impeachment should begin in 2011 if the republicans take over. He is killing our country with his evil policies. He thinks he is a king or a dictator. He really should go to prison ASAP for treason,fraud,ID theft,etc.
OBAMA IS A DICTATOR:WITH THAT SAID…WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WAITING FOR…no one in this government congress,senate,judges etc..will lift a finger…i would like to know WHY? is that too much to ask from my government…MUST BE…we have LT.COL. LAKIN he could be JAILED..no one
in their right mind would put theirselves in jail if he didn't believe in what he's doing..LT.COL. back in court OCT 13th..my GOD BLESS him,and may obama go to hell …
Yes,so either tens of millions of people are in on this giant conspiracy –or you people simply got it wrong. Ever thought of that?
Who do you trust anyway since 68+ million people voted for the uppity darkie in the elections. All friends of the dictator living right next to you,so beware,right?
This is a serious consideration. Executive orders are "emergency"decrees. That is how Hitler took over Germany (Obama did the same thing here). Emergency powers invoke the "Law of Necessity",a survival measure which knows no law. One may do whatever is necessary to save his life.
When an "emergency"is declared,the Constitution and all law is suspended,the President becomes a military dictator in a martial law administration. This country has been in a continuous state of emergency since 5 March,1933. Our involvement in war also constitutes an emergency situation. This might explain why the Constitution and rule of law is now meaningless.
Hitler did not abolish the Weimar Constitution,he just kept re-declaring an "emergency"keeping it in a constant state of suspension. We are in big trouble.
What is wrong with Oman's nose? It's always up in the air. Is he doing some sort of wind test,before he swings his golf club with the horrible golf swing he has.
he is a practicing muglim opiated crack head so he needs to keep his nose from running in public
Just how long will it take our congressmen to realize that the criminal sitting in the Oval office has got to go! That's what the country wants,so why is it taking so long?
