Ben Johnson,The White House Watch
Barack Obama has made it a purpose of his presidency to bypass Congress and implement his agenda through executive powers. Yesterday,Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell proposed giving him a helping hand.
Just last week,administration officials floated the idea of (mis)using the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling apart from Congress. McConnell,visibly nervous after Obama threatened to withhold Social Security checks and military pay if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling,concocted a convoluted compromise that would give Obama precisely the power to ignore Congress under most circumstances.
McConnell’s backup plan would have Obama tell Congress when he would add to public indebtedness,and only a veto-proof majority of both houses of Congress could tell him no. Obama would split his nearly $2.5 trillion debt request into three parts,which he would propose separately between now and next June. Each time,his request would become law unless Congress denied the authorization by a super-majority of more than two-thirds.
Incredibly,an opposition leader in the legislative branch has introduced a bill that allows a president to appropriate funds automatically unless Congress vetoes him.
Although McConnell publicly…
Senator McConnell –Newt said he gave to President Clinton $one million a month and took it back to pay bills. The republicans did that till after the next e3le3ction. We should do the same with Obama because he is untrustworthy and would use up all the funds you are proposing early and then would come back for more.
McConnell has apparently lost what little backbone he ever had,if he capitulates to this blackmailing imposter,he will earn himself the name of RINO,and put himself on the "need to be replaced list". I thought the Tea Party advocates we elected might have more influence than they are showing us. I wonder if we need to throw the whole bunch out and start over again.
Oblamer says there won't be enough money to pay SS and medicare,but that's another lie,it is purely at the discretion of Oblamer to stop it or let the payments be made. He is a dirty rotten blackmailer at best.

are the pols in DC taking stupid pills or are they that far out of toutch with what the dictator wants. They should read history about WW2,
I would agree that this is all comical event now…with this daily meeting of the President,his staff,the Democrats and the Republicans. Might as well allow the President to raise this on his own,and vote it up or down (would make this shorter in the long-run). If he screws this up…they vote all vote against it.
My guess is that Obama really doesn’t want that kind of authority…he’d just screw up the opportunity.
It is time that we replace IDIOTS/Traitors like McConnell with honest leaders! We as Americans DO NOT need a DICTATOR running our Country!!
I like it;short of love.
