The President's Ignoring Legislative Process and Writing Regulations Instead. Any Leftists Concerned About This?

This egoist person fulfilling the office of the President of the United States, thinks he’s above the law; not that his job is to enforce it and the Constitution. I’ve written previously about his abuse of power here. The Left/Dems are certainly taking the short view of using regulations and executive orders to circumvent laws for short term political gain.

The idea they have is short term political gain, not the law and not the Constitution, but to force their ideology upon Citizens. Obama says this is necessary because he’s being blocked by Republicans. Currently there are over 300 bills the Republican controlled House has passed and sent to Congress. It turns out there’s usually that many pending bills waiting in the Senate regardless of who’s ruling that roost. It’s been that way for years, even decades.

The lie of the president is that Republicans are obstructing, not passing bills. All his pet subjects, immigration and environmentalism especially, aren’t getting passed with the outcome he wants. Harry “Dusty” Reid, president of the Senate, has refused to bring any of the legislation passed by the House on those and other subjects for debate and voting for political reasons. They have gone five or six years not passing a budget as required by law. Democrats, with the president, do not obey the law, and there’s no punishment.

Previous presidents dealt with opposition to policies they wanted to enact legally. They found a way to enlist the help of the citizens that forced the hand of legislators (Reagan was brilliant at this) or rewrite a compromise, which is what politics is about. It tempers extremism on both sides of the aisle. Not this guy. He’s a totalitarian extremist. His way or the highway.

Thus we had the issue with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). He sent up names of extreme Leftist union thugs for nomination that were not approved by the opposition. Democrats had previously when blocking Republican nominations, set up minute long sessions every three days to keep congress in session so the president couldn’t do “recess appointments”. Republicans used that Democrat tactic. Obama, like the totalitarian he is, appointed his union thugs anyway. It went to the Supreme Court, he lost (even the Leftists on the Court agreed so the ruling was unanimous) because congress was in session. What he did by making the appointments was illegal.

His current pet project is to open the border to Mexico, Central and South America. The political opposition wants to secure the border and enforce the laws regarding immigration. The president couldn’t get the DREAM act passed through legislation, so he ignored it, and wrote a regulation that was in fact the DREAM act (Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] and made legal lots of illegal [estimated over a million] (criminal) invaders of our country legal.

That’s just a couple of issues as examples of his violating the Constitution, ignoring legislation, and flat out using his totalitarian mindset to force his ideology and hunger for political power upon the citizens.

Imagine if a Republican president had this totalitarian mindset? One of Conservative’s political ‘what if’ games is if a Republican, Christian or Conservative did something a secularist or Leftist did, what would be the consequence. Can you imagine if a Republican president did the same, and for example just wrote executive orders dismantling ObamaCare? How about an executive order not enforcing tax laws on corporations. How about executive orders stating citizens could opt out of ObamaCare if they created a payroll deduction for a medical savings account, or opt out of Social Security if they had payroll deduction for a retirement account. Just going crazy here, how about an executive order that all Democrats could not take tax deductions because we want to help them walk the talk of supporting massive government. That way they wouldn’t be hypocrites. Sorry about the unrealistic last statement, just couldn’t pass it up.

But who, before Obama, thought any president would just ignore the constitution and write legislation and get away with it?

The totalitarian we have running the executive branch, just like his Leftist anti-freedom, anti-Constitutional political party, I think are counting on the Republican Party and Conservatives not to act the same way when they get back in power. Then again I’m thinking, they probably think they will never be out of power. Pray they are wrong.

Democrat Non-Budgets and Other Failures

We’re coming to the annual budget battle in Congress, and the Establishment Leftists/Democrats will once again start their propaganda campaign of blaming the out of power Republicans for not providing a budget, or obstructing getting a budget passed, that they want to starve babies and old people, want to have dirty water and air (yes they actually state these as fact), create more homeless and deny medical care to everybody.

A budget is supposed to be completed by April 15, by law. The Senate Dems have not passed a budget since 2009. Obama’s 2013 budget proposal was rejected 414-0 by the House and 99-0 by the Senate. White House Spokesman, Jay “Bagdad Bob” Carney, in the opening salvo of lies about the budget and fiscal responsibility said, “It’s simply not acceptable to hold the American and global economy hostage to one party’s political ideology. It’s the responsibility of Congress to ensure that the United States of America pays its bills, maintains its creditworthiness.”

Republicans have offered four budget proposals, one of which passed the House and was rejected by the Democrat controlled Senate. But of course it’s the Republican’s fault. The failure of this administration and his political party to get the job done is being fuzzed up by the Democrat controlled Reelect Obama Press. Here’s a list of some other the failures by the Democrats and this Administration.

According to the Census Bureau, since Obama took office, real median household income is down $4300.

30% of the unemployed have been out of work for more than a year.

We are at nearly 40 months of unemployment at 8% plus. I remember Leftists screaming bloody murder when it bumped up to 5% under Bush, now it’s the “new normal” that we have to accept. That 8% doesn’t include people that have used up their benefits plus others that are no longer looking for work or are underemployed. With those we’re closer to 17% unemployed. I forget the exact breakdown, but of the past 11 or 12 months, the Administration has revised upward the unemployment stats from the previous month; with barely a mention in the Reelect Obama Press. If a company fudged their numbers like that, the would be civil and criminal charges brought. 

The number of people on food stamps has increased 70% since 2007. Several Democrat "leaders" have said this is good for the economy. They've also said the unemployed spending their government checks helps the economy. Huh? 

Home prices are the lowest they’ve been since 2002, foreclosures have skyrocketed, and home ownership has plummeted.

Just got your degree? About 50% of college grads are unemployed or have taken a lesser job than their degree would usually net them. Some of this has to be blamed on the ex-students that majored in things that don’t apply to the real world; gender studies, medieval lit, etc.

Gas was about $1.88 when Obama took office, now it’s up to about $3.89 a gallon. Note about myself, it cost me about $45 to fill my 13gal tank last week (actually put in 11.something). Obama and his Energy Sec Steven Chu have both said they want to drive energy costs up. I guess one could call that a success, at least for them and the Democrats.

Remember Obama during his campaign saying no new taxes would be raised on those making less the $250,000 a year? Two years into Obamacare, most of the $500 billion in taxes raised by the act have come from people making less than that. A small item, but remember the tax on tanning salons? Lot’s of little stuff like that is hidden in Obamacare, and there will be massive increases in 2013 if it’s fully implemented. As the first female ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said during the debate of it's passing, "We have to pass it to see what's in it." Well, we are now. 

As of last February we had incurred the largest deficit in US history, about $30 billion. National debt now approaching $16 trillion! This president has increased that more during his administration more than all his predecessors combined. He’s added more debt in 38 months than Bush did in 8 years.

For this election, Obama, who rails constantly against the rich and especially Wall Street, has taken more money from them than all the Republican candidates combined. Beyond ironic, or something, that he rails against Romney and Republicans being in the pocket of Wall Street. They financed about 20% of his 2008 campaign, and they’ve already given more to him and the Democrat Party than to Romney and the Republicans this election cycle.

All this failure, and yet the Reelect Obama Press, Obama, and the Democrat Party will shamelessly continue to blame Bush and the Republican Party for them all, and in the next few weeks they'll threaten to shut down the government (again) because Republicans (again) will baulk at raising the debt ceiling without passing a budget. Citizens that are busy working and raising families and not paying attention to all this, will think it is so.

America Rising (vid) Time to Send Statists Packing!

Whooohooooo!!! This is Great! In honor of the win of Scott Brown in Massachusetts winning the people's senate seat. Even a socialist state has seen that the Statists have gone too far.
