Slowly at first, then all
of a sudden, the Obama administration has devolved into the Obama
regime. Obama does whatever he wants. Those pesky impediments on his
predecessors — namely, federal law, the separation of powers, and the
Constitution — have proved as tough as tissue paper in containing
Obama’s ambition to impose statism on America. From Obamacare to unions
to telephones, it’s basically another day, another decree.
“There is
no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to
enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes.” Justice John
Paul Stevens , 1998
“I have to figure out what I can do outside of
Congress
through executive actions,” Obama reportedly told the Congressional
Black Caucus last month. In Jacksonville on July 25, Obama announced,
“Where I can act on my own, I’m going to act on my own. I won’t wait
for Congress.” As Politico’s Edward-Isaac Dovere explained: “The
president is done caring about congressional Republicans calling him a
dictator.”
It does appear that there's movement
towards acknowledging what we've known for four years. However, the closest
the NR author comes to recommending a course of action is
commenting on a Justice Stevens quote from the Clinton era

Obama
sees things differently. For him, the Constitution is for chumps, and
the law is for losers. In History of the World Part I, Mel Brooks
observed: “It’s good to be the king.” Yes, but it’s better to be Obama. |

What is the difference between God and Obama?

It's a shame there were no hidden cameras on the Obamas the first week or so they were in the White House. I'm sure they were dancing with glee that they would be able to rule by command like medieval royalty or Soviet technocrat. For a "Constitutional scholar" he and his followers were sorely mistaken as to the limits of powers of the Presidency...
ReplyDeleteUhbama is doing better than a king. The king didn't have the world's best personal airplane and a staff of pilots to take him anywhere, anytime, to wallow in adulation, do fun things and avoid actually doing work.
ReplyDeleteA loathesome, malignant, puerile human wrecking ball is calling the shots, and he's doing a frighening job of destroying our country.

They shot JFK for a lot less.
ReplyDeleteHe just vacations, plays golf, and campaigns. I've been convinced for some time now that Valerie Jarrett's actually running the show.
