President Obama campaigned on the idea that he was going to “heal” the nation and bring it together after the divisive final years of George W. Bush’s presidency. In particular, the Democrats were continuously vocal about the inability of Bush to “get along” and cross the aisle to get the two parties to work together. The belief that Obama would do better and find a way to bring the parties together now seems hopelessly naive and foolish as we have seen the nation torn apart and the bully president throw his weight around and act more like a dictator than a conciliator.
In fact, were it not for the Democrat parties slavish obedience to Obama’s whims and dictates, he would have neither Republicans nor Democrats working with him. Who can forget, for example, the ultra divisive Obamacare legislation where not one Republican lawmaker supported the constitutionally challenged legislation, but where all the Democrats lined up to support it. Rather than working to respond to legitimate questions, the bill was forced through without even giving legislators time to read the massive document. That lack of input and cooperation are now coming home to roost as problems keep surfacing with the flawed legislation.
Obama once stated that “Democrats won, so Republicans should just be quiet and get out of the way.” That is not an example of someone who wants to work together to bring change, and even some Democrats began to chafe at the heavy handed way that Obama demanded obedience, though they reliably fell into line whenever he demanded.
However, the elections in 2012 and 2014 changed the map and gave Republicans majorities in both the House and Senate, indicating that the American people were also recognizing that the Obama administration was not really working for them and the nation. So much for healing the nation. But Obama is on a mission to transform the country, and he is not about to let a little thing like the democratic process and the will of the people get in the way and keep him from his goals.
Nor is he interested in working with legislators on the left or the right, and so prefers to force his will on the people. But how can he do that since the American system of government says that the legislature makes the laws, not the executive?
Obama’s royal decrees, page 2:
Obama is PARTLY responsible for the hot mess America is in. The other party responsible is the weak and ineffective Congress. Instead of allowing Obama to act like a dictator, the republicans we put into office have caved to Obama–giving him everything he wants. America has a series of checks and balances to prevent this, namely the Congress and the Judicial parts. Both or rather all have let down ALL Americans. That’s why TRUMP will get my vote Also I plan to vote AGAINST EVERY INCUMBENT UP FOR REELECTION IN 2016! Greed and corruption have taken over in Washington, power has been taken from the state levels. This must STOP! ‘If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14. GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS ISRAEL!
That what I think
When is somebody in congress or whoever going to grow a set n arrest him now, if he was,,,[WHITE],,, he wouldve been taken out by now,, NIXON was for much less

Kevin Zajac, love it reminds me of obozo an moochele,
He must be getting paid by bic pens
Youmake me sick. Who do you think you are!
Kinda curious on you thoughts on Rand Paul… He has been a man of action yet everyone tends to be on Trump’s bandwagon… Remember 2 things … Obama said everything his supporters wanted to hear ,just like Trump does now… And Trump supported Hillary when she ran against Barry and Trump has switched parties At least twice since then … Could Trump be a wolf I’m sheep’s clothing or is he the real deal … I am thinking the former … My vote will be for Rand in the primary
I actually like several of the republican candidates, Rand included. I just don’t think they can win. But ANYONE will be better than hillary or bernie!
He will no doubt, go down in history as one of the worst presidents of this country.
