Speaking on the President’s upcoming State of the Union speech , White House spokesman Jay Carney reminded the press of Obama’s willingness to sidestep Congress and ignore the Constitution. To prepare for the speech on Tuesday night, the President has solicited his Cabinet members for ideas of executive actions he could enact without Congressional approval that would further his goal of tackling income inequality.
In the first weeks of January, Obama has repeatedly said he has a “pen and his phone” and will use them to bypass Congressional gridlock and help his agenda.
Spokesman Carney said that…
no one should be surprised that Obama’s going to “reemphasize his capacity” as president to both work with Congress and use his executive authority to help create more opportunities for hardworking Americans.In addition to his Cabinet, Carney said the White House is also reaching out to business, faith and community leaders and “average folks” across the country for ideas on executive actions.
On Tuesday, more than 100 independent experts submitted to the White House some 200 ways Obama can build his environmental legacy through executive action.
The President seems to have forgotten America is a Constitutional Republic and that in his Oath of Office he swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. He was elected with an expectation that he would work within the framework of government and not simply steamroll any opposition.

I think he is anti American and fully intends to destroy America. Problem is those in the government who can do something about it refuse. ( head in the sand) due to their own selfish political and monetary reasons. Government sucks from ” from the dog catcher all the way up”.
Impeach!!!! We are not subjects to be ruled by a decree. Enforce the constitution.
Obama should be prosecuted. and face a firing squad for his crimes against the constitution and humanity, If congress hasnt got the guts to face him then We the people should and without delay
What happen to the 3 different branches of government, It is no fault but the president if he can not work with the other 2 branches of government, show he is a weak leader, as the rest of the world already know this, plus he doesn’t lead , he leads from behind and it is every one else fault but his. Plus to blame a TV network and Radio talk host is , so childish.
