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.

He ought to reemphasize to the president that that is unconstitutional and illegal and no one in this country is supporting him in those actions except a few senators
jailhouse time.
Why does this wimp always look like he is ready to cry?
Congress has to stop this one man show against America !!!!
Hang them all, off with there heads.
Hang the dictator
Ass kissing mouth piece for Obama and both are pathological liars.
Well, if Obama thinks he’s going to continue down the path to dictatorship by bypassing Congress and ignoring the Constitution of the United States then I suppose it will be left up to We the People to take OUR Country back from the illegal Kenyan that occupies OUR White House and restore the United States to what is was originally intended to be : The Greatest Experiment in SELF RULE, not a dictatorship. Who’s with me ?
OFF WITH HIS HEAD. TREASON IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY THE HANGMAN’S NUCE OR A FIREING SQUAD, OBUMA HAS FAR EXCEEDED TREASON .
Let the Supreme Court decide if the Constitution gives him that power. If not, impeach him. If so, let’s move to Canada…if they’ll have us.
