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.

Needs to be tried for treason and hung by his neck in a public square
What do I think? I think that is precisely what Despots do. I think Barack Obama is exactly the kind of Tyrant the Founding Fathers feared and the reason behind the constraints and limits on government they wrote into the Constitution.
Congress is lame. They would rather try to destroy Obama than work for what is best for the people of our country. Isn’t that what we elected them for ??? It seems they are only interested in their own self-interests…..
IMPEACH HIS ASS BOEHNER
Impeach obuma
jail time for violations
Maybe now we know why Boehner was shedding tears a while back. Maybe it has to do with the thought that BO is blackmailing him so that he doesnt bring Impeachment. What else would explain the fact that we have a traitor in the white house and he is NOT being impeached
Baghdad Bob
