Obama Threatens Congress: “I’ve Got a Pen and I’ve Got a Phone”

[Snaquebite]

“We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we are providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said.

Obama continued: “And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating.”

This is what American "Post Constitutional tyranny" looks like. Is anyone here surprised?

He can do anything he wants to do as long as we're repped by the menagerie of whimpering peekapoos in Congress "opposing" him. Not a full carton of huevos for the whole gaggle.

This guy's running the ship into the ground, the press is running interference, and nobody's doing a freaking thing to stop him.

The Emperor has spoken! The problem is no one told him he can't legislate; only Congress can. Whatever he writes is policy not law.

Obama Not Ruling Out U.S. Military Action In Congress
TO, 14 Jan 2014

Following years of continued fighting and disorder in the troubled region, President Barack Obama revealed today that he has not ruled out taking immediate and decisive military action in the United States Congress.

Admitting that diplomatic outreach efforts in the area have so far proven unsuccessful, the president claimed that his administration is weighing the feasibility of committing combat troops to both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives in order to bring lasting peace and stability to the chaos-afflicted legislature.

“We have not yet made a decision as to how we are going to address this rapidly deteriorating situation, but at this point I can tell you that military action is indeed on the table,” Obama told reporters at a morning press conference, emphasizing that he is “deeply troubled” by the escalating hostilities and diminishing prospects for unity on the Congressional floor. “Clearly, sending our young men and women into this tumultuous war zone is not ideal, and I still hope to resolve the situation through peaceful means. But as the conflict continues to worsen, it becomes increasingly evident that the deployment of our armed forces may be our only real option.”
