Obama said, "I refuse to take no for an answer. When Congress refuses to act and as a result hurts our economy and puts our people at risk, then I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them."
After a few choice words about what Obama had to say, I explained the separation of powers, and how legislative powers only belong to Congress (as per Article I, Section 1 of the United States Constitution).
Following my discussion about Obama's dictatorial ways, and what the Constitution says about legislative powers, we discussed the book of the week.
The book of the week is "Republican Court", an 1867 printing that discusses American Society AFTER the Revolutionary War. The book, along with other great books from a bygone era, are available at Prying 1 Books.
To follow up on a listener's call on the New Years Eve show, JASmius and Loki joined me to discuss the history regarding two nuclear submarine disasters, the USS Thresher, and the USS Scorpion.
The 5 Big Stories of the Week were as follows:
Honorable Mention: New Years’ New Laws
5. Fisker Motors Yet Another Failed Obama Investment
4. Rise of Rick Santorum, Bachmann Quits, McCain Endorses Romney
3. Virginia’s Botched Primary
2. Obama’s Recess Appointment
1. National Defense Authorization Act turns United States into a Police State
---------------------------------------
Nuts and Nuggets
Nut: McCain Backs Romney After Santorum's Surge in Iowa. The New York Times was jazzed that McCain is backing Romney. Somebody even suggested that McCain ought to be Romney's running mate. Think about it - Not exactly a winning ticket! The guy who could not beat Obama teaming up with the guy who could not beat McCain. Two losers together at the joy of the establishment.
Nugget: Assailant suffers injuries from fall
Constitutional Speaker on KCAA Sat, Jan 7, 2012
