Obama Tells Cabinet To "Find Areas Open To Executive Action"

by JASmius

The Obama coup begins:

Barack Obama told his Cabinet on Tuesday to 'be creative' looking for areas where he might be able to govern by executive action given gridlock in Congress that is hampering his agenda.

In a White House meeting, Obama brought together the top officials in his government a day after conceding that a deadlocked Congress will prompt him to act on his own authority where he can on an immigration overhaul.

Obama said he wants to work with Congress where possible, "but if Congress is unable to do it," then he said his Cabinet officials and agency heads should look for areas where he can use executive actions.

"We're going to have to be creative about how we can make real progress," he said.

"The people who sent us here, they just don't feel as if anybody is fighting for them or working them. We're not always going to be able to get things through Congress ... but we sure as heck can make sure that the folks back home know that we are pushing their agenda and that we're working hard on their behalf," Obama said.

My fellow American dissidents, they will find all kinds of "areas open to executive action".  In fact, I would go so far as to say that the tough job for them would be to find areas NOT "open to executive action".  It's a remarkably easy task when the United States Constitution is exiled from the equation.  Or, as it says in Article I, Section 1 of the Obanstitution, "All legislative Powers herin granted shall be vested in a President of the United States of America, who shall hold his Office for as many terms as he sees fit."

Or, as he said himself, "We're going to have to be creative about how we can make real progress."  Because "the people who sent us here" all think like he does, but there must not be that many of them, or there wouldn't be an enemy-of-the-State House opposition "deadlocking" his legislative rubber-stamp machine.  So, as to those enemies of the State and all the people who sent them "here," "[BLEEP] you, [BLEEPBLEEPS]."  Because I guarantee you, these marching orders aren't just for now, but for the rest of his second term, and beyond.

Still think O gives a chili half-smoke about the "risk" of a constitutional crisis, Professor?  It appears to me like he's looking forward to it.
