I'll give you a hint Walt. It isn't the EO's that are a problem. Everyone here realizes that they have been a tool for the Executive Branch to govern for long before any of us were around. However it is the intent to circumvent the checks and balances within our system and the effects those orders will have that are alarming.
Get it?
Got it...
Do yo think it has anything to do with the lack of meaningful legislation coming out of the GOP controlled house that has caused this circumvention issue? The house has chosen to offer nada-nothing, zip in the past 6 years thus we have EO run a muck.
Get it? The house has offered up plenty of bills, that would advance the countries interest. Your boy Reid refuses to put them up to a vote and your Man Obama will veto them if they pass.
Remember when the government shut down back in 2013 Walt?
Remember that the R's put forth a bill that would have kept the Government running but has a provision to push back the Ocare mandate because the system was not ready?
Do you remember that Obama came out and said he would veto any such bill?
Do you remember that he publicly called the GOP terrorists for putting such a provision in the bill?
Do you remember how he allowed the government to shut down because he said he wouldn't negotiate with Terrorists?
Do you remember the Governement shutting down and him blaming the R's?
Do you remember that shortly after a bill was passed to get the government back up and running that Obama pushed back the deadline for the mandate?
Now do you think that Obama has at any point tried to reach out to the R's and work with them to get a reasonable bill through or do you think it is always Obama's way or nothing?
Now that may give you a glimpse of why nothing has came out of the house has passed in the last 4 years, if it makes them look good Obama won't do it, if it isn't what obama wants he won't budge, if he don't get his way he throws a tantrum. He leads like a petulant child, and nothing can get done with that type of leadership.
