Carney: Obama Exercising His Executive Authority To Help Americans
WHITE HOUSE
What gives the president the right to [enact measures] by executive order,” NBC’s Mike Vaccaro asked White House press secretary Jay Carney today.
“The things [Obama] is doing administratively, through executive powers are things he can do, the things that do not require legislative action so he is exercising that power,” Carney responded.
Carney says Obama has been doing this throughout his entire presidency and it is only newsworthy at this point since it’s “obvious to everyone” that the Congress is dysfunctional and acting as “obstructionists.”
“He has done and will continue to take the kinds of actions he can, as president, without Congress, to help Americans. To help them deal with this economy. To help them deal with their debt, deal with their mortgages, and through a variety of other measures that he has taken and will take,” Carney told Vaccaro.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama has said how he would love to redo our entire governmant and not have to answer to anyone. He is very dangerous!!!!
Congress needs to severely limit the Presidents power to issue executive orders.
No surprise here.
This is the act of a desparate man, who lusts for power above all other things, and will obviously do anything possible to maintain that status.
We are looking at a man and a group of handlers, (Soros and Co.) who are seeking to control every facet of the Government, while systematically destroying the Constitution and all the things that have made this Country strong for 200+ years.
We are very close to some violent reactions by certain segments of Society, which is one of the things that the above mentioned group is hoping will happen.
We are already witnessing some of this with the appearance of an Ak 47 at the Occupy Pheonix group. If this is not a subtle hint at inciting violence, I miss my guess.
If and when it does occur, and let us all pray that it does not, then Obama and Co. will have achieved a victory. Pitting on segment of the society against another.
The end result, Anarchy.
At that point the Government will have no choice but to step in and take control.
Obama and Co. win. End of story.
obama believes in one man govt. And, he plans to be that man. He claims he is issueing executive orders to care for the needs of us, his subjects. Of course the kool-aid drinkers believe that crap. If he could get by with it I believe obama would issue an executive order extending his presidential term to infinity.
What may be done is really scary. Lincoln ruled almost without legal authority.
Obama was so upset when a corrupt president of banana republic was legally impeached and removed by his congress. I fear what Obama’s attitude toward presidential authority and I fear this “civilian army” Obama keeps talking about. He is likely to transfer full military arms to the organization.
Thank you everyone so much.
This is really concerning!! He is dangerous and each time he does more and more to take over like a dictator. He did two more today and I saw where he plans to do a couple of executive orders a week. He announces it like that…..like a threat. sheesh
