Republicans tout campaign to blunt Obama's executive powers

[DonViejo]

House Republicans say they’re proud of their 2013 campaign to stymie President Obama’s regulatory agenda, even as Congress comes under fire for one of its least productive years.

The bitterly divided Congress will pass fewer laws in 2013 than any year in modern history. As a result of the gridlock, President Obama has turned to his administration’s regulatory authority in pursuit of key policy goals, including efforts to tackle gun violence and climate change.

While House Republicans have pinned the blame for Congress’ anemic legislative output on Senate Democrats, they make no bones about their efforts to blunt Obama’s rulemaking power.

“We’re left with no choice,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). “The president can’t just go it alone, that’s not who we are as a country.”

1. The President isn't "going it alone", Chaffetz.. He's going

for the People and you're going for the 1%ers.

So, enough of the bullshit.. quit hiding behind your stupid lies.

Who we are as a county is defined by the majority of People who voted for President Obama.. not your candidate who spoke for the corporations.

2. It's a pretty smart strategy

Most people in this country know next to nothing about the executive agency rulemaking authority, appointment power, and other aspects of the administrative state. Hence the freakout over czars, "dictator" nonsense, and so on.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of people think what's ordinary authority is actually grounds for impeachment.

3. Somehow they managed to get the dumbest

people possible running our government. I'm convinced these idiots don't even pick out their own clothes in the morning. Keep up the good work dipshits it's working out great for you.
