Obama set to announce 'practical' agenda focusing on immigration, income equality | Fox News

(CNN) - White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said President Barack Obama's plan to take more action in 2014-even without congressional approval-shouldn't be considered a threat to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

"I don't think it's confrontational. It's 'Let's find areas to work together,'" he said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "There are some items right before Congress we can do together."

He mentioned immigration reform, extending unemployment benefits, patent reform and the farm bill as possible items that could be accomplished with bipartisan support.

But, Pfeiffer added, "the President is not going to tell the American people that he's going to wait for Congress."

Which part of "I'm going to sign Executive Orders if I don't get my way" is not specifically a threat to Congress?

At what point does the body of Representative and Senators become little more than figureheads? Immigration reform, income equality and Lord only knows what else. Seriously?

How far will he be allowed to go before enough is enough?

When will we get a Congress with a backbone that will stand up to him?

Obama is such a big disappointment for America. Apparently, OBama is allowed to do what he wants to do with that pen & phone. It really comes down to that because nobody on the opposite side can work with him because he want show any compromise. I mean, whose going to stop this mad man? All lawmakers, Democrats Republicans or Independents, can't meet with him because OBama only surrounds himself with like minded people & only hears what he chooses to hear.

To say it best. Yes he's been a big disappointment.

What I really meant to say was a huge pile of dung in the WH.

Right up to the point he's removed kicking and screaming...

I hope this daily nightmare ends a lot sooner than later.

I agree with you.

Unfortunately, there are many that won't see it that way.

There's plenty of people that see him for what he really is, but at the end of the day he holds the ultimate trump card, yeah you guessed it...the race card.

The House and Senate have been figureheads for decades. Their entire function is to not function.

 

[T-TownVol]

Does not give the WH, no matter who holds it, the right to pull this crap.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The House and Senate have been figureheads for decades. Their entire function is to not function.

Translation: Their entire function is not to go along with an idiot that's in charge of driving us over the cliff.

And that basically gives the President power to act like a dictator?

Scoff and refute that if you want, but if this was happening in a Third World nation, that's exactly what we would be calling it.

 

[FLVOL69]

With his economic policy's and obummer care we're on track to becoming a third world country.

Edit: for over 200 plus years the constitution has been misinterpreted , unfortunately for us his xo's will straighten all that out.

 

[lawgator1]

Well, it could be that he isn't going to do anything all that unusual by executive order, but that the usual far right hysteria machine has seized on this just to continue their relentless campaign to delegitimize everything about him.

Hyperbole much?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

A representative republic is filtered and lagging by nature and design. The immediate issues of our own time seem critical...but seen in the timeline of the country can only be a moment. The country has endured many changes and even civil war. In the long run, Americans are a freedom loving people who will not be enslaved. We remain a self correcting people.

 

[Grand Vol]

Hyperbole much?

Emulate the ostrich much?

I'll give you a little leeway since so far it's only words. Having said that, the threat of using Executive Orders and throwing a temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way is very much evident.

Every party says the POTUS from the other party is power grabbing.

Every Party from the opposite party of the POTUS tries to Delegitimize everything about him.

See I can do it too.

 

[UTVOLKeith]

Obama(presidential) orders are only as good as the Attorney General...

Show me a legal challenge to any of his orders that has seen a ruling by a Judge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Show me even one!!!!!!!!!

No federal law enforcement agency is gonna enforce any of his garbage>>>>>>>cause it is a straight shot up the legal ladder....

Not like what we got with this clown. His policies are wrong for America's growth & financial wealth. Actually, they do just the opposite for helping the economy. His policies have a strangle hold on small business growth.
