Obama threatens GOP with executive orders on 'drawer full' of ideas
2013-11-11
"Mr. Obama also said that, because he's run his last political campaign, he's looking to build his legacy and leave the U.S. a bitter better place."
Rule by Decree. What a happy legacy. He'll be remembered for years.
Remember the story about the Three Wishes: no matter what you wish for with your first two wishes, unless the Good Fairy specifically forbids it, your third wish is always for more wishes. Keep that in mind when Champ starts ruling by decree: one of those decrees might be to reset certain, ah, electoral issues that have been vexing him and his supporters.

Paranoid? Perhaps. I prefer to think of it as 'wary'...

#16  I have to broadly agree wid #14, widin the context that the Bammer is empowering + entrenching the anti-US Marxist-Globalist agenda where the US-N-ONLY-THE-US has to unilaterally or forcibly lose its "sole" Superpower authority-n-influence, etc. around the World.

To recall POTUS CLINTON = "THE US MUST BE RESTRAINED OR CONTROLLED".

Unless "post-US", "Mahanist" China already knows whom wil be Obama's POTUS successor come Jan 2017, + that the same is another anti-US Marxist-Globie, IT BEHOOVES CHINA TO MAKE ITS MILITARY MOVES IN EAST ASIA + WESTPAC WHILE THE PERT, MSM-NET ALLEGED/PROCLAIMED "WEAKEST US RESIDENT SINCE JIMMY CARTER", OR "WORSE/WEAKER THAN CARTER", ETC. IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE + IS COMMANDER-OF-CHIEF OF ANY EACH + ALL US MILITARY FORCES IN CONUS + AROUND THE WORLD, I.E. THE ONE WHOM GIVES THE USDOD ITS FINAL GO-TO-WAR-VERSUS-NOT-TO-WAR MARCHING ORDERS.

As a good or proficient Politician, the Bammer's cover story = political excuse is that the US can no longer econ afford to go to war for any reason - TECHNICALLY, HE WILL BE CORRECT.

What is NOT being said is that it is INTENTIONAL + WAS PRE-PLANNED/CALCULATED LONG AGO.

#14  "Not my ideas mind you. But they are ideas. Suggestions, orr, ummm, uuuhh, possibilities, (unintelligable) umm, actions. But let me be clear - they are in a drawer."

#13  Any doubt in anyone's mind he will leave the office peacefully?

Hell No. He's already trying to start a war.

#12  This man fails at everything. The Dems are failures as well. They debase everything. They are a joke around the world.

#11  Nah - his staff will probably do something chickens*t, like pry all the 'O's from the keyboard, hack the White House website on Inauguration Day, and redirect all its phone calls to Weepy Boehener's office.

#10  It would be hilarious if he tried to stay and the Marine guards frog marched him out. I'd pay serious money to see that.

#9  Forbes predicted Obamacare would be repealed (possibly before the 2014 elections). Amazing. Wasn't too long ago they called you a kook for hoping for that.

#7  Taking out third world dictators is an American tradition.

#6  His biggest "achievement" for American children is to double the debt foisted on them as soon as they're born.

Not sure how this helps anyone but bondholders...

#5  Champ is a man who has always managed to stay one step ahead of his reputation -- until now. The problem for him is that there is no going back. He can't re-become a cipher onto which the credulous project their hopes and dreams.

If Champ thought he could accomplish all he likes with EO's then that's what he would be doing -- not issuing threats. He need Boehner's help. Let's pray to God he doesn't get it.

#4  I [Obumble] want to know that what I did made the world a better place for them [for the children],” he said.

The jury came in a long time ago on that one; the news; it's not looking good for your legacy. Don't muck it up more by playing dictator the last three years of a failed presidency. Go work on your golf game and leave the rest of us alone.

#3  Yesterday - You can keep your health insurance.

Today - I'm not a dictator.

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, ... 1984 (a little late, just like a lot of government programs)

#2  How did all of this happen? Here is one theory, one cause, to which we may ascribe. There are of course a number of others.

I'm really good at killing people.

#1  Rule by Decree. What a happy legacy. He'll be remembered for years.

Yes, remembered, but not as some may think. Revisionist history will treat him most kindly, and he is fully cognizant of this fact. His leftest puppet master(s) would never permit him to be removed from office, or spoken about disparagingly in future years. Just as his academic records, early activities and background are masked today, all of the unseemly events of late will be wiped away by the hand of inclusion, political correctness, and revisionist history. All of his media recorded misdeeds will be pruned from history like player gang signs and signals from NFL games. Of all regrets, the failures of truth must surely be the most painful.
