Somehow
I am starting to get the feeling that Obama thinks he's above the Constitution.
Call me crazy but I am a little surprised after I read the following:
President
Obama is considering executive-branch action on U.S. cybersecurity after
Congress failed to pass legislation to protect national security assets, a
White House aide said.
“If
the Congress is not going to act on something like this, then the president
wants to make sure that we’re doing everything possible,” John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism
adviser, said today at an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in
Washington.
Actually,
I'm not surprised at all at such blatant disrespect for the Constitution. What
our Fuhrer is doing is bypassing the Congress and acting unilaterally. Remember,
Congress creates the laws and the president signs them. Instead, Obama is putting
laws into effect that were never passed through the Congress and making
unilateral decisions.
This
is exactly why the founding fathers made the checks and balance system. They
wanted depart from the traditional system of when a king ruled the country to a
democratic system similar to that of the ancient Greeks and early Romans. Now
what has happened is that Obama is moving back to the form of government which our
forefathers fought so hard to depart from
Let
me ask: "Where is the media outrage?" The president wants to trash
the Constitution and the mainstream media remain silent? Has CNN, MSNBC and The
New York Times simply become just an extension of the White House publicity
department. Are they the equivalent to Russia's government-run paper-Pravda? It
must be so. We Americans should be outraged. We should all be calling our Congressmen
to impeach the president.
It's
not like he hasn't done the same thing before. Just recently he made an
executive order to take the "work out of welfare" as Governor Romney
astutely states. "The 1996 welfare
reform legislation was overwhelmingly popular, was a great bipartisan
achievement, stands as a policy success and comports with Americans’ deepest
values about personal responsibility and the work ethic. And Obama tosses that
aside, for reasons that still seem perplexing."
Now
we know why Obama and his staff are so glib about saying that if Congress
doesn't pass something they want, Obama will create a new law for it all by himself.
The reason is simple. He just did it little to no backlash. There was no
consequences, march on Washington or call for Obama's resignation. Instead, the
mainstream media remained silent as our president disregards the Constitution,
dismantles the economy, trashes our space programs, spits on work done by our
forefathers, embraces our enemies, polarizes our allies and creates a welfare
state.
Good
job Mr. President!
