Who Does this Guy Think He Is?

President Obama said today, "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions."

Oh really?  Thanks for the civics lesson Barry.  The scary part is that you can just see this guy's tendency towards Alinsky-like control welling up from within his soul.

Moreover, the way Obama has "summoned" congressional leaders to his office over the debt issue is revolting.  Apparently, Obama thinks that he can tyrannically summon whomever he wants, whenever he wants.  Let us remind Obama that in the United States, the Congress and the Executive are co-equal branches of government.

And, we're all still waiting for Obama's plan for the economy.  All he's done so far is sit back and criticize, lie about what he'll accept or reject, and move the goal posts in the debate.  Meanwhile, the Democratic controlled senate hasn't passed a budget in two years and the President outright rejects a GOP cut, cap, and balance bill without offering any solutions.

There's no reason that a default would be inevitable even if the debt limit isn't raised because the Obama administration, through its executive powers, could prioritize payments for debt, social security, or whatever it wants.  However, it's much more politically expedient to threaten seniors that they won't get their Social Security checks and predict that economic Armageddon will unfold if Obama doesn't get his way.

If that was the case, we might as well let Obama "do things alone" and scrap those pesky annoying things called the House of Representatives and the Senate.
