Glenn Beck said this this morning on radio when talking about how Obama has circumvented the Constitution to do that to the Congress. He has, through many of his latest moves, nearly made Congress irrelevant. Of course, that is just what he wants to get done and too many can't see it.
Then George Washington was a dictator as well, as he did the same (the first time it was done) to appoint John Rutledge as Chief Justice of the United States during a congressional recess in 1795. Bush did it to William Pryor, Charles Pickering, John Bolton, Sam Fox, Susan Dudley, and Andrew G. Biggs without a single peep by anyone about a "dictatorship."
Man, you really believe anything Beck tells without a single independent thought don't you?

They seem to think that every time Obama does something, it's the first time. Where have they been all of their lives?
Well Congress isn't putting up much of a stink. There's crickets coming out of Congress regarding anything Obama has done.
I believe that if they continue to sit back and watch it happen they will become completely irrelevant before too long. It is past time for them to stop allowing the man to act outside his Constitutional powers but it seems that there aren't many of them that look into the future, at all.

Heck they gladly delegated their duty to put together a budget to no less than three committees, all of which failed.
Congress is not being proactive about anything.
They are reactive and that is no way to operate.
No he is not a dictator and only has so much power. It's always ALL his fault when something is bad, but when it's good, Congress gets credit. BS.
He has more power outside the Constitution than working inside it and he is acting outside these days. The declaration that Congress was in recess to make those appointments was outside the Constitution. Making those appointments while the Senate was still in session was so unconstitutional that I have to wonder why they allow him to get by with it. Of course, in order for the Senate to do anything about him ignoring them you would have to put Harry Reid on the floor and sit on him in order to do it. Reid is the one who says that the Senate not approving a budget in over three years is the way to run things but constitutionally we must have annual budgets.
The man is becoming more and more dictatorial while saying that the simple minded American people have to be told what is best for them when he thinks it is necessary.
Beck needs shut his looney pie hole...the president is doing what his executive power allows him to do with congress...hell when they are there they don't do anything anyways except fight...
OBAMA 2012
You just proved how you think by saying that he has the constitutional authority authority to overstep what the Constitution says he can do. Go ahead and call names with all your descriptions of people who don't think as you do but that last bit about Congress doing nothing but fight sounds just a bit progressive to me, as do the rest of your words.
