Obama talked about amnesty and raising the min wage via EO if Congress doesn't back him up.
So you think a president can literally do those things with an executive order?

That was not my takeaway.

Again the caveat, " when I can" seems to have been omitted.

Even by the President himself it seems.

Obama On Executive Actions: ‘I’ve Got A Pen And I’ve Got A Phone’ « CBS DC

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said Tuesday as he convened his first Cabinet meeting of the year.

Obama continued: ”And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating.”

Yahoo!

Barry is getting desparate. His term is running out and he knows once he is gone there will be no buildings or statutes of him in the future. His "legacy" will be trillions of new debt and a law that no one likes and will probably not last long after he is gone.

Well time will tell won't it ?

The WH is worried about elections.
Several Dems are retiring.
If the Repubs get the Senate he might as well stick a fork in it and go to Hawaii til 2016.

He called 2014 the year of action..action on his part.

For someone who was a constitutional law professor he sure doesn't have much respect for it.

Yeah, only the right wingers seem to think Obama is some sort of all powerful dictator.

Another lie pushed by the left. Barack was a "guest lecturer". He never held the title of "professor".

He can do this because he's not up for reelection, and it also takes the blame off the dems running next year. A win win for the dictator.
