During last month’s State of the Union address, putative President Obama stated that he will circumvent Congress by using executive orders to push his domestic agenda. Shouldn't the media be asking why he is breaking a campaign promise to the American people and are you Obama supporters ok with this?
Obama promised everything "the people" wanted to hear.
And he even went so far as to single out groups for specific promises.
He played the true politician telling the people he'd give them their every wish.
Didn't happen though. And the people didn't care either because they sent him back for another 4 years.
It's all about "the party" now..got to keep your party in power no matter what they say or do.

No one expects a politician to do everything they promise, I have been overall happy with the promises Obama has kept, and there are things I wish he would have done or pushed harder for Congress to act on. But if you always expect perfection you will always be let down.
It's funny how liberals don't seem to comprehend that we conservatives are not bothered at all by the government shutdown. So why do you folks keep throwing the government shutdown at us as if we are to duck and hide behind something in embarrassment? The Government shutdown was not a bad thing! The funny thing is, Barack Obama forced the shutdown because he "wouldn't negotiate".....meanwhile his Administration is making a fool out of him with the failed rollout of Obamacare.
LOL
If anything, liberals need to be hiding behind something in embarrassment. They completely fumbled the whole government shutdown/obamacare fiasco. This is not a "do nothing Congress." This is a "know nothing President!"
The Republicans have nothing to do with Hope and Change being BS. That has to do with Obama never intending to fulfill it and his supporters fine with that.
How are Republicans responsible for Obama backing out of public campaign financing in 2008, no lobbyists in the WH positions of power, no special access for big donors, reducing earmarks to 1994 levels by veto if necessary, waiting 5 days to sign a bill into law, airing Obamacare debates live on CSPAN, etc...
Obama said Bush did executive orders that were illegal and is now doing executive orders that have no precedent that candidate Obama pledged not to do as they were illegal. Obama owns his disingenuous personality.
And when the Democrats send the Republican controlled House of Republicans a hyper partisan Democrat bill that has no chance of getting Republicans to support, that is called "Republicans refusing to compromise."
Even bipartisan bills from the House are rejected out of hand by Reid. It's the senate that is hyper partisan, the House Republican leaders are onboard with Reid's agenda 90% of the time.
This is not a "do nothing Congress." This is a "know nothing President!"
LOL
..and there's no hope of him changing either
