America does not have a king, at least we are not supposed to. It is very frustrating to watch President Obama change laws on his own and ignore others all together. I'm not speaking as a Conservative, I'm speaking as an American. I admit I don't agree with the Presidents policies but even if I did, it would be just as disturbing to watch this unfold. The Obama administration passed his signature healthcare law nearly four years ago, since then the administration has made 20 major changes to the law unilaterally. The President can not change laws. The President has to go through Congress in order to change a law, Obama does not have the power to do this on his own, yet he is getting away with it. President Obama has also refused to enforce immigration laws and has not ruled out an executive fix if Congress fails to pass comprehensive immigration reform. These are the actions of a king.
I blame Congress for this lawlessness. They allow this to take place and remain quiet. I really don't expect much opposition from Harry Reid and the Democratic run Senate. It is the House of Representatives that I have a problem with. The House has the power of the purse. Which means they can hold out funding for just about anything, why they are not using this as leverage against this activity is beyond me. Not only that, but articles of impeachment also have to start in the House. I realize President Obama will never be impeached, he is too much of an icon and worshipped by many, however that should not stop us from doing all we can to stop his lawless ways. -BDB
