Oh no, you made an excellent case for his use of executive orders — what will Frank Luntz come up with now? :-) Well done!

Funny, I have listened to all the reasons from the reich wing, who insist the President is breaking the law and not obeying the constitution and should be impeached….I then show them that Dubya, made 291 Executive orders in his time, and ask why they never considered impeaching his ass, and I never hear from them again.

If the Dems are successful in showing the US what the GOP is doing, we may not have to worry about the GOP for a long time.

“…but that they also merely see millions of unemployed Americans as casualties in their political war game with the president.”

No, they don’t. They don’t see the unemployed at all. They’re not even on their radar.

It’s a good article, but… ¿when was Hamilton President?

  Why does it matter when Hamilton was President? Do you know anything about why Hamilton signed the EO establishing the location of the Capital? Does it happening in 1790 make it irrelevant today? I think you may want to brush up on your history.

You’re right. Washington signed the EO, Hamilton made the deal with congress and recommended that Washington use the EO. I was thinking Washington, but wrote Hamilton.

The whiners in the Party of No have absolutely no argument against President Obama’s Executive Orders that are worth listening to. Time after time, he tried working with them only to be met with a wall of resistance. Since they have been willing to throw Americans under the bus for political gain, there is nothing they say other than to whine about his being a “dictator.” They are a bunch of ethically and empathy challenged simpletons.

I’m just disturbed to know that citizens that refuse to hear/watch Constructive News Networks will never learn the value of truth & reality! Ears that only tune in the likes of Rush & Hannity without ALSO hearing Olbermann & Schultz are missing an entire picture. It is called informed thinking. Then, if an informed thinker has an OPEN mind they will arrive at EDUCATED decisions…which by their very nature lean to the left! AND…that is why the Right have to use fear, manipulation, lies & spin to sway the minds of a small minority! ;-)))

  You can show the facts to those who listen to right wing media all you want, they don’t even care if their heroes are caught in blatant lies. They listen to Rush because he caters to their innate prejudice.

History will judge our results, not how similar activities worked in different eras. I look forward to assessing the results in the years to come, good or bad.
