But America was founded as a republic
President Obama threatened to write his own laws through executive orders while claiming “that’s how democracy works.”
Responding to the Republican takeover of Congress yesterday, Obama said he will use executive orders if Congress doesn’t pass bills he wants to sign into law.
“I’m pretty sure I’ll take some actions that some in Congress will not like,” he said. “That’s natural.”
“That’s how our democracy works.”
Obama singled out amnesty for illegals in particular, stating that if Congress passes an immigration bill which allows millions of illegal aliens to stay in the U.S., his executive actions will disappear.
“You send me a bill that I can sign, and those executive actions go away,” he said.
Obama is equating dictatorship with democracy.
“The president’s taste for unilateral action to circumvent Congress should concern every citizen, regardless of party or ideology,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) wrote in an op/ed in January. “The great 18th-century political philosopher Montesquieu observed: ‘There can be no liberty where the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or body of magistrates.’”
“America’s Founding Fathers took this warning to heart, and we should too.”

When congress makes the next budget just cut the executive departments budget in half until BO comes to his senses.
Maybe the Congress will have the balls to place this Lunatic under arrest. Are they done with investigating Benghazi yet?
Note to Congress: Get some balls and do what the voters elected you to do. Close the borders and send those illegals packing. Then make that Muslim from Kenya prove his residency.
Don't blame Obama. He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Blame the media and the american citizen for idly standing by and allowing this travesty to continue. We all should be ashamed.
Obama should really pay attention to what's happening. The GOP most likely already have information on activities on Obama, and with the 114 Congress the GOP controls the House and Senate. The House just need to impeach him and the Senate for the 114 congress is 52 republican, 2 undecided, and 1 independent. The Senate just have to get 15 more people to agreed with them from the Democrats and Obama is out of office.
