    I think I liked President Reagan’s Star Wars program better than Obama’s.

    The legislative branch eliminated itself when it stopped voting on legislation. Obama knows that SOMEONE has to govern, and the GOP is completely incapable.

    Everything about ObamaCare, from the lies that got it pushed through to the illegal modifications to the law by executive fiat to the fact that he had to exempt certain constituencies.

    Executive orders since 1900:William McKinley 185Theodore Roosevelt1,081William Howard Taft 724Woodrow Wilson 1,803Warren G. Harding 522Calvin Coolidge 1,203Herbert Hoover 968Franklin D.

Bush 166Bill Clinton 364George W. Bush 291Barack Obama 167 (as of 01/14/14)Obviously, looking at just the numbers doesn’t tell you much. The real question is what those orders were and how they impacted citizenry.

    Actually, Obama is a secret Republican. They hate him because he’s a moderate Republican.

    Just because you don’t like the legislation the House passed, voted on, or considered doesn’t change they were doing things.The Senate did nothing. The one thing Reid did is idiotically make it easier to get Presidential appointments through that body by a simple majority. Watch him and the Democrats howl bloody hell when they become the minority and that rule is turned against them..Democrats in Masschuttes did the same thing with appointments by the governor requiring a popular vote instead of just the governor making interm ones when someone left office mid-term. They did that to keep Romney from making appointments. Then a Democrat got elected governor and Ted Kennedy died in office.That resulted in Scott Brown’s election rather than the Democrat governor appointing a Democrat…..The Left is short-sighted.

    Silly legislative branch…. they made themselves expendable by reducing their productivity. Any boss would fire them for such paultry output.Maybe they should try doing the job they were elected for instead of focusing on obstructionist fun (at voter expense).

    Throughout his two terms, Washington insisted on his power to act independent of Congress in foreign conflicts, especially when war broke out between France and England in 1793 and he issued a Declaration of Neutrality on his own authority.It did not start with Obama
