Obama’s Chief Of Staff Just Made Horrifying Revelation About Obama’s ‘Audacious’ Final Plans

by Warner Todd Huston

“,,, (isn’t) constrained by law, Congress, or the Constitution.”

While President Obama’s frequent use of executive orders to implement his policies has angered many Republicans, his chief of staff is warning Obama has even bigger plans to enact policies without involving Congress.

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough had a warning for the nation — in his final year in office, Obama will indulge in “audacious executive action.”

McDonough issued his warning during a breakfast with reporters in Washington D.C., in response to a question about what the president meant when he said he would “go it alone” if Congress wouldn’t back him.

This is bare naked despotism.  Obama operates like a dictator because there is no one to oppose him.  While people speak words, Obama takes imperial actions via his Executive Orders.  He answers words with actions.

Yes, prior presidents have issued executive orders, but not on the massive scale and wide-ranging influence of Obama’s.

“Audacious executive action” indeed.

Meaning: Obama will continue to ignore an entire THIRD of the US government as though it doesn’t exist, simply for his own benefit.

According to National Review, McDonough replied, “We’ll do audacious executive action over the course of the rest of the year, I’m confident of that.” McDonough also said Obama and his team would endeavor to make sure his EOs couldn’t be “undone” by Congress at a later date.

“Couldn’t be undone by Congress.”  Because he is stepping over and completely ignoring Congress.

But McDonough hinted that Obama wasn’t going to be constrained by law, Congress, or the Constitution. “McDonough said the White House is considering executive action on any and all issues,” the magazine reported. “And the main question President Obama plans to ask himself is ‘Why not?’”

Yes, why not?  Just whom is stepping up to stop Mr Obama?  Do we even hear anyone in the GOP stridently excoriating Obama over his past actions and these future plans?  It’s not as if Obama is keeping this scheme secret.

This is a raw hijacking, wholesale, of the American government.  Mr Obama will not be constrained by LAW or the CONGRESS or the CONSTITUTION.

With Obama his diktats involve all-reaching content.

However, as David Harsanyi notes, it isn’t the number of EOs, but rather what is contained in them, that is cause for concern. Harsanyi says Obama has perpetrated the worst overreach of any executive in history and his EOs have been aimed at far reaching and substantive changes in the American way of life.

Mr Obama knows he’s a lame duck and finds himself totally unopposed.  Why wouldn’t he continue as American Dictator?

P.S.
Even Leftist Bill Maher knows a dictator when he sees one.

Bill Maher said on his blog today that liberals should be pretty wary of President Obama‘s use of executive orders, because one day a president they don’t like will do it and they won’t like the results.

One thing you can count on, though: it won’t be a Republican who repeats Obama’s abuse of EOs.  They wouldn’t have the guts or the intelligence.

Behind Closed Doors, Obama Crafts Executive Actions

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

WASHINGTON — When President Obama announced in June that he planned to bypass congressional gridlock and overhaul the nation’s immigration system on his own, he did so in a most public way: a speech in the White House Rose Garden.

Since then, the process of drafting what will likely be the only significant immigration changes of his presidency — and his most consequential use of executive power — has been conducted almost entirely behind closed doors, where lobbyists and interest groups invited to the White House are making their case out of public view.

Mr. Obama’s increasingly expansive appetite for the use of unilateral action on issues including immigration, tax policy and gay rights has emboldened activists and businesses to flock to the administration with their policy wish lists.

It also has opened the president, already facing charges of executive overreach, to criticism that he is presiding over opaque policy-making, with the potential to reward political backers at the expense of other interests, including some on the losing side who are threatening to sue.

“Opaque policy-making” from the individual who swore to make his administration the most transparent in history?

On that note of “transparency,” the Washington Times writes:

Obama admin thwarting release of public data under FOIA, lawsuit charges

by Jeffrey Scott Shapiro

The administration that vowed to be the most transparent in history now must defend itself against a federal lawsuit accusing it of thwarting the release of public information. It’s a case that could reveal just how much politics influences the processing of Freedom of Information Act requests, especially when such releases could embarrass the president.

The civic watchdog group Cause of Action on Monday sued the Obama administration, claiming that presidential attorneys have interfered improperly in the release of public documents under the landmark FOIA law in an effort to curb the release of derogatory information about the White House.

This is the most opaque administration in years and the American Media Maggots, like the boot-licking pussies they are, continue to go to great lengths to cover up Mr Obama’s crap in the cat box.

The problem is, it still smells.

I guess they’ll have to resort to clothes-pins next.
