Pure RightWing Crap: " Obama Believes He Alone Is The Law In America" Investers Daily Editorial

," Obama Believes He Alone Is The Law In America"
Investers Daily Editorial, Feb 27, 2015

Below this is an explanation of the right wing view on Presidential Executive Orders..This is what is being presented to millions. I saw this at Yahoo this morning..3/2/15. This is why the Right Wing think they can shut down the government and the homeland security agency. It does not discuss the history of "executive orders" or what other presidents have done. It is their justification for "hate" and their reasoning. It is their "presentation of what they believe the truth is.. Without explanation or clarification of what happened and why. . Executive orders are different than "laws".. Just hate and twisting what really happened. And nothing about Bush and his approval of "torture" which could be seen as being against the law.

Rule Of Law: First, the president issues unlawful executive orders giving illegal immigrants amnesty. Then, he dares an equal branch of government to vote on his orders' legality so he can veto it. Is he establishing a monarchy?

While speaking at a town hall meeting Wednesday night at Florida International University, President Obama clearly indicated that he believes he is the final authority on law in this country. He will not tolerate dissent.

"If Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I'm doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I'm absolutely confident that what we're doing is the right thing to do," he told a group organized by Democratic Rep. Jose Diaz-Balart.

In November, Obama announced a set of unilateral actions to change the immigration system. Government agencies were ordered not to enforce the law against up to 5 million illegal immigrants in the country. He also declared that they would not be subject to deportation and were to be handed green card.

it's the right-wing view on *democratic* presidential executive orders.

when a republican is in the white house, the loves them some presidential executive orders. remember when shrub was there and all they could talk about was the "unitary" president? that was all about the president controlling vast amounts of crap via presidential executive orders, and how dare congress or anyone else complain about it.

the place to decide that is in the courts, not in the legislative branch.

If the Supreme Court decides his executive orders were illegal, they can strike them down.

These people make me sick..
This crowd would go after Obama even if he gave money to a food pantry....

The right wing would say, " He is a socialist/dictator because he is trying to redistribute the wealth

No matter what, they go after him...
