Showing Original Post only (View all)LOL!!!-President Obama’s Message To House Republicans Talking Impeachment: Bring It On [View all]
President has called you weasels out by saying:
" Well, I dont think thats very serious.....I am not particularly worried about it..."
Your move punks.........
During his CNN interview President Obama not only shrugged off Republican claims of an imperial presidency, but he appeared to challenge the Republicans who are talking lawsuits and impeachment to bring it on.
TAPPER: And lets talk about House Republicans, because and and Senate Republicans. There has been a large contingency of Republicans critical of your new approach. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who might run for president, calls this the imperial presidency. And in the House, there is this thing, as you know, called The Stop Act. They want to rein in what youre trying to do.
How do you respond to that?
OBAMA: Well, I dont think thats very serious. I mean, the truth of the matter is, is that every president engages in executive actions. In fact, weve been very disciplined and sparing in terms of the executive actions that we have taken. We make sure that were doing it within the authority that we have under statute. But I am not going to make an apology for saying that if I can help middle class families and folks who are working hard to try to get in the middle class do a little bit better, then Im going to do it.
And, you know, I think its its a tough argument for the other side to make that not only are they willing to do an not do anything, but they also want me not to do anything in which case I think the American people whos, right now, estimation of Congress is already pretty low might might have an even lower opinion.
TAPPER: The Stop Act is not something you take seriously?
OBAMA: I I am not particularly worried about it.
