I’m not even sure who the Congressman was on the FOX Network defending the Obama executive order issue, but it was pathetic nonetheless. He even compared the “tension” between the White House and Congress to the struggles and differences of the Founders. Now while I would admit the “checks and balances” of our government allow for righteous and ideological debate of the issues, and even for vehement and often times downright nasty disagreement, comparing this Presidents end-run around a co-equal branch of government without so much as a sit down, to the life changing and critical interactions between the Framers, is nothing short of ridiculous.
This has essentially been the problem with the current Administration and their ilk, that being the uneven comparison of governmental application, to deflect away accusation, criticism, and failure. For the record, and “comparatively” speaking, the executive orders of Bush were of greater overall substance considering the period in which he served, and certainly had far less to do with any “inability” to govern. Additionally, while President Obama may not have amassed the numbers of previous presidents, he still has over two years left to catch up.
In the end, we are not talking about homeland security or matters of state having to do with the safety of “We the People”, but rather a frustrated ideologue who means to do as he intended, and “fundamentally change the country”. Moreover, he has basically projected in his own words, his intention to do exactly that, with or without Congress.
