Who needs Congress? King Barack I will simply sign an executive order and make it so. The cowards that have all abdicated their responsibilities in Congress will not dare challenge his authority.
Maybe congress could actually get something done....anything done ..... if the GOP would get up off of their fat asses and say "yes" to something, rather than "no" to everything proposed, no matter where it is going. Never in the history of our country has one party been virtually absent, at their own volition, from the law making process that is supposed to be carried on.
The GOP has created an atmosphere that forces Obama to decide (by executive action) what he legally can, but no more than that....and preferably he and America would much prefer not to have to do this . All that is happening is souring the independents of this great country into a realization that the republican party operates only for it's self interests (the wishes of the one percent) and not for the great majority of our citizens.
Next step: The easy victory of Hillary Clinton in the next election, and more likely than not an overwhelming democratic majority in both houses of congress. Then government can once more say "yes" again. It will happen!
