I was going to write about all the things Presiden BO (the amateur president) said in his State of the Union address that were new. But there weren't any.
He DID reiterate his determination to get his way with or without Congress, but that is the direction he has been going all along. It isn't new, even though many have missed it.
Other presidents have issued executive orders, some more than PBO (tap), but none have bragged about it as part of their deliberate and specific agenda.
Despotism here we come! Right back where we started from.

About Me

There Are But A Few Rules To Follow
1. Absolutely no foul language (including the use of asterisks). If you are not man or woman enough to control your language, you are not welcome here...go somewhere else.
2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.
4. Within the scope of those rules, you may feel free to have fun here (I sure will). Sarcasm, wit, half-wit, nit-wit, parody, satire, puns (especially puns), etc. are encouraged.
FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

WHY I CALL HIM "PRESIDENT BO"
I call him "President" out of respect for the office. I call him "BO" (as in Body Odor) because his agenda stinks.
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."

Joe - I noticed that there were an unusual numbers of 'I's' in the SOTU address. As if he can do it all be himself.
Joe, are you saying that the use of EO's is evidence of a President becoming despotic?
It really is a matter of what the EOs were for. With Obamanatioin, it is all about working around Congress to push his radical socialist agenda.
Sue, conservatives have mentioned that at most of O's speeches. I noticed an amazing amount this time, too. One didn't hear it so much from Bush of Reagan or even Clinton...it was "my administration" "the White House".. "We" "Congress", but this president really hasn't a right to that because it IS "HE" who is blatantly taking over...even saying it directly!
If that isn't despotic...
Glenn....imagine if a Republican president worked quite this much around Congress?
Also, it's adorable when he says things like "to help the American people.." Absolutely brilliant...people who are primed for freebies as this gov't has made them hear that and think "Well, GOOD THING he's going around that awful Congress!"
He knows that.
I don't care which party is doing it, when it is intentionally subverting the Constitution so as to bypass congress, then it is illegal and he should be impeached.
sh: He continually exhibits clinical symptoms of narcissicism.
DM: No. I said PBO (tap)'s ATTITUDE toward them is despotic. In my 72 years of life I have NEVER heard a president say that he does not care what Congress does, he's going to do what he thinks needs to be done, quite apart from the desires of the people and their representatives.
Z: Offering freebees certainly does attract the masses to his side, doesn't it? Sure does reduce personal responsibility and initiative.
GEC: You're right. Either Party should use EOs with caution and great respect. This president does neither.
I was quite disappointed but one statement that cheered me was his statement that he would veto any bill to extend sanctions on Iran.
It may have upset "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" folks like Glenn but you can't please everyone.
What do the emancipation proclamation and the desegregation of the military have in common, Joe?
They're both EOs issued by narcissistic, socialist despots?
Ducky,
You really need to stop lying about people.
I certainly don't want the U.S. to bomb Iran. I think we need to bring all our troops home from the Mid-East.

G.E.C. - "...when it is intentionally subverting the Constitution so as to bypass congress, then it is illegal and he should be impeached."
You're insane.
Joe - "...he's going to do what he thinks needs to be done, quite apart from the desires of the people and their representatives."
As I've pointed out before, more people voted for President Obama, twice, than voted for all of the Republican Representatives and Senators combined! The President's agenda is a manifestation of the will of a majority of the American citizens.
The minority of Republican obstructionists are out to thwart the will of the American people.
That cannot be allowed.
Craig wins the kewpie doll.
X.O.
It isn't how many EOs, it is the destructive force behind them. FDR was the most socialist president in history and really screwed this country when it comes to instituting a welfare system. And of course the unconstitutional act of putting American citizens in concentration camps.
Yeah, and I'm insane. You are just a complete moronic jackass liberal lemming ready to jump of the cliff for your messiah Obamanation.
Crawl back under your bridge, troll.
G.E.C. - "FDR was the most socialist president in history and really screwed this country when it comes to instituting a welfare system."
FDR saved this country from the clutches of unfettered and unregulated capitalism that plunged us into The Great Depression.
He brought us back from the brink of complete financial collapse.
Just like Barack Obama rescued us from the DISASTROUS administrations of George W. Bush.
It is a continual cycle. Republicans run this country into political, military and financial disasters. Democrats ride to the rescue and save our country.
X.O.
you are so deluded and know nothing about history. By they way, FDR's policies made the depression last longer, and it was WWII that got us out of it.
Your Obama line is really getting old. you need a new messiah to worship
Glenn, there is disagreement about FDR but it is commonly accepted that the policy which did the most to prolong the depression was his attempt to balance the Federal budget.
He was a half hearted Keynesian.
It is interesting to note that the nation which practiced full Keynesian stimulus, Sweden, was the one nation to pull out of the depression completely without switching to a war economy.
