The Pen and a Phone President Plans to ByPass Congress
'If Congress doesn’t act, the president will,' says top WH adviser, signaling Obama may bypass Congress
Make no mistake Dan is (The Total Fool) Pfeiffer
Quote:White House senior adviser Dan (The Total Fool)
Pfeiffer said Sunday that President Obama will offer “practical” proposals to move the country forward this year and suggested the president will take executive action to advance his agenda when Congress doesn’t cooperate.
“If Congress doesn’t act, the president will,” (The Total Fool) Pfeiffer told “Fox News Sunday.”
(The Total Fool) Pfeiffer’s comments mark the second time this weekend that he has attempted to prepare Americans for what Obama will say in his State of the Union address Tuesday before Congress.
In a letter Saturday to Obama supporters, (The Total Fool) Pfeiffer called 2014 a “year of action” and said the president will lay out a set of “real, concrete, practical proposals” to grow the economy and strengthen the middle class.
“President Obama has a pen and he has a phone, and he will use them to take executive action and enlist every American … in the project to restore opportunity for all,” he also wrote in the letter.
On Sunday,(The Total Fool) Pfeiffer said those proposals will include efforts to increase the minimum wage, extend unemployment insurance and pass comprehensive immigration reform.
(The Total Fool) He argued against criticism that the president has a failing economic policy that has resulted in record-level poverty and lower average household incomes.
Pfeiffer said the administration is still trying to climb out of the recession it inherited in 2009, and pointed out that the national unemployment rate is now at 6.7 percent.
“We are making progress,” he told Fox News.

If this was alegitimate plan he'd have done it by now to the extent he's talking about. It's playing off of the fear associated with most Americans complete and total ignorance of the system.

Phluffer is hoping that no one will remember that the last time he had a cooperative congress, he hijacked everyone's healthcare. that is precisely why he no longer has a compliant congress; We, the People, took it away from him because he couldn't be trusted with it.

It’s about time... the Magna Carta was so overrated.
