But until the Dems in the Senate smarten the hell up and realize he is destroying the Constitution with his PEN there is nothing going to happen to stop him. They say Congress can withhold funding but Obama just takes money allotted for other programs and re-directs it to his pet project and keeps right on defying the Congress and the Constitution.

You would think when he sees 60% of Americans don't agree with him and 70% of Americans feel this is not the way government works he would tone down the executive order crap but nope he just steps up the talk and proudly claims as President he can DO ANYTHING HE WANTS. :mad:

(CNN) -- A pen and a phone may not seem too dangerous, but in the hands of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, they have proven to be devastating.

Just four years ago, when Democrats controlled Congress, Obama called then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and turned over our country's health care policy to the Democrats. And then with his pen, he signed one of the most damaging pieces of health care legislation into law.

Obama has promised us he'll use that pen and phone again to unilaterally drive his job-destroying agenda -- and he's expected to repeat that promise in Tuesday night's State of the Union.

And for every American family that is being crushed by the President's failed economy and his disastrous health care law, the stakes couldn't be higher.

As we enter the election year, it's clear that the Republican House is the only remaining check and balance on an increasingly unpopular president and an increasingly unpopular government health care system. No matter how many times Obama unilaterally decides to delay certain parts of Obamacare, the fact remains that the law is not working and will only get worse with time.

The climate has become so toxic for Democrats that Reps. Jim Matheson and Mike McIntyre -- two of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country -- recently announced their retirements, taking two seats completely off the board for House Democrats. Remember, Matheson held the most Republican district of any House Democrat in the country and McIntyre's district wasn't far behind.

These aren't the only tragic blows for House Democrats. Bill Owens from New York recently announced his retirement too, leaving open a district in which Republicans are in a solid position to win. And one of their prized recruits, Pete Festersen in Nebraska, dropped out of his race just weeks after announcing. Seems the toll of Obamacare and Obama's anemic approval ratings are proving insurmountable for both incumbents and candidates.
This year's State of the Union is a defining test for Obama

In contrast, Republicans have had a string of recruitment successes. Our pickup opportunities are all over the country, from California to New Hampshire. We have top-tier candidates like Air Force veteran Martha McSally in Arizona, son of Cuban exiles Carlos Curbelo in Florida, and former Democrat Evan Jenkins in West Virginia -- who was so tired of Obama's "war on coal" that he switched parties to challenge vulnerable Democrat Nick Rahall -- just to name a few.

Obamacare is not going away as a political issue. The failures we've seen so far are just the beginning, and the consequences aren't just political.

Bottom line, the American people don't need a pen and a phone. What they really need is a job and a paycheck.

This might have been written by a Republican but it is posted on CNN and they are not exactly a rightwing media outlet. :wink:
