President Obama met with a group of Democratic governors on Friday and discussed plans to work around Congress toward policy goals.
Gov. Jack Markell, the Democratic governor of Delaware and the vice chairman of the National Governors Association, told The Hill that the meeting was “very good” and said many of the governors were responsive to ideas about bypassing Congress.
“There was a sense that none of us should wait, we can’t wait for things to happen in Congress,” Markell said of the meeting. “We’re going to do what we can do [now].”
Obama has positioned himself against Congress as he runs for reelection, arguing lawmakers are failing to solve the country’s problems. “Where Congress won’t act, I will,” he said in October when rolling out a series of executive orders aimed at creating jobs.
What a joke. Reality tells us that “Where Congress won’t act, I will,” sounds more like a dictator than a president. President Obama has already failed by not leading. The senate has failed the American people by inaction on the dozens of bills passed by the House. Who controls the Senate but Harry Reid and the Democratic Socialists! After failing the people in his 1st 2 year when President Obama had TOTAL control with the Democratic Congress he did nothing about jobs and the economy. What did the Democratic socialist work on for 2 years of total control? Energy independence? No. Cutting spending by the government? Hell NO! Securing our boarders? NO way. They spend 2 years of total control forcing Socialized Obamacare on America.
May be ALL governors should be working on cutting their spending of the peoples money, cutting taxes in their states and cutting interference with business.
