Alicia M. Cohn is reporting that Barack 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.
Obama has said that it would be so much easier to be the president of China.
"I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own." And in the same speech, "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you."
This guy doesn't think like an American. He doesn't talk like an American. And he doesn't act like an American.
