Clear and Present Danger

Wednesday 28 July 2010 - Filed under Dumbassery + Government + POTUS

Anyone who maintains that Obama is not dangerous to the fabric of American governance is a fucking tool. The New York Times explains:

As much as anyone, Mr. Orszag has promoted and carried out an effort by the White House to pry away from Congress some of the responsibility for making hard decisions, especially when it comes to the budget. In the process, he has signaled that an administration populated from the top down by Capitol Hill alumni is intent on altering the balance of power between the branches of government.

[. . .]

Somewhere along the way toward wooing Congress, however, Mr. Obama seems to have decided that the problem, at least where reducing the cost of government is concerned, is Congress itself. There is a sense that the legislative process just isn’t set up to work, either because of the severe partisanship in both chambers, or because lawmakers tend to run from painful choices, or because of rules that make it easy for a minority party — in this case, the Republicans — to sabotage legislation.

And so your fix for what is undoubtedly a huge problem is to shift control from Congress to yourself? You know, asshole, this entire experiment, American republicanism, was designed, via the constitution, to avoid like the fucking plague one-man rule. Yet you feel as if you are the fucking savior?

The sooner 2012 comes and we can rid ourselves of you and your fucking agenda, the better.
