Obama Planning To Bypass Congress on Climate Change

Will outline climate change plan on Tuesday

President Barack Obama is preparing to bypass Congress on climate change and use his executive powers on everything from power plants to energy standards for appliances.

The president on Tuesday will outline the climate plan in a highly anticipated speech, and though official details are still under wraps, a top White House official said this week the president's agenda will focus broadly on EPA regulations, energy efficiency and renewable power.

So he thinks he's Louis XIV?
I think the truth is closer to that punchline about God just thinking He's Obama.

I doubt he has any knowledge of L14; it's not like he's a scholar.
Not even sure he's conscious of acting as a 'god'; he's just a raging egotist who will do what he pleases until he's stopped.
The constitution is no concern to him; Bush did better.

So, with his administration facing scandal after scandal regarding abuse of executive power his solution is more executive power?

Checks and balances are unnecessary for top men with good intentions. This is why the fracas over the NSA is just plain silly. Besides the constitution is old - like more than a hundred years - and the founders were white, wealthy land-owners (pure, unadulterated evil).

This as administration officials worry about Hong Kong's "dedication to the rule of law."

HIDE THE DECLINE!
