As distasteful as it may be, I think we need to look at what we can expect if, heaven help us, Obama is reelected.
First we must understand that Obama has had his fill of the Congress of the United States. After all, the Congress is only the voice of the people of this country. So, what do THEY know, right? Nah. Congress is just another speed bump—like the Constitution.
So, in my opinion, America should brace itself for a king-like President who will, in actuality, rule America by decree. Obama will simply forget Congress, except as a whipping boy, and he will issue Presidential Executive Order after Presidential Executive Order and will, for all intents and purposes, become the “Dictator of America.”
Obama can order things done by Executive Order but the Congress holds the strings to the purse and if they don’t like it, they can simply cut off funding, or see that no money is earmarked to finance all those “things” Obama will order done and created.
If the election ends with Romney winning the popular vote and Obama winning the electoral vote, things will be even worse. The divide between the President and the people of America will grow wider and deeper and ... bitter. The divide between Americans will become exponentially wider and more difficult to bridge. The little civility we have left will be tossed out the window. Americans can expect civil unrest to be the order of the day. The country could (possibly) become ungovernable in fairly short order. (One has to wonder if that explains the government’s purchase of all that ammunition and spreading it around among various government agencies in diverse parts of the country. Are they expecting this??)
If you don’t like gridlock, you’d better strap in because—you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Problem is ... it’s legal. And, for me, that’s a HUGE problem. The margin for misuse and/or abuse of Presidential Executive Orders is just too great to trust modern day American presidents with that power. The days of personal honor, when a man could be trusted with that much power, have long since passed. We desperately need to limit the President’s power to use executive orders to circumvent the people’s Congress. Otherwise, what do we need a Congress for? As we may be about to learn—all America REALLY needs is a king or dictator.
Now, for a moment consider this: If Obama wins reelection, he will have a Congress far more conservative than it is today, In fact, there is even a slim chance that republicans may control the US Senate as well as the US House of Representatives. If that turns out to be the case—their mission will be: “Stop Obama.” And they will make every effort to do just that.
