President Obama really does think he is a king or an emperor of some type. Now he claims that he is going to use executive orders to raise taxes on us all.

This arrogant prince thinks he can do anything he wants just by his say-so. No act of Congress needed.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Monday that President Obama is “very interested” in the idea of raising taxes through unilateral executive action.

“The president certainly has not indicated any reticence in using his executive authority to try and advance an agenda that benefits middle class Americans,” Earnest said in response to a question about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calling on Obama to raise more than $100 billion in taxes through IRS executive action.

“Now I don’t want to leave you with the impression that there is some imminent announcement, there is not, at least that I know of,” Earnest continued. “But the president has asked his team to examine the array of executive authorities that are available to him to try to make progress on his goals. So I am not in a position to talk in any detail at this point, but the president is very interested in this avenue generally,” Earnest finished.

The unlawfulness and arrogance of this man is incredible.

It is interesting, though, that if a conservative president were to do something by executive order, everyone who is criminalizing the liberal president would say that it is the only way to bypass an uncooperative congress. Extremists are ridiculous.

@DEAD7 come explain this

I realised recently that at least 80% of right wingers are legitimately insane and are incapable of reasonable discussion.

financial crisis, lack of education, lack of work, inequality, poverty, the religious right... perfect storm

there were a lot of these angry ignorant people before but I feel like they've doubled with the financial/housing crisis and the fact that the President is black doesn't sit well with many whites in this country either

It seems to me this would take a lot of legal wrangling because of what the constitution says...but I'm not a lawyer

He's looking pretty cut there, maybe he should start giving Putin a run for his money with the photo ops.

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

what if a benevolent business demands it? ... surely we should abandon all beliefs for a benevolent business, right?

Im not suprised .. post financial crisis and corporations using tax loopholes will now cause the average Joe (rich or poor) reach into their own pockets to keep the nation afloat.
