Agreed - but you don't have - to be condescending

if Obama were on his way to a dictatorship, executive orders would be a good start, don't you think? He already thinks he is King.

EO on the debt ceiling would be an excellent start toward - maintaining our country's

credit rating (which dropped the last time the GOP played chicken with it), it's ability to negotiate in good faith with global partners, and it's slow but steady recovery. Yes, I think we see how that works. Do you?

It's amazing that so many people don't even - understand what the SM

debt ceiling is. It's like you charge your credit card and then decide not to pay your debt. This is debt that was agreed upon in Congress. I guess if you watch Fox, you might be confused.

People are so stupid, so ignorant, that Communism will swallow them whole and they won't even know it. I'm amazed everyday.

Ummm, the debt ceiling is a decidedly capitalist concept. - that involves its most

basic principles of the accumulation of wealth vs ballooning debt and interest rates. It's simple stuff. Loan defaults degrade credit standing which, in turn, leads consumers and nations alike down the path to bankruptcy.

that's okay - the communism remarks are - dearly held preferences - nothing more

it's not about reality, particularly for those who spout about communism.

Amazed Poster, whenever we don't understand a subject, - reading FOR understanding will fix that. BTW,

if it was the debt ceiling problem you couldn't discuss, "commie" has nothing to do with it. If it was OP calling America a dictatorship you couldn't discuss, please note that communism as played out in Eastern Europe/Asia was not a dictatorship. Apples and oranges.

Yes, if no agreement by Feb 14, sign an EO Mr. President. nm - Happy Valentine's Day

Do you know how many EOs that Bush signed? - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
The continued hate for Obama is no longer astounding to me. Where was all the outrage when Bush was president? Starting 2 UNFUNDED wars? Huh? Where were all the so-called fiscal conservatives then? Did you talk about EOs when Bush was president? Were you upset by them?

Let's not forget most had "but this law doesn't apply - to me" (not verbatim :), at the bottom. sm

If anyone failed to hear about that little detail during Bush's 2 terms and doesn't believe it, just look it up.

Ah, yes. It's all Bush's fault! - Thanks for the reminder.

I believe the point was the hypocrisy - of some conservatives.

[ In Reply To ..]
Oooh, I'm so outraged over what Obama does but didn't care when Bush did it.

Much better than someone who speaks of dictators. - Some degree of autonomy is built

into our system so that the President can function without being blocked at every turn, and lately, yes, presidential power has increased, beginning under Bush II and continuing under Obama. To call this a dictatorship is wildly incorrect, though, and a grave insult to your country.

We do have something wonderful worth protecting, and IMO people incapable of realizing that, who'd just throw it away in some sort of malcontent pique, should consider withdrawing from involvement.

Senator Serrano (D-NY) is proposing - Bill HJ RES 15

[ In Reply To ..]
to repeal the term limits law (22nd amendment). That would pave the way toward a third term, or possibly even dictatorship, I guess.

And Rep Steve King introduced HJ RES 16 - bootstraps

[ In Reply To ..]
to repeal income taxes. That would pave the way for economic destruction of our country, even takeover by another country, I guess.

This has a better chance actually than HJ RES 15 since Republicans have the majority in the House.

Serrano belongs to the House, not Senate - just in case

someone wants to do a search and can't find a Senator Serrano.

Washington (CNN) – There is no daylight between his vote against raising the debt ceiling as a senator in 2006 and his call for Congress to increase the limit in the next 10 days, President Barack Obama said Wednesday. “Nothing has changed,” Obama told WFLA in an interview. “I voted against a debt ceiling increase at the time because I had some concerns about what President (George W.) Bush was doing.” The president said he has “no problem” if members of Congress choose to v ...

For all those strict adherents to the Constitution, take note of Section 4: Section. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
