I'm sure when you were gooning your way through minor league hockey, you were more outraged at the executive overreach of Saint Ronnie, and the Bushes, who used this tool more than Obama, right Gassy? Wouldn't wanna be a hypocrite.
Guess which president has fewest executive orders of the past 130 years?
Republicans accuse Obama of overreach with gun control order
If he’s out of line, it’s not because he issued an executive order
And critics make one other more puzzling argument

Rep. Robert Pittenger suggests President Obama overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order on guns this week.
“His initiatives are out of line,” Pittenger said. “Legislation is passed by Congress. It’s not passed by monarch.”
Most Americans, we expect, have reservations about a president who goes around Congress (including the Observer editorial board). If Pittenger and other Republicans believe Obama has exceeded his authority, though, they need to base that on the opinion that this particular executive order goes too far, not that presidents are powerless to influence law with executive orders. They do so all the time, and Observer Associate Editor Peter St. Ongewrote Wednesday that most legal experts believe Obama is on safe legal ground with this week’s gun control order.
Presidents use executive orders to help them fulfill their constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” They must be supported by the Constitution or by a law passed by Congress, and that’s where the gray legal area can exist.
But executive orders are a legal and long-standing feature of the American governmental system.
From Teddy Roosevelt’s presidency through Obama’s, presidents have averaged 118 executive orders per year (or more than two per week!). Obama’s average of 32.8 per year (as of last month) is the lowest of any president since Grover Cleveland’s first term in the 1880s. This chart, from fivethirtyeight.com last year, shows how often each president has used executive orders.
Pittenger and other Republicans make a separate puzzling argument. They claim that Obama’s gun control order will “trample the rights of law-abiding citizens” (as Rep. Richard Hudson said). But they also argue that they are meaningless and will have “zero impact,” as Pittenger described Obama’s executive actions after the massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Which is it? Obama’s orders are meaningless, or they are trampling people’s rights? They can’t be both. – Taylor Batten

BOOM! ! LEFT HOOK! ! And down go the douche bag liberal sick fucks ! !
The two headed clown show in here composed of vitterd and Guesser are so fucking blind they destroy themselves every time they post.
Obumbles gushes about not filing executive orders and blaming Bush for his, then turns around and does the exact same thing.
These two ass clowns don't even understand what they are arguing about.
Bush's executive orders were simple mundane things like National Aeronautics Research and shit..
Obama violates the 2nd amendment...then these two jack holes compare the two.
Guesser, get some oxygen bud.
Oh here's a good one....the liberals just HATED this one..

Wow Guesser, so If I gave 100 executive orders about, say, bumblebee farms...and you gave 1 executive order outlawing abortion, or freedom of speech....it would pretty much be a wash? Or would the 1 executive order be better because you made less?
Please help me clarify your retarded logic.
Thank you,
King

Obama also said he'd pass gun control legislation and close GITMO, etc., etc., during his campaigns. Sometimes reality gets in the way of campaign rhetoric. EVERY POTUS usus them, Obama has used them less then his predecessors, in many cases far less, so in that regard he's been more transparent. In an ideal world, the opposition party would be willing to govern, instead of obstruct, and POTUS's wouldn't have to issue executive orders. We don't live in an ideal world.
They'll never get it Pete, thanks for trying. They are a sick twisted demented cult full of liars, cheats, hacks and thieves. What makes it worse is they are sanctimonious in their actions, and pretend it is for the betterment of the "common man".....when in fact it is actual manipulation of the common man they are exploiting and taking advantage of.
Sad, but these two joke on here are just prime examples of the disgusting politics that comes with the Dems.
