Interview with Bill Daley.

“On the domestic side, both Democrats and Republicans have really made it very difficult for the president to be anything like a chief executive,” Daley says. “This has led to a kind of frustration.”
The president’s solution? “Let’s figure out what we can do [without Congress] and push the envelope on some of these things,” Daley says.

Pretty interesting read from the POTUS chief of staff.

I think that's the idea of how our gubmint is supposed to work.

I hope to God that he is not just realizing this.

The thing that frightens me the most is that a lot supporters have no problem with him doing this.

Coz you know if Bush did this, people would be screaming for impeachment.

I'm more affraid of his die-hard supporters.

That's the problem I've always had - the supporters. Any supporters. The ones who support their own guy no matter what. "He may be just as much of a jerk as the last guy, but we hated that guy because he was their total jerk, and we'll defend our guy because he's our total jerk!"

Clinton's supporters during the Monica thing, especially the feminists. Bush's supporters for the Patriot Act. We had people here who thought that was a great idea, but during the previous administration had bumper stickers saying "I love my country, but I don't trust the government".

I will admit up front that I lean way right. My problem with our current Commander in Chief is: he appears to not know a thing about the US constitution. Bill Clinton at least understood that. Last I checked, he was the last two term President from the Democratic party. He understood the meaning of moderation. Obama either does not or he does not seem to care about it.
