After defeat of Senate cybersecurity bill, Obama weighs executive-order option: Some time ago Ben Franklin said it was a republic . . . if we could keep it. But apparently in the interim it became an autocracy intent on keeping us instead.

"The White House hasn't ruled out issuing an executive order to strengthen the nation's defenses against cyber attacks if Congress refuses to act."
Err, no, Congress HAS acted. Can you hear me?
CONGRESS HAS ACTED AND THEY SAID "NO."
Now, now. Obama likes the words yes, I and me. He hates the words no, us and we.
Looks like President Romney will have writers cramp overturning exec orders when he gets in office.
Not to mention having to write all those bailout checks for his corrupt corporate backers. He is a corporate sellout after all.
How do bailout checks get written by a government that has no involvement in the economy? They don't. So why don't you come out and support Laissez-faire? Oh that's right, because you can't. Because then there would be no handouts for you. Sorry America . . .you have to fail because of John's corporeal greed.
BTW, in case you forgot . . .
And raising the minimum wage combats inflation exactly how? The increased cost of production incurred by labor has to either be absorbed by the producers or transferred to the consumer. Of course you can’t be suggesting that these greedy corporations are going to eat the cost . . . I mean they are after all “greedy corporations”. So the net effect of this policy is a driving up of the cost of living. Which is, in party, why the value of our dollars are diminished.
I am also curious as to how corporate greed is driving this inflation. Of course there are reasons to be made for this suggestion. But do you understand them? Can enumerate them? What is the Austrian perspective on the matter in relation to that of macro? And how is it the case that rampant consumerism can be attributed to the fair market system when that approach to economics would likely have produced interest rates forcing savings and austerity rather than cheap money and indiscriminate stimulus of sectors supposedly in glut.
Sorry Kip. He cannot answer questions that require reading skills above a first grade level.
Ah, I keep forgetting that.
It's ok, it's in your nature to give the benefit of the doubt, even to the one that doesn't deserve it.
Or that require thought.
He's the child that got left behind.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

I wonder if President Romney has the balls or desire to overturn some of this executive orders. The Democrats enact horrible legislation when they have the power but the Republicans never seem to overturn the stuff. What we get is a continual lurch to the left.
King Obama the zero proves again that he believes he is above checks and balances. I wonder what is hidden inside this bill.
