I agree.
The Founding Fathers had a vision to keep govt. from becoming too powerful by having three branches. And the executive and legislative branches NEED to be at odds in my opinion. And the Executive order is a way to circumvent that.
The real problem though are lifetime/career politicians in Congress. It's been far too easy for these corrupt lifetime politicians to enrich themselves and bankrupt our country.
Hell they probably laugh at people always worrying about the President.
Harry Reid has been in Washington D.C. since 1983! He's seen Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and now Obama all come and go.
It's people like him who are the reason everything is so fucked up in our country. Remember Strom Thurmond?
He was in office for 48 YEARS!
That's where the real power is at. In the Legislative Branch.
And that's why I kind of LIKE that the Republicans are blocking so much shit.
Yeah, they are doing it for the wrong reasons...but at least it keeps a small percentage of the shit that Congress does down.
