About that "pass a bill" remark

The Most Equal Comrade's edict pronouncement was every bit as hurl-inducing as anticipated.  David Harsanyi zooms in on a particularly teeth-grindingly egregious aspect of his Constitution-disdaining smugness:

Obama acknowledges his overreach openly every time he argues that he intends to do the job of an obstinate Republican congress. In his speech, Obama scolded those who question whether he has the authority to change the legal status of millions of people, offering this: “I have one answer: Pass a bill.”

Pass a bill?

1) Congress has no obligation to pass a bill. Ever. Who knows? Maybe immigration ranks 50th on the GOP’s to-do list. Maybe the GOP is dysfunctional and incapable of pulling together comprehensive legislation. Maybe the Republicans are nothing more than irrational nativists. And maybe all of that threatens the GOP’s future. That’s why we have elections for presidents to ignore.

2) If Congress passed a bill, Obama would veto it, anyway. So what Obama meant to say was, “I have one answer: Pass a bill I like.”  No bill will pass, especially after this cynical ploy to prod clumsy GOPers into reactions that might benefit him politically.

Think about his remark.  In his estimation, the only possible policy orientation for Congress to have is an exact replica of his.  He insists on a rubber-stamp legislature.  Like Kim Jong-un has..  Like Raul Castro has.  Like HItler and Stalin had.

That's not the kind of Congress the American people just elected.  And now we know that is irrelevant to him.

I fear for this country's future.  Its immediate future.
