arguably for issues that IMPROVED people's lives, not worsened them as this 'wall' thing is doing
No mention on Trump familly in security, golf trios for the President, security on all of the building he'sgot, etc...
Hey, Lyin’ the count is: Reagan 381 HW 166 (only 1 term) Clinton 306 W 291 Obama 276 Trump 91 (thru 12/21/18 projected over 8 years would be 364) Who’s the EO abuser now?
djrothkopf McConnell looks like he just accidentally swallowed his gum.
'Republicans said Obama...' HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Republicans are a partisan JOKE, so busy looking in the mirror of their own FAILURES, they need to blame everyone else to distract from their own CRIME RIDDLED INCOMPETENCE and inability to lead..!!!
W. Bush had more executive orders than Obama I am pretty sure.
He consistently abused his office! This is not news!
Isn't it amazing the s*** we got away with
This is like bitching about the family member you only see at weddings and funerals every so often.
Is Obama still the president? Why do they keep talking about him?
What? Everytime this twisted Administration gets backed into a wall they want to point fingers at Obama. Blame Obama for your collusion, blame Obama for your staff quiting every week, blame Obama for all your lies, the women you paid, blame Obama for Cohen
He was. He had a “pen and a phone” remember?
2 years out of office, everything is still Obama’s fault. Too funny. Or maybe sad, how far the GOP has fallen
Nothing like McConnell has done to the USA
Shift away the attention
djrothkopf Yes his crime was trying to get health coverage for all Americans with a GOP based plan against a GOP that protested everything he did. ACA is similar to Romney's Massachusetts healthcare plan. Oh and he wore a tan suit. Come on WSJ. You used to be a good paper
Obama used EO's in lieu of legislation, Trump MAY use EO's allowed by law. A law that comes with Congressional checks. Misleading headline.
Dear Mr. Obama, Missing you more than ever, even though our politics are worlds apart - please come back - at least to visit! Sincerely from, the state of Irony (and dismay!!)
Of course he was!
And he did it anyway, didn’t he?
Very true now this president is doing it in another way. Both parties are guilty there is no RIGHT side.Everyone is gonna suffer from this. You can’t hide these underline problems forever. 2008 was a chance to make it right instead they bailed banks out. Wish JFK never got killed
The hypocrisy
Turnabout is a real bummer for Democrats. SCOTUS
I'm not an Obama fan (since he left Wall Street criminals and Bush-era war criminals off the hook), but these two things being compared are not the same. Trump is abusing his power in a fascist demagogue context, with all that that implies. Obama was not.
If the WSJ was honestly interested in informing it’s readers rather than pandering to the right, this article would have been headlined and written to focus on the enormous increase in executive power exercised in the last 40 years.
Well now Trump is doing it
It’s not even remotely the same
呼んでない。日本の事は日本が裁く。
You mean Republicans are hypocrites
How come he's surrounded by Republicans?
Eff_These_Feckless_Twats🖕🏻
And did it stop him ?
Obama most certainly was abusing his powers and liberals stayed silent. All of them. And trump would be as well if he builds the wall without congressional funding. Many conservatives are in line with this. No emergency use of powers.
djrothkopf Bull hockey.
Obama made America better. Trump makes America worse.
As well as housing. If they weren’t abusing their power then there would have been no reason to hide behind executive privilege in order to hide 11K documents that detail the implementation of the net worth sweep. Still $100.00 and go to jail. Steal $200B and no one blinks an eye
Actually pretty often it was SCOTUS that said Mr Obama was abusing his office ... often times UNANIMOUSLY!!
And opinions of a party that had abused every law an ethic under sun is reportable... willing to loose your soul too?
True....Inviting 1,000,000 children and their extended families into the USA under DACA was a grave abuse of power.....Kicking them out and building a safety wall is not. See the difference? Try not to be your typical Chamber of Commerce asshole selves by conflating the two.
djrothkopf So I think it’s pretty clear by now that GOP (and especially LindseyGrahamSC and senatemajldr) don’t really mind being hypocrites.
Obama was doing everything wallstreet wanted...Obama is nothing but a Republican that's y foxnews donated to his 2012campaign
Democrats didn't seem to care then. They have no moral standing to care now, in the face of an actual crisis.
The Actual Fuckery
No sure about health care but absolutely on immigration
djrothkopf Still blaming Obama. Incredible.
Republicans means Russians
