Obama Embracing Role of Dictator Once Again

The president who once ran on a promise of uniting the country appears intent on tearing it – and the U.S. Constitution, apart. President’s Obama’s move to proceed with the controversial appointment of Richard Cordray to the controversial Consumer Financial Protection Bureau without Congressional approval might very well initiate a decisive court battle pitting the Executive Branch against the Legislative Branch of the U.S. government.

For months Barack Obama has threatened to bypass Congress and simply rule by executive authority – a stance more commonly found among nations ruled by dictators – not freely elected members of a representative government. And while this posturing fits well with the Obama re-election team’s hopes of utilizing the mantra of a “do-nothing Congress”, the fact remains the Democrats control one half of Congress – and it has been Democrats who often have been in opposition to the demands of Barack Obama. In essence, the Obama White House has become an island unto itself – an often whining machine of political posturing that has left members of both political parties shaking their collective heads in disappointment and even disgust.

With the latest threat to appoint Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau without the required approval of Congress, Barack Obama is once again placing himself and his agenda above the longheld traditions of American law – stretching the authority of the Executive Branch far beyond its intended purpose. Senator Mitch McConnell made clear the dangers of President Obama’s intent:

“The president’s move lands this appointee in uncertain legal territory, threatens the confirmation process and fundamentally endangers the Congress’ role in providing a check on the excesses of the executive branch.”

And the Cordray appointment is not the only executive authority appointment the Obama administration is threatening – further appointments to the equally controversial National Labor Relations Board are being indicated. President Obama has hopes of further solidifying labor union dominance of that organization as well.
