You didn't seem to mind then, why mention it now?
I appreciated that it is the President's prerogative then as I do now. But I remember a lot of whining about it being "unconstitutional" before from you wingnuts. What's changed with you hypocrites?

Factually incorrect, at least, for me. Executive orders are not inherently unconstitutional. But some of Obama's were and they were rightly pointed out. DACA is an example. Obama's gutting of work requirements for welfare was another unconstitutional action. There are more. But Trump has a pen and can very, very quickly undo most of the damage.

I think the straw is pretty thick here. Obama couldn't figure out how to work with Congress so he tried to sign EO's to do things that were he had no business doing and then fought the courts and usually lost. People had a problem with him acting outside the purview of the Constitution. You probably shouldn't throw around the word "hypocritical" based on your own little strawman, especially when you are they hypocrite here.

Both are not lasting. If BO had wanted something lasting, he should have worked with Congress but that was impossible because the American people had taken away Congress from him and he wasn't going to compromise adn neither were the peoples representatives.

He wasn't going to work with Congress because he was a true left wing Ideologue.

Congress wasn't going to work with him because there were a lot of ******** like McConnell.

"We're going to make him a one term president"

"We won't even give consideration to Garland".

Obama had more cabinet members from the opposing political party than any other president in history.

One of these days the left will have to come to grips with the fact that their leader failed to lead and failed to work with Congress. It was his fault and he killed the party by failing to lead.

"

1) McConnell is a dick. Tried to screw WVU. Frack him.
2) That quote was said nearly TWO YEARS after Obama was elected.

Check yourself. All of those comments were after Republicans to the back of the bus and Obamacare rammed through.

IMO, Pres. Obama's EOs were generally bad for most Americans. While on Pres. Bush, weren't the attacks of 9/11 a major driver in many of his EOs?

I'm not keeping score of good or bad EOs just pointing out the hypocrisy of one side saying the other did it more, worse, or better.

Here are all of Obama's EOs from 2016. Conservatives, please show me which ones were bad for America and which ones were unconstitutional.

One by one, or in a single 28,000 page review. Look I'm not doing your work for you, lazy lib. Tell us which ones are good. Which do you like better, Amending Executive Order 13675 To Expand Membership on the President's Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa or Global Entrepreneurship?

I made no claims. I gave an opinion.
You must be exhausted. Pick up your Participation Trophy and call it a year, oh ye of great intelligence.

I thought the right was against participation trophies? You're beginning to incoherently ramble just like Propaganda Barbie. :smiley:

huh? lmao. A claim is an opinion if it is given without any substantiated facts.

Stupid and typical spin from a whacko. Stop it.
Show me where I made any claims in this thread. I made no claims. Get some rest.

I have no idea as I just stumbled across your stupid statement that is false. Keep it up just like Trump in making up alternative facts.

The only statement made was that I wouldn't do country's work. That was a true statement. I made no claims, so you are false. I wont hold my breath waiting for an admission.
