“The Barack Obama Show” Again???

The gallery of past American Presidents contains some real characters and a few scoundrels, but I don’t believe we’ve ever seen an abusive overuse of Executive Privilege to equal Obama’s actions. The creation of a network of appointed officials to usurp governmental duties from the elected definitely exemplifies such abuse. There is also the use of the media.
Presidents traditionally are offered television and radio time for important addresses. What Obama is doing is far beyond that. He is commandeering primetime on a regular basis not to make a presidential address but to lobby a political agenda. That’s right- when a law is passed it belongs to him and to all of us. When he is pushing for some law he wants passed, he’s more a politician than a president. As long as he is lobbying one side of contested legislation he has no right to use commercial media to further his POLITICAL ends. This is an abuse. BOYCOTT!- sjm
