Obama to seek new Presidential powers

The official said 1,000 to 2,000 jobs would be cut, but the administration would do so through attrition; that is, as people routinely leave their jobs over time.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you, Obama.

One-time special good deal.  It isn't needed whe Congress is from the President's own party (unless that party is the Democratic Party, in which case he'd never get it!  )

From the article:

According to the White House, presidents held such a reorganizational authority for about 50 years until it ran out during Reagan's presidency in 1984

That makes it sound like it wasn't a one-time deal, it was given when the majority in Congress was from the President's party, and that party was the Democratic party.

It sounds like it makes sense and a lot of folks on both side of party lines should support it.
I'm fearful though of politics and wanting to hurt Obama making the reps oppose it...

Right now, the NSA is recording this.

OH FUCK, I'm in this thread.

I just got an email asking whether I'd prefer indefinite detention or a nearby drone to get it over with quickly.

I mean, death by airpower?  The man's a class act.

His killing of brown people by various means redeemed him somewhat in my eyes.

If you're extra-special nice, he might even drop a nuke.  Just for you.

Ooh.  Hope and change.

An uncontrolled mutagen change but still.

Smart way to make the Tea Party look bad.
