From Jim’s website – May 16, 2011, when running for County Commissioner: “Voters have the opportunity to elect a Thoughtful, Fair-minded, Sensible, Conservative Leader who will position our County’s economy for a brighter future. “Job One” is to promote policies that will get the private sector economy growing again. That will be my major focus, should you elect me to the County Commission. I stand for two other things: fiscal responsibility and common sense environmental regulation. I support time-tested American civic values of self-reliance, liberty, private enterprise, and families and communities taking care of each other.”

The news media is supposed to report, ask questions and find answers. They did not do that about the Benghazi raid, where four Americans were killed; instead, repeating only what the White House said. Here, U. S. Rep. Gowdy gets in their face about their lack of reporting to the American public.

The Washington Examiner is running a series of stories entitled “With the Stroke of a Pen: How Obama abuses executive power to make the law of the land.”
As a backgrounder, here is what the article series is about:
From the Post:
“On Nov. 16, 2010, just days after voters gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives, the progressive think tank Center for American Progress published a report titled “The Power of the President.”
Obama-Biden Transition Project Chairman John Podesta introduced the report, writing that “in the aftermath of this month’s midterm congressional elections, pundits and politicians across the ideological spectrum are focusing on how difficult it will be for President Barack Obama to advance his policy priorities through Congress.”
“Some debate whether the administration should tack to the center and compromise with the new House leadership,” Podesta continued.
“As a former White House chief of staff, I believe those to be the wrong preoccupations. President Obama’s ability to govern the country as chief executive presents an opportunity to demonstrate strength, resolve, and a capacity to get things done,” Podesta said.
Not only did Obama almost immediately embrace the report’s call for maximizing executive power to achieve progressive ends without Congress, it even branded the effort “We Can’t Wait,” thus advertising the fact that Obama had abandoned all pretense of following the U.S. Constitution’s carefully drawn separation-of-powers doctrine.
In this Washington Examiner series, Senior Writer Conn Carroll documents the many times Obama has flagrantly abused executive authority to advance his liberal agenda without congressional approval.
The top 10 instances will be examined over the next two weeks, and more will come later.
