Obama Spending, Where is Congress???

It seems every time I turn around I hear about some new spending Obama is doing somewhere else in the world and I keep wondering where is congress in all of this. I thought it was the House of Representatives that had the purse strings constitutionally speaking.

Has our congress abdicated that responsibility as well as most of the others?

Obama throws around Executive orders creating laws out of thin air and we hear nothing from congress. He seems to have the freedom to direct money where ever he wants and it doesn’t seem there is any check on this either.

Do we have a king or a president? Where is the outrage from the people? Obama talks about Romney outsourcing with HIS own money, which, whether you agree or disagree with it he has a right to do. Obama on the other hand is outsourcing to the tune of BILLIONS of DOLLARS and it’s not even his money, IT IS OURS!

We should be outrage at this, but still we say almost nothing about it. Congress doesn’t have a word to say, the media, including again Fox News doesn’t say anything about it, except as a talking point in retort to what Obama says about Romney, but there seems to be no question raised about the constitutionality of it?

Does our president really have these constitutional powers? If he has then what did the founders give us the congress for at all, or for that matter the Supreme Court?  Is there not a single person in Congress who can get the ear of the press about this and make a big enough stink that maybe he would shame the rest of congress into doing their jobs?!!

By the time something gets said or done about this Obama will either be out of office or will have accumulated so much power under the executive branch that no one will be able to stop him. I wonder if they care to even try at this point. The progressives are sure bold enough, but the conservatives are sheepish, afraid of the name calling they’ll get, and seem to be so busy straining at gnats and yet are swallowing camels! (to steal a biblical phrase.)

Every time the president tries to grab or exercise some power that he has no constitutional right to it should be rejected and whatever he did should be forced to be withdrawn immediately. Not with stupid letters or resolutions of disapproval but with the force of law. Further if he is doing this it should be grounds for immediate impeachment under “high crimes and misdemeanors”.

Every president and representative for that matter ought to fear impeachment. Censure should only be for things that require a rebuke because they were possibly a misstep. But there is no reason for any representative or the president to be unaware what their powers under the constitution are and they should not be allowed to overstep those boundaries placed on them by the constitution.
