So if Obama stated publicly that he wanted to dismantle the congressional republican's ability to investigate his administration. And in conjunction with that desire Obama said that unless Tray Gowdy resigned his seat in congress that he was going to veto any bill containing funding for congressional investigations. Gowdy stood up to him and refused to resign. Then Obama makes good on his threat. You would say that's a perfectly fine use of his power as president and everything is on the up and up ? You believe there is no illegality in an individual trying to force an elected official out of office by use of the power of their office ?
Not at all. But let's bring the comparison closer to home. Let's say that Obama refused to fund an ethics organization run by someone who proved herself to be not only incapacitated and ill, but completely unethical as well. Let's figure that Obama assumed that someone like that could not possibly fill the responsibilities of her office and would therefore create waste and mismanagement of The People's funds that would be applied to her office. So Obama says....she's got to resign so we can get on with the work of this agency. And she refuses. So now Obama is left with a dilemma: Either fund the org and take a chance on whether this woman who can't seem to keep sober long enough to drive home can actually run such an important organization, or tell them....no money til the CRIMINAL is off the board.
Yeaah, I would support Obama's choice to veto that.
Speaking of "vetoes".....this is interesting, only because the left is trying to hard to pitch a bitch over Perry's refusal to support the funding. Last year or the year before, Texas said they would not give state funds to Planned Parenthood. Immediately, Obama said then suck it (I'm paraphrasing here) No federal funds to Texas for state medicaid until Texas caved on the PP thing. Not only that, but PP, who already had the current year's funding, began,
the next day, refusing to treat women or fill their prescriptions....even though they already had the meds in house and the current year's money in the bank.
And nobody indicted Obama.
And the left didn't say anything about the abuse of power from Obama, or PP, or a word about all those needing, low income women they say urgently need PP.
