Gee, John. Next time, tell us something we didn't already know. On the one hand, House Speaker John Boehner thinks President Obama is engaging in a brazen act of despotism by deciding to sign executive orders doing things like raising the minimum wage for federal contractors:
"This idea that he's just going to go it alone, I have to remind him we do have a constitution. And the Congress writes the laws, and the President’s job is to execute the laws faithfully. And if he tries to ignore this he's going to run into a brick wall." But on the other hand, the very same John Boehner also said the president's actions won't actually have any impact on anything:

"I suspect it affects absolutely no one," said Boehner.Boehner can't have it both ways. If he wants to make the case that President Obama is engaging in a tyrannical power grab, that's his right, but he can't say that Obama is running roughshod over the Constitution while simultaneously saying that the president's actions are meaningless. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/...-into-a-brick-wall-when-dealing-with-Congress​

He actually didn't say that. He said he will run into a brick wall IF he uses executive actions rather than congress.

But your change in the thread title is noted.

Yet another liberal who lies in his OP & thread title because the truth hurts him too much.

what change would that be? It was C&Ped too, so it ain't "mine" to change.

In regards to the rest

"This idea that he's just going to go it alone, I have to remind him we do have a constitution. And the Congress writes the laws, and the President’s job is to execute the laws faithfully. And if he tries to ignore this he's going to run into a brick wall."​

you'll have to clarify as to how that is a unreasonable deconstruction of his words. He's saying that BHO can't do it, only congress can, which is where he'll meet the brick wall. Obviously if the house that clown is in charge of supported what BHO's gonna do by way of executive order, there'd be no brick wall to worry about, or need to do it by way of an EO.

because there certainly ain't one anywhere else.

Disingenuous at best, typical liberal lie at worst.

If a President from EITHER party tries to do an end run around Congress, then Congress SHOULD throw up a brick wall. That's kinda how it's SUPPOSED to work.
