Internal White House Document: Obama Serious About Becoming A Dictator
That’s interesting that one of the most pro-Democrat party media outlets says that Obama wants to distance himself from a Congress he sees as uncooperative, when that is part of the entire legislative process. Congresses job is not to just rubber stamp legislation for President Obama or any president for that matter, their job is to keep a check on the power of executive branch.
When Obama says Congress is not doing their job because they won’t cooperate with him, that in fact means, they must essentially be doing their job. Obama obviously wants the low information voter to forget the Constitution gave us the legislative branch as a balance of power. They could do their job a bit more effectively though and run this guy and his progressive agenda out of town.

An internal White House assessment
concludes that President Obama must distance himself from a recalcitrant
Congress after being badly damaged last year by legislative failures, a
government shutdown and his own missteps.
Obama has said that his fraught
relationship with Congress, especially after Republicans won the House
in 2010, complicated his ability to promote his agenda. But for the
first time, following what many allies view as a lost year, the White
House is reorganizing itself to support a more executive-focused
presidency and inviting the rest of the government to help.
The new approach comes after weeks of
internal White House debate over a single question: What went wrong in
2013? The answers will help determine the outline of the State of the
Union address Obama will deliver Tuesday evening, as well as how he
pursues a meaningful legacy in the remainder of his term.
Last year began with the fresh-start
ambitions of his second inauguration but ended in a long trail of
mistakes, international embarrassments and missed legislative
opportunities that sapped Obama’s credibility with the public.
Senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer outlined the
lessons learned in a three-page memo that Obama discussed with his
Cabinet in recent weeks, according to several administration officials
who have read the document.
Among its conclusions is that Obama, a
former state legislator and U.S. senator, too often governed more like a
prime minister than a president. In a parliamentary system, a prime
minister is elected by lawmakers and thus beholden to them in ways a
president is not.
