As if the media is not doing a good enough job covering the events transpiring in Ferguson, Missouri, President Obama is about to take his chance to make the decision worse. Im sure if you are keeping up with my blogs your getting the impression that I hate Obama. Thats not the case, but i do not normally agree with the decisions he makes and I never agree with the political statements that he makes. Between ISIS and the recent election I don't believe Obama has made a statement that has made any citizen of this country happy. Every act he has made is ridiculous so I am very confused why he is taking on this Ferguson battle.
I understand that the Ferguson situation is a huge deal for our country but with the race issues involved I think Obama should stay away from this one considering his most recent decisions. I do not want to should racist in any way by talking about the race issues involved here, but with the involvement of our president, dependent upon what he plans to say, I don't think that it will subside the situation.
If Obama can work on political structure as opposed to just speaking, i do think he has the potential to be helpful in the situation. I think he should ultimately stay out of the situation and let the governor of Missouri solve those problems but agin if he could use behind the scenes involvement, i think it has the potential to be helpful in bringing ease to the situation.

Lame Duck
Congress has went back into session for the last time in order to get business taken care of before the holidays. Their main priority: the republican-controlled House and how they are going to deal with the immigration reform at their term in office. Other matters that they will deal with include the budget, which is directly connected to the power the new House will have, and more issues with ISIS.
There is basically one way left to keep Obama from passing what would be a law that no one else is in agreement with. The Congress in session has to pass a budget that will not allow president obama the funds to implement his law. Regardless of the law going through if there are no funds it is impossible to carry out. From my readings, it is in the interest of congress to do such and i think the majority is on board so they will make this happen. i will be anxious to see how this pans out in the coming days.

Ferguson Getting Their Way
Well, Darren Wilson, the officer involved in the shooting and killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, has completed his resignation from the force. What i see to have been completely ridiculous has costs this man his livelihood. He was doing his job protecting the people and is being harmed for it. But that is truly besides the point of this post. Wilson has been forced to resign from the force and for the protection of the other officers on the force, he will not be receiving a severance package. This is all because of the protests.
With all the commotion regarding the incident Officer Wilson became somewhat of a political figure in the racial case. Riots have ruined the town of Furguson but the rioters are finally getting their way. They have not came to a halt because of the resignation but because Officer Wilson has stepped down the riots have extremely diminished. I don't know what lies next in Wilsons life but this situation that was brought upon him will make it so difficult for him to ever be prosperous again.

Immigration Order
In my last post i wrote about Obamas executive orders and how the imperial presidency may be returning but i didn't get in-depth about anything because there was no knowledge of what was to come. Now the orders have began and things will be out of control soon enough. Obamas first ORDER of business has been to work on immigration laws and reform. He knows nothing will be allowed with the new Congress so he makes his orders regarding immigration now. The following article describes, from a conservative point of view, the wrongs Obama is doing:
http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/opinion/2014/11/21/opinion-presidents-immigration-executive-order-tramples-constitution/
The article makes reference to the safeguards that are laid out in the constitution through the separate pillars of our government. All this has been thrown out the door by Obamas actions. I don't think the policy implementation is the problem in this case. The problem is that we should be scared of what measures Obama is taking to get what he wants. HE DOES NOT HAVE THAT POWER! It doesn't seem as though anyone is attempting to stop this either.
The article is really very interesting but also very biased to make Obama look very bad. There are references to when Obama said that he couldn't make such actions in 2010. Now sense he is making these actions it appears he is a deceptive liar. He has nothing to lose at this point so why hold back now?

Executive Order
Prior to our previous election Obama had complete control of the Congress with the democratic majority. Well, following November 4, the midterm election, this all changed. Who knows what the cause of this was? Are Americans sick of Obama? Are they ready for change from Obama? Do they just want to see something new happen? Or do they just want the truth? Whatever the case the GOP now has control of the Congress.
Following the finalization of the results of the election, President Obama was, to say the least, pissed. It seemed as though he didn't know how to respond in the sense that he wouldn't be able to carry out his "plan."After a few days to regroup he was in an attack mode and sent out statements saying he was going to do what he wanted through executive order regardless of the situation. If he wanted legislation that would never be passed, he would use executive order to implement his plans without the interference of Congress. This is no way to act as the president of the United States.
Following his statements it has been released that he has ten different actions that he plans to use executive orders to push. This is a selfish way to act because he knows he won't get his way unless he uses this power that really shouldn't be his in the first place. If Congress, the representation of the people, do not want things to be passed its probably not what the people want. It doesn't matter what the presidents wants. we elected him to do things for us. Executive Rule is not for the people.
