The Power to Destroy

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Monday that President Obama is "very interested" in the idea of raising taxes through unilateral executive action. [More]
Yeah, it's right there under Article.II. Section... well, I'm sure there's some precedent somewhere.  Who would even think to question it except some right wing extremist hater we'd better just keep an eye on...?

Speaking of Josh Earnest -- and what an Opposite Day "progressive" name that is -- did you catch what he said about the ammo ban?
The president has long believed that there are some common sense steps that we can take to, and what I mean is the federal government including Congress, to ensure that we are protecting the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans...
Yes, by all means, let's allow these people to lead that "national conversation on guns" we're supposed to be having.

Can you imagine being Josh Earnest?  That's a weakness I have, because I still can't. Ultimately, I guess it's not important to know why a snake bites, is it?
