In reply to wodun.

In 2012 there were approximately 250,000,000 Americans of voting age.
Obama got about 66,000,000.
This means there was 184,000,000 people who DIDN’T vote for him.
About 3 times as many who voted for him.
By his own rules he should not be allowed to claim he has any support and he should resign. Make him live by his own rules.

Apparently the EPA has just declared 1.4 million acres of Colorado and Utah off limits to energy exploration to protect another “endangered” bird species.

It is interesting how Politico reports Obama’s international agreements as a done deal without bringing up that the Senate is supposed to approve treaties. Just because Obama is playing word games by calling a treaty a pledge, the Senate is supposed to approve agreements that entangle us with other countries.

“If anyone has any doubt left that this president, and the left, doesn’t care what the American public wants, this story lays that doubt to rest forever.”

First time in our history, that a President has claimed a mandate is given by the people who didn’t vote and then creates imaginary policy positions that this group holds. It is like Obama’s typical use of strawman tactics only this time is creates a strawman that agrees with him.
