Congress Could Quickly End Obama's Gun Grab
by MIKE FLYNN

President Obama announced sweeping new executive orders on gun regulations Tuesday at the White House. Within moments of those remarks, Republican Congressional offices issued press statements criticizing Obama's unilateral moves to tighten gun restrictions. Left out of any Republican statements, however, was any promise to cut funding for Obama's actions. No matter what the White House may propose, Congress still exercises the power of the purse.

Yes they do have the 'power of the purse' over Obozo, but how have they used it in the recent past.

QuoteThe omnibus spending bill recently shepharded through Congress by GOP Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56%
and GOP Senate Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)46%
provided funding for all executive orders issued by President Obama. It even continued funding for a number of regulations and provisions that had already been rejected by federal courts.

That's how the damn RINO's used the 'power of the purse'.

This basically says it all about our CONgresscritters: "Republicans do possess every power necessary to block Obama's gun grab except one: political courage."

Yes they could, assuming they even wanted to.
It's not that Congress is inept, it's that they're making themselves irrelevant.

It will be interesting to see how many of the RINOs get primaried out of office.   

We will soon know.

Word has it, Ryan is the biggest target and prize.

I think you hit the nail right on the head!

Despite impressive gains by the Tea Party types, the RINOs still control the GOP and the sad truth is that they are in favor of Obama's actions - the want more gun control too. No, they'd never vote for gun control. After all, they have to keep up apperances for the people back home, but they can give tacit approval to Obama's gun control measures - which is exactly what they have done.

Don't expect anyone to seriously challenge Obama's latest Imperial Proclamation!

Yep, that's it exactly! Lip service.

Looking at all those tears, I though Boehner was back.  Crocodile tears.  I saw no tears when an American was beheaded or a Jordanian was burned alive in a cage.  Where were the tears when those two Americans were killed yesterday in Afghanistan?  Faker.  Back to golf.

So much for The Oath they take only to then routinely spit on it. Scumbags.

And today the scumbags voted on a partial repeal of Obamacare with defunding PP.  It passed and will go to Obama's desk for a prompt veto!

This is the ONLY clean Bill they have sent to Obama.  It has no teeth!!!!   

All other Bills are full of incentives for Obama to sign. 

Everyone knows that a repeal of Obamacare must be attached to something Obama absolutely has to have. 

Now the Congress critters can smugly say that they have done what the voters wanted!

How stupid do they think we are??????

OMG!!! See the bunny?
These fools think we've already forgotten the Omnibus Bill.

The only way they can give Obozo a bill he'll sign, with Obozocare repealed and PP defunded, is a bill that outlaws all guns. He'd sign it in a heartbeat. CONgress is spineless enough to do it too.

If only.... just entertain the idea for a moment, Censured Obama!

OK, so nothing's gonna happen - BUT!!!   If the LSM got caught up with these interference tactics, and BO had to trot out, "Ahhhh,  Ammmmm, duh!" to defend and correct his image, who knows, he might be too busy for further damage.   Before you poo-poo the idea, imagine for a sec, a "team" of Senators or Congressmen going on the attack every time BO opens his mouth, with well reasoned arguments.

Perfect - the ones that call Conservatives "nuts", "wacko birds" and "kooks" - are providing ample evidence, THEY set the example.
Just a bunch of name-calling - but, the more "interference" and... ah... harassment... as Rush would say, "live in his head, rent free", just keep wearing him down, while he tries to protect his legacy - he's a student of Saul Alinsky

Good article, deals with his double-speak on Gun Control and the 2nd Amendment, healthcare, etc..

QuoteFor those who have paid attention, President Obama has a knack for saying one thing and doing another altogether: a knack for claiming one position while actually occupying another. We first saw this when he was campaigning for president in 2008 and the Supreme Court struck down DC's gun ban via the Heller decision. At the time, he claimed to mutually support the gun ban and the 2nd Amendment. (Proving this wasn't a fluke, when Chicago's gun ban was struck down 2 years later via the McDonald decision, he again claimed he supported both the gun ban and the 2nd Amendment.)

Nothing in politics happens in a vacuum.  He's after much more, talking tough didn't work, now he knows tears don't work, challenging the NRA to a debate failed - so, what's next?

They could if it was a clean bill. There are no clean bills.
