President Obama has been writing more executive orders than most families write Christmas cards, the latest one gives congress a pay raise.  It "isn't much", just 1/2 of 1% but it is the principle behind it.  It is blatantly obvious that our dear leader will indeed spend us into oblivion, be it a little at a time, or in huge chunks, he truly thinks there is no limit on his tab.

This is a blatant abuse of power not granted to the President by the Constitution. Congress, alone, controls how much they get paid. Of course, the only people who can effectively challenge the President on this, is Congress...

... and they just got a pay raise!

Yup, I'm thinking this was some pre-fiscal cliff vote back scratching...if you know what I mean (with a side of giant middle finger to the American public).
