ROFLMAO.

At the most, he will do as he did with the ACA mid-August 2009.

"Due to my supreme admiration for the separation of powers, blah blah blah, I cannot say much. This is a matter that Congress is dealing with. And these considerations presented by Sen Warren would be one tool to help students, but there are other tools also available to students. Like working four jobs a piece till the day they die."

That being said, he will return to the really important stuff he does, like deciding which people get to be murdered by our drones.

You can't stop and give this President an ounce of credit for his accomplishments.

That's just sad.

Non stop enabling actions for the One Percent. Banking Industry given control over the Treasury and fed reserve. CHECK!

Privatization of our school system under Arne Duncan. CHECK!

Further involvement in new wars, such as Syria, where we will be supporting Al Queda, and continued support for the old endless wars, via drones. CHECK!

Monsanto allowed to totally speed ahead with vomitoxin-contaminated crops, on account of his Monsanto-involved FDA and Dept of Ag appointments. CHECK!
These GM crops are so risky that 35 other nations refuse to allow to grow in their farmlands, as those nations understand what is at stake.

Anyway, a lot of us here at DU do realize the stakes just went higher. Before this NSA scandal broke, all we could expect that when we point out Obama's RW characteristics is that we would be called racists.

Now we can expect to be considered terrorists as well.

Read the OP, really, read it.

He's spoken to the issue, he's created a website and a twitter hash tag and is about as public about it as can be.
