Our Caesar's Wife

Criticism of the policies of our current president can be dangerous for those who disagree  with the policies. It is as if the current occupant of the White House is immune from critical reviews of his ideas, performance, or lack thereof, policies, and executive decisions and executive orders. In many cases Executive Orders are used to bypass the constitutional requirement of Congressional approval for appointments, spending taxpayer money, budget questions, and implementation of new laws.  Whereas the Executive Branch has the responsibility, authority, and duty to implement new laws, it does not have the authority to change laws to suit its political agenda. 


With Obamacare the president has delayed implementation of numerous sections of the law, given out exemptions to favored political allies, changed the law via executive fiat, Faqwas, I call them, and made other arbitrary changes to the law WITHOUT the approval of Congress or the federal courts.  Does the Chief Executive have the constitutional authority to make all these changes?


Where are the court cases challenging these arbitrary changes?


Recently, the Democrat Majority Leader of the United States Senate called the people who have lost their health care because of the implementation of Obamacare "liars."  Sen Reid claimed all the horror stories from thousands if not millions of Americans were  'just made up". 


"Just made up".  Reid and people like him care little for the reality of everyday life Americans must face.  Life is much tougher now than it was 6 years ago. Reid and his political party have no sympathy for people who complain about real life issues.


To make matters worse anyone who criticizes Obamacare or any other policy of the past 5 years is called a racist, a bigot, out of touch, narrow-minded, and too simple to understand what is good for them. 


And above all, no one is permitted to critique the occupant of the White House because the occupant is indeed Caesar's wife.
