    Romney wins in 2012. He begins to delay parts of ObamaCare on whims, which basically rewrites the law as he sees fits to give exemptions to certain groups. This isn't by EO, it is literally amending passed legislation that has even been approved by the USSC.

    Would the media be silent if Romney was delaying an Obama law that was passed by Congress?

    Of course they wouldn't. The template is now set for future presidents. If you don't like parts of a law, or an entire law, just decree changes to it, and that changes the law that is enacted by congress, and signed by a President.

    Obama's media supporters are too stupid to see this precedent, though. Obama is not only exercising the line-item veto, but he also is changing the existing law via EO.

    It's unprecedented.

    The media's reaction has been silence. People called Bush an imperial president? That shit makes me laugh compared to the guy who is in the White House right now.

    Tweaks to health care legislation don't compare to starting two massive generation-long wars, complete with dozens of torture asylums around the planet, with the only rational decipherable goal being to rectify one's father's reputation in not marching on Baghdad in Iraq War I.

    I don't know why you bother nitpicking Obama. Just wait 3 years to start your new wars and tax cuts for the rich.
