Obama jabs Congress during turkey pardon

Published on Nov 23, 2011 by AFP
A day ahead of the US national holiday Thanksgiving, President Barack Obama performed the offbeat tradition of "pardoning" a turkey, ensuring the bird will live out its days without being served up as the festivity's main dish. Obama joked it was one duty he could perform without approval of an obstructive Congress. Duration: 00:31

And tez the congress will not budge on anything. Its hurting the country. The door swings both ways.

It is constitutional. Presidents have certain powers the congress does not. One of them is executive orders. Now, there are limits to what he can order the country to do. But I can't blame him for giving out executive orders with how congress has been stonewalling him.

Mr. President, legislating through executive orders is unconstitutional and opens you to reasonable comparison to absolute monarchs and dictators.
Finding a way to work with and compromise with Congress is how the President of the United States is supposed to govern. Ignoring the legislative branch and acting like your decisions and ideas are the only ones that count means you are violating your oath of office.
