I guess by now it's no surprise that Obama has nothing but disdain for the democratic process (when it doesn't go his way) and prefers to implement his disastrous policies, and legislation by fiat, rather than going through the system that he so despises - He really would prefer a Dictatorship -- all this stuff about "working the levers of the legislative process" is too much trouble for him.
In this video Obama instructs his advisers to "scour" this "jobs" report and not to wait for Congress, but implement it through "administrative actions" despite the fact that the people, the Senate, the Congress have all agreed it's an election stunt that will help the economy, and a pathetic attempt to save only one job, his.

We Will Come First - Occupy Wall Street Condoms
The Hope and Change movement has evolved into the Occupy Wall Street movement. Obama hasn't done much to help the country or the economy, and there is a lot of anger from the left. But where to put it ? They can't blame themselves, when the guy you voted into power fails you what do you do -- blame the system.
Well if the Wall Street protesters aren't working -- the system is, at least for those that still choose to use it.
In a move reflective of the true nature of capitalism, one store has begun offering novelty Occupy Wall Street condoms – with slogans like “We Will Come First!” stamped on each wrapper. To show a little love for the protesters, who have been living on the streets for days, these crowd-stoppers are being sold at a 70 percent discount – “to demonstrate support for social change and the virtuous pursuit of equality for all.”
Sadly, this product is probably one of the few stimuli packages that’ve worked since 2008. Obama has not done much to protect his people or his country’s economy. And despite the “we won’t be screwed!” claims featured on the Occupy Wall Street condoms, it’s precisely the reason for the movement’s existence in the first place.
They got screwed. They weren’t protected. And while they’re shooting blanks at the banks, the robber – and rubber – barons are still feeling good and not playing safe.

Obama betting 2008 no fluke - Americans really are stupid
Obama is betting that Americans are really as stupid as his 2008 presidential campaign seemed to bear out, and that they will fall for the soaring rhetoric, and ignore his incompetency and failed policies to reelect him in 2012.
He has thrown any pretense of governing the nation out the window and has switched to full campaign mode, not even making the slightest attempt to be truthful, or to try and work the legislative levers to get anything done.
Obama's constant haranguing to pass his jobs bill is more about his power to persuade the American people to vote for him in 2012, then it is about passing legislation or creating jobs. He knows it won't pass, but wants to make sure that Congress gets the blame, not him. And when Obama says "Congress" he means Republicans.
It is all about Obama, he is willing to use his failed jobs bill as a campaign message against the Republicans for his reelection. The people, the economy, the country be damned, its all a campaign stunt.
When Obama accuses Republicans of standing in the way of his nearly $450 billion plan, he ignores the fact that his own party has refused to unite behind the proposal either.
When Obama says Republicans haven't explained what they oppose in the plan, he ignores the fact that Republicans who control the House actually have done that in detail.
And when he calls on Congress to "pass this bill now," he slides past the point that Democrats control the Senate and were never prepared to move immediately, given other priorities. Senators are expected to vote Tuesday on opening debate on the bill, a month after the president unveiled it with a call for its immediate passage.
To be sure, Obama is only engaging in rhetorical excesses. But he is the president, and as such, his constant remarks on the bill draw the most attention and scrutiny.
The disconnect between what Obama says about his jobs bill and what stands as the political reality flow from his broader aim: to rally the public behind his cause and get Congress to act, or, if not, to pin blame on Republicans.
This is all about campaigning, not governing, and all about the success of Obama, not America.

"He knows it's not going to pass. He's betting that voters won't pick up on it, or even if they do they will blame Congress and he can run against the 'do-nothing Congress,'" said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior fellow at the University of Southern California's School of Policy, Planning and Development.
