You missed the actual reason...we have congressional republicans that vote no or block the vote on everything that does not enrich their corporatist masters. Background checks were agreed upon by 90% of the country, yet that couldn't get passed by a congress because congressional Republicans are paid off by the NRA and don't want to piss the NRA off. They can car less if they piss the people off...but they put the kid gloves on when it comes to corporate lobbyists. So I call BS on your statement as a whole.

He's had to resort to using agencies to advance his agenda (FCC, EPA, BLM, IRS, Border Protection, DoJ) for one of two main reasons (or both): 1. The policy that he wants to push is so far afield of what the American people would accept that even a simple majority in Congress is willing to touch it. 2. The action or policy change he wants to implement runs directly counter to either the Constitution or existing Federal Law. What most Americans, especially our President and members of the Media seem to forget is that the Federal government was designed to be slow. The Constitution is a document that defines what the government *can* do as well as what it *can't*. The fact that Obama is whining to a left-wing publication about his inability to "get things done" after being in office for 5 years should speak volumes. Until Later! C.
