White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said President Barack Obama will
?continue? to act ?administratively? without congressional authorization
to ?benefit the American people? as part of the White House?s ?We Can?t
Wait? campaign.

?He [Obama] fully understands that the kinds of things that are
contained within the American Jobs Act require congressional action,
require laws being passed, and that?s why he?s pressing for Congress to
take action legislatively,? Carney told reporters on Monday at the White
House.

?But he can also act independently or, rather, administratively, and
exercise his executive authority to benefit the American people in other
ways. And he will continue to do that.?

Carney dismissed House Speaker John Boehner?s disapproval of the
president acting unilaterally. (RELATED: Boehner blasts Obama on
economy: Sidestepping Congress is ?laughable?)

?I was asked about this concern, which I would just suggest is
misplaced, because the president is acting well within his authority,
well within his constitutional authority,? Carney said.

?He is simply acting to help the American people, whether it?s with
their mortgages, their student loans, their access to vital drugs,
assisting businesses to speed up the process by which they get a, you
know, contracts, with their payments from the federal government. These
are all measures he can take administratively, and he will continue to
take them.?

Carney also said Boehner ?could certainly assist in the effort by
allowing the provisions of the American Jobs Act, for example, to be
voted on by the House of Representatives.?

Interesting. Problem is, obama and harry reid can't get the democrat
controlled senate to pass any of obama's ridiculous *stimulus*. Of
course, obama can't get reid to vote on any of the dozen or so bills
that have already passed the house, either. The wheels have fallen
off.

This administration's only hope is for a stupid, ill-informed
electorate.

Well, he has DaveK.
