Bingo. President Stompy Foot strikes again.
The always awesome Amanda Carpenter, senior communications adviser for Sen. Cruz, rightly gave him the business.
LAWLESS RT @NorahODonnell: Denis McDonough: "Rather than sit and wait for Congress to take action, we're gonna roll out on our own."

Obama can't wait for Congress. Can't be bothered with the Constitution. Welcome to his unaccountable, lawless second term.

President Pen in a nutshell!
Obama's lawless decision to take unilateral action is a damning admission of his total failure to govern by consensus.

Yep. The only things at which he excels are stompy footing and failure.
Obama is going it alone because he can't convince anyone to go with him. This doesn't make him strong; it shows how weak he really is

Ding, ding, ding!
Obama has selectively enforced Obamacare, immigration laws, welfare laws, drug laws. #SOTU will only showcase more of Obama's abuse of power

@ron_fournier Low approval ratings don't make Congress optional.
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) January 28, 2014
So..let me get this right. Obama's whole #SOTU approach is "If Congress won't do X, I will." That's pure defiance of separation of powers.
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) January 28, 2014
Precisely.
Carpenter then brought it all home with this simple truth:
Well, yes. Americans have been lied to. #Obamacare RT @DomenicoNBC: FNBC News poll: Pessimism defines the state of the union

Nailing? Achieved!
