As Twitchy reported, President Obama has predicted that this year will be “a year of action in which to maximize the economic recovery.”
POTUS repeated something he said during promise zone event last week. That this will be a "year of action."

But all that recovering won’t be easy. He may have to take some extra action. You know, take matters into his own hands. With the aid of his trusty pen and phone, of course:

“Not just going to be waiting for legislation”? What the hell? Who does the president think he is?

Obama has a pen and a phone, but missed the day they handed out knowledge about separation of powers.

If you like your pen, Mr. President, you can keep your pen.
Is this the moment in time where I tell @BarackObama what he can do with his pen? https://t.co/gZVhMS4bsZ
