President Obama's Gamble

For John, BLUF:  I tend to think of President Obama as cautious, but this latest move has risks.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I am not saying that I fully agree with Chris Muir in his characterization of President Obama's actions yesterday, but I think he does catch a part of the truth.

For those who don't know the three folks in the background, contact me off line.

As for the President's actions, probably legal, but he did go out of his way to stick his thumb in the eye of House Speaker John Boehner.

More important is the question of (1) if this is all legal and by the Constitution, (2) why did he wait lo these five plus years to make this happen?  Was it neglect or dereliction of duty?  That is the question the Main Stream Media should be asking today, not recommending adding to the Mickey Mouse Copyright Laws to include a tax on single works of art to be paid back to the original artist.  That is not nearly as important as the question of what the President is up to and not up to.

Is The Boston Globe just slow off the mark or are their Lordships in the Editorial Office unable or unwilling to speak truth to power, at least to Democrat Party power?  And the Dynamic Duo at The [Lowell] Sun?
