Nitwit, the President is the chief executive, not the Emperor, as Obama treats the office. The President never has a mandate. That's why we have a representative democracy. The President may propose, but Congress enacts. The President is then obligated, if he follows Constitutional requirements and precedent, to carry out those laws. The Obama exploration of the profligate use of executive orders and "czars" is a slippery slope.

Why it’s Romney and Not Very Close

If you were expecting a cliff hanger, you still could get one, but really it’s Romney and it likely won’t be close.

There are a few reasons why I think that.

We will delve into those, but we will also look at the voting datapoints provided by pollster Chris Wilson that say an Obama win just isn’t in the cards.

First, let’s list my “feelings” as to why I don’t think Obama will win.

Obama hasn’t delivered.

On anything.

Except perhaps bankrupting anyone who wants to operate coal-fired power plants.

Oh, and keeping gas prices high.
