WH: Obama Being Called Emperor Is ‘Criticism the President Wears with a Badge of Honor’



BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
November 19, 2014 3:07 pm

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said President Obama wears the ‘emperor’ label “with a badge of honor” during a press briefing Wednesday.
Responding to rhetoric from critics of Obama’s impending executive action on immigration reform, Earnest said the president has no problem using the law to make “progress.”
“We heard rhetoric for some time. Their most recent statement referred to ‘Emperor Obama,’” Earnest said. “The fact is the president is somebody who is willing to examine the law, review the law and use every element of that law to make progress for the American people and that’s a criticism the president wears with badge of honor.”
Obama is set to announce his plans for an immigration overhaul on Thursday before traveling to Las Vegas on Friday to build support for his executive amnesty plan.
When asked about the legality of executive amnesty for 5 million illegal immigrants, Earnest said we would have to wait for Obama’s announcement to find out whether or not it is legal.
“We’ll have ample opportunity to discuss legal basis for the president’s executive actions once he’s announced them,” Earnest said.
Sound familiar?
Speaking on Obamacare in 2010, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said lawmakers would “have to pass the bill so you that you can find out what is in it.”

Obama views ‘emperor’ charge as a badge of honor: White House

The White House said Wednesday that President Obama “wears with a badge of honor” the Republicans’ criticism that he’s behaving as an emperor as he prepares to issue an executive order on immigration.
Responding to an aide to Speaker John A. Boehner referring to the president Wednesday as “Emperor Obama,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it doesn’t bother Mr. Obama.

“We’ve heard this kind of rhetoric about lawlessness from the House Republicans for some time,” Mr. Earnest said. “The president is somebody who’s willing to examine the law, review the law and use every element of that law to make progress for the American people. And if that is something that Republicans are critical of, that’s, you know, maybe a criticism that the president wears with a badge of honor.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) went “On The Record” tonight, where he charged that President Barack Obama has “absolutely no right” to act alone on illegal immigration.
Paul noted that Obama has said 22 times before that he doesn’t have the power to legislate on his own in terms of illegal immigration.
“The president can’t do this, this goes against the fundamental separation of powers that we have in our country,” he said.
Paul urged the House to pass a resolution saying that what Obama is doing is contrary to the will of the House.
“History will treat him unkindly on this if he thinks he can become king,” he said of Obama.

America Throws Up Over Obama's Immigration Executive Action Even Before It Is Announced


Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/19/2014 13:20 -0500

Ahead of President Obama's address to the nation tomorrow to dictate his executive orders on immigration, potentially allowing millions of undocumented immigrants to stay legally in the US, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds nearly half of Americans disapprove of his plan. Only a dismal 38% support the President taking this executive action... which makes us wonder if there has ever been so much revulsion at the policies of a standing President. It's good to be king.
As NBC News reports,

Forty-eight percent oppose Obama taking executive action on immigration -- which could come as soon as later this week -- while 38 percent support it; another 14 percent have no opinion or are unsure.

...

Not surprisingly, these numbers largely break along partisan lines: 63 percent of Democrats approve of Obama taking executive action here, versus just 11 percent of Republicans and 37 percent of independents.

Latinos are divided, with 43 percent supporting the action and 37 percent opposing it.

White House: Obama Sees ‘Emperor’ Label As ‘Badge Of Honor’

Reporters grill Press Secretary, ask if Obama sees himself as 'King'

In a remarkable exchange, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told gathered reporters Wednesday that President Obama looks upon being criticised as an ‘emperor’ as “a badge of honor”.
Responding to a question regarding Republican criticism of Obama’s executive amnesty plans, Earnest said “We’ve heard this rhetoric for some time.”
“Their most recent statement referred to ‘Emperor Obama,’” Earnest said, adding “The fact is the president is somebody who is willing to examine the law, review the law and use every element of that law to make progress for the American people and that’s a criticism the president wears with badge of honor.”



Obama is set to announce the extremely controversial executive agenda tonight, then he will travel to Las Vegas in an attempt to garner support for the measure.
When asked about the legality of giving 5 million illegal immigrants executive amnesty, Earnest replied “We’ll have ample opportunity to discuss legal basis for the president’s executive actions once he’s announced them.”
Earlier in the week, reporters asked Secretary Earnest if Obama thinks he is an emperor.
ABC reporter Jonathan Karl referred to the numerous times in the past that Obama commented on how he doesn’t have legal authority to bypass Congress and declare amnesty. In February last year Obama even said, “I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”
Just one month prior to that, the president stated in an interview “I think it is important to remind everybody that, as I said I think previously, and I’m not a king. I am the head of the executive branch of government. I’m required to follow the law.”
At the press briefing Tuesday, ABC’s Karl asked Earnest, “Does the president still stand by what he said last year when he said, ‘I am not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.’ Is that still operative?”
“Absolutely,” Earnest replied.
“Not a king, either?” asked Karl, prompting laughter from other reporters.
“That’s right,” said Earnest replied.

Unfortunately for Obama, the rest of the nation does not agree. “He is an emperor and he’s going to prove it whenever he does this,” said syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, echoing broad sentiment.
Calling Obama a “sociopathic liar”, Limbaugh added “Obama knows everything he’s doing. He knows who he lies to. He knows why he lies, and he knows he’s going to get away with it. He knows he’s not going to be called on it… You’re not going to stop Obama by pointing out his … hypocrisy.” Limbaugh explained.
“The point is much larger than Obama is a hypocrite. He is exactly what he claims that he is not. And he knows the American people are not ready for a dictator or an authoritarian or a statist. He knows the American people wouldn’t support that. And that’s why he’s gotta lie. … He knows he’s violating the Constitution and he’s happy to do it, by the way.” the firebrand radio host added.

The emperor label is now being bandied around openly by lawmakers. In a statement Tuesday, Senator Jeff Sessions wrote “President Obama previously said he could not issue an executive amnesty because ‘I’m the President of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.’ Well, apparently we now have an ‘Emperor of the United States.’”
Michael Steel, the spokesman for Republican House Speaker John Boehner, issued a similar statement condemning the amnesty plan.
“If ‘Emperor Obama’ ignores the American people and announces an amnesty plan that he himself has said over and over again exceeds his Constitutional authority, he will cement his legacy of lawlessness and ruin the chances for Congressional action on this issue – and many others,” Steel said.
The statement came on the heels of a list, released by Boehner’s staff, of 22 times that Obama has said the president has limited powers, and can’t act on his own.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) also published an op-ed in Politico titled “Obama Is Not A Monarch” that similarly criticized the president’s plan as “lawless.”
“Undeterred, President Obama appears to be going forward. It is lawless. It is unconstitutional. He is defiant and angry at the American people. If he acts by executive diktat, President Obama will not be acting as a president, he will be acting as a monarch,” Cruz wrote.
