It does seem the GOP is getting overly confident about the up coming election. Time will tell on that issue.
As for the last minute executive orders, maybe there should be some legislation limiting or banning the use of executive orders within some time frame prior to the POTUS (applied to both/all parties) leaving office with the only exceptions being in the case of an emergency - "emergency" in this case would also have to be defined as well.

Yes... God forbid he should pass some heinous regulations like Clinton did in 2001. I mean the nerve of that Liberal scumbag to sneak in regs that protected 60 million acres of forest from logging and road building, lowered acceptable lead limits in paint and setting minimum efficiency standards for air conditioners.
Damn liberal scum.... /end sarcasm

Is it only Fast and Furious that the GOP my be referencing? The health care issue is still a hot topic. Would there be anything Obama could do in that regards to help save it even if the SCOTUS strikes all or part of it down?

He hasn't kept one promise he made in 2009...Why would he start now? And why would the GOP state that he should hold to those promises now?? What about the last 3 years?
Peace

Well OK then. The article you linked really cleared things up for me and I totally see where you're coming from. It's just too bad they can't take action now and instead have to wait until we are closer to election time. I really hate politics sometimes.

Why the warning April 11, 2012 about rogue actions ???
The election isn't until November 6, 2012.

It's rhetoric... now that Santorum is out of the race it's time to focus on Obama.

For all intents and purposes the GOP nomination is all but final.
Can you be more specific and less vague?
