Obama doesn't say hey BLM.. go take this rancher's land because I want a new park named after me.. It doesn't work that way.
You want him to act and say stop.. Yet weren't you just complaining in another topic about how many executive actions Obama has done? Complaining when he does act on his own and then complaining when he doesn't is just silly. There is nothing he can ever do to satisfy you guys because no matter what he does or doesn't do it's always bad.

Pres. Obama IS the executive branch.
And having his BLM or any of the other agencies go after people is his job. It's not an "executive order" that circumvents congress.
And what I said VERY specifically is:
Either the Pres. is in charge or he is not.
If he was too busy at fundraisers and giving speeches at high schools to be "in the loop" for damn near anything and everything...then he is incompetent.
But even if that is so...all he had to do was turn on the television to see what was happening. And THEN he COULD have stopped it.
I do not believe for one second that he is incompetent or ignorant about the things that are going on.
The fact he did not so anything even after all hell broke loose says to me that the whole thing is a favor to Sen. Reid (of my state), who obviously has something planned for that desert land.
That is the way it appears to me.
But go ahead...keep defending a lifetime/career politician who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire...UNLESS he had some way of making money on helping you. lol
