Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack reminded America on Wednesday what the Obama government thinks of Congress:
“I think we’re trying to work with Congress when we can and when they can’t or won’t, we’re going to continue to act. That’s what I think the American public wants us to do.”
In other words, the president and his administration will consider the wishes of Congress when it’s convenient and when Congress seems likely to cooperate. The rest of the time Obama and his lawless team will pretty much do what they want, ignoring the checks and balances established to moderate the executive branch.
Continuing the Obama administration’s shunning of Congress, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack heralded the unilateral establishment “climate hubs” across the country.“These climate action hubs are really part of the president’s climate action plan and its directive of us to actually act, not wait for Congress, not wait for laws to be passed, but to do it on our own,” Vilsack said at the White House Wednesday.
Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate Change will be located in seven locations around the country, Vilsack told reporters. He said farmers and ranchers have a direct interest in combating climate change because of the adverse impacts of storms and droughts on land.
The climate hubs are supposed to address and mitigate the risks fires, invasive pests, floods and droughts on a regional basis to assist farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. The hubs are also designed to link a network of universities, non-governmental organizations and federal agencies such as the Department of Interior and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and state agencies.
Responding to a question about being dismissive of Congress, Vilsack stressed that the administration worked with Congress to push the recent farm bill through which President Barack Obama is set to sign.
“As the president has said repeatedly, if there is an opportunity to work with Congress, we will work with Congress, and we did,” Vilsack said. “We’ve been waiting a while for Congress to work on climate. Fair enough. There are multiple reasons why they haven’t. But in the meantime, we’re going to take action because 51 percent of the land mass of the United States is a lot of land. It’s over 1.2 billion acres of land.”

These morons can’t comprehend or understand the rule of law
Totally out of control, and we the people don’t like it!
hell no.
What is it going to take to get the Congress (Baboons) to understand that Oliar is moving ever closer to destroying this Nation? Not a shot has been fired yet, but Oliar will tell you that He and the Muslim Nations are at war with this Country. He has strategically appointed Muslims in key Cabinet Positions, He forewarned the Congress (Baboons) that he fully intends to bypass the Congress and move ahead with his objectives. Every day in Face Book, there are reports from all over our country of Muslims committing a myriad of Capital Crimes and in some case getting away with these crimes. There are still 30 plus Muslim Terrorists Training Camps up and operating within the United States. This is insane. Government For The People no longer exists. It is time to quit asking the Congress (Baboons) to do things they are incapable of doing. Lets let them stew in their own juices so to speak. I firmly believe we need to concentrate on each and every state taking the necessary actions to purge each state of any and all Muslims, groups and organizations. Empower each Governor to write State Level Executive Orders like Oliar does. The only place where talk is pre-eminent, is in a debate. The time for talk is over. Lets forward this to the office of every Governor as food for thought and lets see how it is received. May God Help The USA….Semper Fi
I still say that a 17 trillion dollar debt adds to climate change more than any other single thing. Three large volcanos in a year will put the world into the deep-freeze.
Follow the law and the constitution or get out of our country!
We are the people and he is going what we do not want including him.We do not want Obama either.
STOP OBAMA. HE IS LAWLESS.
If Congress don’t Act its apparent they are not needed, get rid of all of them !!
not unexpected. Who appointed this guy? Guess. It’s because the American people want it that way? Pure BS. It’s because Obama wants it that way. 🙁 Check out the “popularity” polls.
