[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2832857, member: 3448"] I think Executive Action is the term. While I am concerned about the president's attempt to expand the regulation of firearms I'm seeing the latest tearful speech and executive actions as smoke and mirrors. A distraction from the failures of his presidency and propaganda to stir the base in an election year. While he won't be running, thousands of Democrats across the country will be running. If President Obama really wanted to implement these changes he would have done it when he had majority support in both houses. He would also have obtained funding in the recently passed Ominibus Bill that appears to have given him everything he wanted. But he didn't ask for any of the funding that is included in his statement from Tuesday. Simply an election year stunt without a downside for him. If it sticks he wins, if it fails some Democrats may win. [/QUOTE]
