But, then he has to because:

1. Congress has basically been out to lunch for the last 4 years
2. Congress is currently out of town
3. Congress is totally ineffective in coming together to act about things like this, with the immediacy this situation requires
4. Congress is currently suing President Obama, so to be sure, they don't really want to "play nice" with the President
5. Congressmen and congresswomen are too busy to be consulted about this situation because they are running for re-election
6. President Obama doesn't need Congress' approval for this action

And that last reason, folks, is a doozy!!!!
It came with the furniture . . . he don't gotta ask them chit about it!!!!!

<--- He's yelling, "Go Obama"
