Not that I am a Consitutional law expert, but I have read the Consitution and the Declaration of Independence a few times and have not found anything which would allow a president or any other elected official to suspend elections.. The statement from Perdue, thoughtles and stupid as it was, was one of two things.
1) Raw, emotional stupidity
2) Testing reactions to the idea, since this had come up in May and June of 2010
Words have meaning and should not be used lightly, so this is a stupid somment which deserves a serious answer to. If any elected officials from my state said something similar I would lead a petition demanding their resignation as they were behaving in a manner that violated the spirit and the letter of the electoral process.

A typical comment from the left “fringe” that read The New Republic too much democracy article written by the former Obama budget director.
“What Orszag is advocating is the transfer of even more power to well born and wealthy self selected governing elites — you know, people like him who after pricey private school and Ivy League schooling move without effort back and forth from powerful non-elected positions in government to extreme wealth in huge private sector corporations like, for example, Citigroup (whose bail out, continuation intact, and unindicted senior executives constitute a national scandal). For starters, as a credential Mr. Orszag should disclose his Citigroup salary and perks.”

If you already know about them, what’s to disclose?

why is a private citizens wages and salary any bodys business?

Only idiots believe that people who have recently left an administration no longer have influence on that administration. Orszag is not making a proposal about how Citigroup should function.
If he wants to change how our democracy works and I think his suggestions are to benefit him financially I think I have a right to ask him how his relationships between the private and public sectors are currently benefiting him. Otherwise he can pound sand.

I think the entire Obama administration has told most of the US population to pound sand in one way or another. What’s one more time mean to me?

Isn’t that a foregone conclusion? Progressives want us to progress to socialism then, when that fails, to some form of strong centralized authority, which is usually a dictator of some sort. Remember, the secular progressive’s ideas aren’t bad, but it’s our system that won’t vest enough authority in a single person to authorize the immediate summary execution on the side of the road, by the officer making the stop, of the ECO criminal who drives on under-inflated tires… that’s promoting AGW… for our own good… and the children!

Jawöhl Mein Führer! Sieg Heil!! Daß sagt alles.
We need a super committee of 12. When that fails a super committee of 6 … until a super committee of 1 which is the president!
Did the links work for you?
Nope — links did not work.
When it goes to the blogger page not found, click on the link in the middle of the page. That takes to the correct page
