Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama rebuffed by Congress on gutting the Clinton welfare reform law.

The Administration claims that it increased the work requirement for the Clinton historic work/welfare reform law. It does not tell you that it now allows “looking for work” as fulfilling the work requirement and getting a message. There are other equally liberally defined “work” functions.

But more than this, understand that the law, itself, prohibits ANY changes to its declarations via such things as presidential decree. Obama is prohibited by law, the very welfare law he changed by fiat, from making the changes he made. And it looking as if his little plan is not going to fly.

The Hill:

The House voted Thursday to block the Obama administration’s decision to let states waive the current work requirement for welfare recipients.

Members approved the Republican resolution of disapproval in a 250-164 vote, after a bitter debate in which Republicans charged President Obama with trying to change the law without consulting Congress, and Democrats said Republicans were raising the issue to help GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney after his widely criticized remarks about people on welfare. Nineteen Democrats voted for the resolution.

While the measure passed the House, the Obama administration’s change to the implementation of the welfare law will remain in effect until the Senate approves the resolution,

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
