Eh, the President has been strongarming with the Executive branch? On what issue other than the war? When each President (yes, every one) is basically being elected because of promisd tax cuts to "the middle class", these tax cuts are being made, and the Federal Government is just giving less and less money to the states.
And can I ask when that question was asked on that show? Was it before or after the new Presidential speech? And did he veto the law or repeal it? Cause I've never known a President to repeal any law.

Well for one thing, Maybe the people in LA are saying it was the mayors fault, and I don't absolve him from blame, but when you are the president of the united states, and you visit Florida right after all 4 hurricanes during an election year, and then wait 3 days before you visit one in LA because you're on vacation and you don't want it interupted. Theres no other word for that than assanine. Considering he's nearing the most vacation time ever taken by a president (and he has 3 years left)
Everyone else in the country was crucifying him for his lack of action, its gross and it shouldn't be done. From what I understand, bodies are being left out to rot, people are dying of starvation, and families that are rescued are being relocated to diffrent places, so families don't know if their children are alive or dead.
Again negligent on behalf of everyone involved. And when you appoint Micheal Browning as head of FEMA, you are to blame for his failure, when you knew he was unqualified.
As to which issues is he strong arming? Again I'll hold you as intentionally blind. Terri Shivo, ***-Marrige Amendment, Abortion; these are all issues that should be states rights, and they continually do what they want, not what the people of a state want. And presidents can repeal laws, Keyoto accord, tons of enviornmental laws have been repealed. I suppose you wouldn't notice if you like what he's doing.
And by the way, except for maybe Virgina and Texas, most red states can't support themselves, they don't make enough money, I live in MA, who gives (in ratio) a dollar to the fed and we get back like 73 cents, where as Kentucky gives a buck and gets 1.50 back. Most red states feel the money goes to welfare recipeants, and its just not the case. But Tax cuts are not a selling issue with presidents. And the middle has seen (comparitivly) no tax cuts in the last 5 years.
