In this week’s address, President Obama says 2014 will be a year of action, and called on both parties to help make this a breakthrough year for the United States by bringing back more good jobs and expanding opportunities for the middle class.

Wait a second.  Listen to that again.  The President says that if congress will not act on these initiatives, he will act on them himself without them?  Exactly how is that constitutional?  Did he all of a sudden become supreme dictator?  You have to ask the question.  Also, he states it very clearly that we are not at all dependent on foreign oil, so exactly why are gas prices so high?  What he does not tell you is we are the world's largest exporter of oil and have been for years.  So why are our oil prices pegged to foreign oil when we do not even use foreign oil?  Anyone finding anything wrong with these statements?
