Call it for what it is, "we don´t have a king or a dictator in America".

GOP needs to stop holding back.

Do you know why Democrats say "they´re fighting for..." Because people want to feel you care and are fighting for them.

I am not amazed at the "courage" these people have to propose anything. 3rd world dictators and terrorists have all kinds of "courage" - and yes, I said terrorist - these people are here to destroy my country and they are as dangerous as any terrorist that would strap a bomb to his/her body - they want to kill America!

Uh, He is my senator here in Houston, not San Antonio.

´I won´ is back, BIG TIME.

Chairman Zero wants more power.....

Obama is just as eager to assume totalitarian powers and turn America back to 7th-century despotism as his friend Mohamed Morsi is attempting to do in Egypt.

But what are we doing about it? While anti-Morsi Egyptians are fighting tyranny in the streets, our democracy is still strong enough to allow our anti-Obama forces in Washington to fight back by laughing and decrying Obama´s ´´crazy´´ statements.

But how long will that work, especially if our Republican leaders in Congress do not have the courage to speak out forcefully themselves but instead stand back while a rank-and-file Republican like John Cornyn is left to make the Republicans´ case?

John Boehner and Mitch McConnell should either be leading the fight or stepping aside so that the John Cornyns in Congress can provide the leadership the Republicans have been lacking.

Hey. This sounds like a great idea. Like giving tequila and car keys to teenagers. Teenaged alcoholics. What could possibly go wrong.

You know, if you think about it, Obama has personally spent more money than anyone in history. And he wants the unrestricted authority to raise the debt ceiling any time he feels like it?

That gives me pause.

#3. As one of two United States senators from Texas, along with Ted Cruz, Cornyn represents all of Texas. He was born in Houston. His father was an Air Force officer and he was raised mostly in San Antonio, where he went to high school as well as college and law school. His current Texas residence is in Austin.

# 3 - Cornyn hails from San Antonio and represents the Eastern half of Texas. Looking foward to watching Ted Cruz after swearing in on Jan. 3.

Re #3, he was born in Houston. Lives in San Antonio according to this:

Thanks, Captain Obvious. Having done a dismal job of choosing Senatorial candidates for the last two election cycles, having failed to give Rick Perry any support whatsoever in his Presidential bid, and having been practically invisible during Mitt Romney´s campaign, Senator Cornyn finds a microphone and boldl yproclaims Obama´s idea "outrageous". The Great State of Texas deserves better.

Instead of flailing their lips, lets see them do something about it

Geez, did i get the part right that he is my Senator in Houston?

#9 is off target. I´m not sure what "represents the Eastern half of Texas" means. East Texas is more conservative than any other section of the nation. Obviously, Senator Cornyn got those votes as well as the votes of more liberal Central Texas and laid-back cowboy country of West Texas. He´s a good man and was a fine Texas Supreme Court Justice before being elected to Washington.

As for Ted Cruz, we´ll see about him. He disappointed a lot of us when, after his election, he instantly trashed Mitt Romney.

Geithner had "courage?" More like "gall." I agree with above posters that senators should start verbally stating that our constitution allows for a president, not a dictator. Poster #7 has some good "sound bite" language that they could use.

I´m with 14. I was disappointed in Cruz when I heard not just the criticism of Romney but the crudeness in the way he expressed himself.

As far as Cornyn;s use of "courage" instead of "gall", why is that important? Only weak people think that strong language is evidence of strength.

Here comes the biggest power grab since Roosevelt crammed social security down America´s throat. This guy Øbama is about to declare himself "God All High, Protector of the Realm" unilaterally- look for a "temporary" dissolution of congress and a unilateral declaration of "Emergency Powers" enfolded within the sole office of the President.

Obama won´t be needing Congress. He will print money without any check. King Obama or is it God Obama?

Back when I used to have credit cards, in order to have my debt limit increased involved me calling and asking MasterCard or VISA and I would get a yea or a nay. Regarding our national debt ceiling, has anyone called China?

What surprises me is that Barry didn´t propose to wipe out congress totally, leaving him as complete despot and thug ruling over the country.
