Rahm it through using executive power

A New York Times report says: With much of the Obama legislative agenda stalled in Congress he and his handlers are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.

In the aftermath of a special election in Massachusetts that cost Democrats unilateral control of the Senate, the White House is getting ready to act on its own in the face of partisan gridlock heading into the midterm campaign.

“We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff.
