Government Accountability Office: Obama Broke The Law With Welfare Waivers

 Its not the first time obama has broke the law to further his agenda ( amnesty to 1.2 million ILLEGALS )  and I suspect it won't be the last. What is perhaps more concerning is the MSM absolute pass on this story.

Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal

by Warner Todd Huston 9 Sep 2012,

On Sept. 4, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a startling assertion saying that Obama circumvented the law when he summarily waived the work requirements in the welfare law. Perhaps not as shocking, few news outlets seem interested in the story.

In its Sept. 4 letter, the GAO found that Health and Human Services (HHS) should have formally submitted a letter of its intent to make the changes to Congress and the Comptroller General before any waivers can be legally issued.
The letter also said that the GAO had not determined if HHS had the legal right to even make such waivers available. The GAO is basically saying that the Obama administration is breaking the law with its waivers.
But, according to a review of the shocking news of the GAO's determination, neither CNN, nor CBS, nor ABC have bothered to report the story.
For their part, Republicans and GOP nominee Mitt Romney have maintained that Obama's gutting of the work requirements in the welfare law was an illicit move.
Former U.S. Representative Ron Haskins, who helped pass the work requirements back in 1996, feels that Obama acted improperly by summarily changing the rules without going through Congress saying, "But [HHS] didn’t even consult with the Republicans. They knew the spirit of the law, and they violated that."
