If it was just a Thelma and Louise act,  well it was a bad movie but harmless enough, but driving the nation off the cliff is what the real life partnership has been steering for.

Spree of Obama actions revives GOP concerns over midnight regs agenda

 “Congress can rescind regulations when it gets back, using the CRA, but the House and Senate will be working on health care, the economy and infrastructure,” Batkins told FoxNews.com. “Congress has a lot on its plate. Of the 100 or more midnight regulations that could fly through, there probably won’t be more than a dozen they would be interested in repealing.”

Asked at a November press conference about GOP calls to hold off on finalizing rules in his final weeks in office, Obama defended their rulemaking pace: “The regulations that we have issued are ones that we’ve been working on for a very long time. … These aren’t things that we’ve been surprising people with.”

No doubt Obama has had these rules on his agenda, like putting the coal industry out of business is not the same as a color code on a food label.  Any good ones can wait.
