Obama Making Plans to Use Executive Power
« on: February 16, 2010, 09:26:09 PM »
"WASHINGTON — With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities." http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/us/politics/13obama.html

Oh goody! I wonder what sorts of executive orders we'll see now unchecked and unbalanced by the legislative or judicial branches? With good ole Rahm writing them, this ought to be interesting.

GW Bush wasn't actually a shrinking violet when it came to using executive orders. It's a common procedure that is relatively easy for the next president to un-do.

Since BO can't persuade people to do the things he wants, he is increasingly doing what can be done unilaterally. That tactic will work for a while, but then he will be increasingly challenged for over-using it.

I guess EO's are a tool of the trade, so to speak. I'm thinking its a way to get around some of the checks and balances of power. If you look up candidates that need checks and balances to keep them in check in the websters dictionary youll see a little thunmbnail of BHO there! Several things are gonna happen I'm sure, and none of em are gonna be good,..........for us!

There is a difference in EO's that will sit around idle until needed. Or to appoint someone to a posistion that will leave with the prez.
But what bozo has in mind is to legislate from his posistion in such a way, that it will be wrapped through the states and will be hard for anyone to undo.
This will not be just an EO. This will be devastating.
All his minions and puppet masters are to close. They lied, deceived, been rejected and now they stand at the gate like hogs at the trough. While we slept, they crafted.
They paid millions to get the boob in, now they have billions coming. The very industry and soul of this nation is almost in their hands.
They have their eye on him. He is scared and confused, the teleprompter is no longer a strength, its magic has waned. The words from high yellow lips that once inspired an ignorant electrate now run off the backs of an awakened people like water off a duck. Congress, brusied and naked, ignores. Those same words now fall at the feet of those in charge and break like glass.
 His orders have been issued and he must not dissapoint.
If any man or woman thinks this is for the weak, sick, poor people, (which this admin hates) you are a fool of the weakest mind.

But I don't think BHO as come close to his predecessors.

But he has done his in a year, most took 8 years to compile their stats.

Either way EO's aint a good thing from whomever! I still think its a way to circumvent Balance of power and checks and balances!

The EO's bozo is looking at will not be what has been seen in the past. These will carry the deceitful anger of the socialist left. Crafted in the very embrace of evil lies.

Well, President Obama is the chief executive. He's there because he won a free election - and unlike George W. Bush in 2000, President Obama got a majority of the votes cast. Of course he's gonna use the power of his office.

Like the catholic uses the Virgin Mary, and saints, to bypass Christ and the Cross, the President uses the EO, to bypass the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

come now, Dee... after years as a Bob Jones, John R. Rice-type of fundamentalist, I'm getting ever closer to Rome for various reasons. Yours is a pointed generalization and an old one, but isn't quite true.

My concern is not that he is the executive, nor that he can issue executive orders. And TM7's list doesn't dilute my concern at all, it reenforces it in fact. We have an executive who has stated that BECAUSE of the difficulties he has had working with Congress over this last year (I thought checks and balances were a good thing), he is NOW going to attempt to accomplish his agenda via the EO process. And he stands on the shoulders of generations of executives who have also used that tool as a means to circumvent opposition.

If you happen to like the way the executive du jour thinks, then its not a problem. I don't like the way this one thinks, and I'm not certain anyone truly knows the limits of an EO. I would not put it past him to set some precedent in the range and sweep of his EOs. I would also not put it past him to work in conjunction with other precedents to ensure the permanence or at least longevity of his EOs, versus those of this predecessors.

Yelllowtale3      He should use the power of his office: To support the Constitution, prop up the truth and what is right. If you looked with honest intent, you would know that. I am not telling you anything that most Americans dont already know. We both know he will not.
What he has in mind is not what was intended by the Constitution or people.
     As far being a pennalite, dont really know what that is but I have it covered. I have been in jail and I have also worked as a correctional officer. knowing what both sides look like, yes his admin is worse. Your point was?

That is all true.

I don't get people trying to compare the # of EO's that Obama has done compared to Bush, Clinton or any other Pres. that has been in office 4 yrs or esp. 8 years with this one being in 1 year. I have no doubt BHO EO's will out do all previous admin., esp. now that he see's his Congress puppets falling by the wayside, he will really get busy.

Maybe depends on what emergency gets created, errr comes along. Then the EO and the 'regs' written from executive departments come along as well ...
