President Barack Obama's agenda, particularly involving legislative proposals like his ambitious "Buffett Rule" tax plan, has been stunted by a polarized Congress now toiling in gridlock. Consequently, the White House is resorting to its purported "executive authority" -- specifically, by issuing a flurry of new executive orders.
On Monday, for example, Obama issued an executive order that would grant U.S. officials the authority to decree sanctions on foreign nationals who have used internet tracking and cellphone monitoring -- among other technologies -- to perform human-rights abuses.
Furthermore, the White House released another executive order earlier this month that would establish an oversight group consisting of 12 federal agencies charged with supporting "safe and responsible unconventional domestic natural gas development."
One more executive order -- entitled, "National Defense Resources Preparedness" -- quietly issued on March 16, granted unprecedented power to the president to control "critical resource and production sources," including energy production. In effect, this insatiable product of Obama's "We Can't Wait" campaign granted the president unbounded authority to seize control of all U.S. resources as long as his intention is "to promote the national defense" -- an obscure maxim that bolsters countless meanings.
All in all, the White House's agenda is clear. "I refuse to take 'no' for an answer," Obama professed in a speech carried out earlier this year. "When Congress refuses to act and -- as a result -- hurts our economy and puts people at risk, I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them.".....snip~

Behold.....the Liar and Deciever. We know Presidents issue Executive orders. But none in the History of this Government have we given Power for the President to Contol the Critical and Production Resources of this Country. What the hell is Congress doing to not notice this :bull$#@!:
I am tired of this fricken excuse that Everything is Under National Security and therefore the reason to do it. This shiznit has to stop. Left or right. Both parties need to be stopped from doing this. What a crock of $#@! the President is stirring up.
Not to mention having 12 Federal agencies charged with supporting "safe and responsible unconventional domestic natural gas development.".....:wtf20: I will bet that they didn't figure in these costs especially since Obama went via Executive order. Even more money wasted. Just how are they to support. What does this all entail. Don't you just luv that vague descripiton and word chosen Oh so carefully.
This guy is no doubt making a grab for power. We should call his azz before Congress and the American People. You would think even the Left would be appalled with this crap. Hell if he can go on Late Night talk shows so he can get attacks off on the Right while playing that DNC Comedy Game. He should have to address this Nation over this. Where was the MS Media to release and report on those Orders in Consecutive days?
