Obama to Sign Executive Order Against “Dumb” Government Regulations That He Enacted…
I’m confused, all of a sudden he’s against government regulations?
(ABC News) — President Obama today will sign an executive order to make clear the operating principle of the US government is to strike the right balance with regulations, neither “placing unreasonable burdens on business-burdens that have stifled innovation and have had a chilling effect on growth and jobs” nor failing to “protect the public interest.”
The president made the announcement in an oped in the conservative opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, in yet another sign his move may be based in part in moving towards the political center (or at least being perceived as doing so.)
The administration, the president writes, is “making it our mission to root out regulations that conflict, that are not worth the cost, or that are just plain dumb.”

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” – Alice
Taqqiya — until the next election.
You could tell me that this is good for the people and I would be skeptical.I’m at the point where I don’t believe anything out of this man’s mouth.I am convinced that everything Obama does is for the betterment of his party and the progressive agenda.
Obama must have been reading John “I was for it before I was against it” Kerry.
On a disturbing note, his RCP averages are way up. In other words, people are falling for his shit.
@bitterclinger, that was the exact word that came to my mind too… al taqqiya
If this liar-in-chief doesn’t make you feel sick check out Drudge’s leading picture today. It has the Bower-in-chief bowing to Hu, China’s leader. Have you ever noticed that when Obama speaks to the American public his chin is jutting out like he dares anyone to disaggree with what he is saying. He is our dominate leader and we are beneath him. Every other leader in the world is his superior and he bows to them. Sometimes I feel like the soldiers of a surrendering army must feel when they see their leader hand over his sword to the enemy.
I smell tyranny… maybe I’m not understanding, but to me it sounds like he’ll make decisions on what regulations are good and what are bad… similar to the EPA power grab. Could I be wrong?
Sounds like he will stop the EPA from doing CO2 regs and help the repubs do away with Obama care!
I wont hold my breath. This SOB has a plan and he is doing it play by play. Every word out of this guys mouth is a lie, so why should I believe him now?
Trying to hide the fact that he is a Marxist asshole.
I see the work of Jim Daily.. don’t you?
Get rid og the regulations that stick out in public while running for re-election then sock it to them ,then take all control away again to become president for life.
Go back to playing golf and eating ice cream.
Lots of hot air comming out of his mouth yet no real substance, as usual..
Evil alien dickweed in the WH wants others to believe more BS and lies. Up yours!
Butt I want to help all my servants,I mean citizens.
Trust me?
Just another device to try and neuter the momentum and vigor of the new leadership and majority in Congress. Take away the issue and the opposition doesn’t have anything to shoot at (and yes, I insistently continue to use violent analogies).
Also it gives him the “Well, I am acting in a compromising bipartisan manner, but the mean old GOP isn’t.”
He’s in full campaign mode.
Key phrase, “protect the public interest.”
First define all the terms using the Marxist dictionary, and it’s clear where the priority is, and the effect it will have.
Looks like it’s going to be up to us to take out the trash … Duck and cover until then.
Everything Obama is all about lies.
Ohio…..Depends on what the meaning of “is” is?
More shit spewing from the democrap great leaders of this country.
What a dreadful, evil human being is Obama. This nonsense comes right after the EPA denied a coal mine permit in West Virginia even though they met all of the bullshit requirements, right after off shore oil drilling was banned on the West, East, and Gulf coasts, right after the EPA announced it would impose carbon regulations in an end run around Congress and the courts. In addition, his administration has larded the beauracracy with marxist czars whose stated belief is to destroy the captalist system. This is pure marxist playbook tatics. Repeat a lie often enough and people accept it for the truth.
“The truth remains hidden to those who willfully embrace deceit”.
What is especially infuriating is the people swallow this propaganda sewage and scream for more. We have become a nation of shit eaters.
Fox News is touting some poll that shows Obama’s approval rating is at 54%. How in the hell could anyone with even a half of a brain approve anything this enemy scumball of president is doing is mind boggling. We are doomed as a country as long as we have a marxist media in existence.
By the way a really big FU to all of the assholes who voted this clown into office.
Does that mean he will STOP the EPA from trying to run this nation by unelected burecrats making rules that make no sense?
Will he stop the FCC from trying to reinvent and run the internet?
etc.
First Paycheck of 2011 and my FEDERAL WITHHOLDING increased 47%!! A 47% increase and there was all this talk about keeping the “Bush Tax cuts” in place! Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
last part of his article:
WHO wrote this. He has SAID that economy IS a zero sum game. Its on video, more than once!
This is the lesson of our history: Our economy is not a zero-sum game. Regulations do have costs; often, as a country, we have to make tough decisions about whether those costs are necessary. But what is clear is that we can strike the right balance. We can make our economy stronger and more competitive, while meeting our fundamental responsibilities to one another.
Under what authority does the executive have the power to eliminate regulations at all, let alone selectively for his “special” friends? Legislation is the purview of Congress under their constitutional mandate.
This is either another power grab or an empty platitude to calm the braindead while he continues to do whatever he can get away with.
“Given the daunting challenges that we face, it’s important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one.” – Valerie Jarrett to Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press, November 2008
PUT THE CRACK PIPE DOWN!
So Obama wants a review of regulation but a byproduct of that might be more regulation. Anyone feeling like a bet as to which way that will go? Remember, that ObamaCare thing that was all about new regulation.

Regulation is a means to control.
They don’t make ‘em any phonier than this man…he knows full well what’s coming down the pike starting today in congress.
He wanted all these regulations…they are going to be taken away- the table going to be set for what we can do this term and for what we will do in ’13.
Here’s a perfect example of what I was meaning in my post above ~

Under no circumstances can he be trusted….EVER!!!
I can’t believe I feel compelled to say this on this site,but here goes:
OBAMA IS A LIAR.A SELF-SERVING OPPORTUNIST. A FIRST RATE TYRANT WHO CAN NEVER,EVER BE TRUSTED…..NO,NEVER!!!!!!!!
Understood?
It’s too late to save his second term.
He doesn’t want us shutting down the EPA. (Long overdue)
The regulations need to stop. The dept of labor needs to quit giving money away. The president needs to quit giving money away.
Bornfree:
You said it… And I’ll 2nd it.
And I will say it again: OBAMA IS A LIAR.A SELF-SERVING OPPORTUNIST. A FIRST RATE TYRANT WHO CAN NEVER,EVER BE TRUSTED…..NO,NEVER!!!!!!!!
VN Vet……
Thank you!
In the picture,Obama in a remake of The Shining…..HERE’S BARRY!!!!
Do not listen to what he says, but watch what he does. The Federal Agencies regulations are killing this economy from coal mining, farming, oil production to banking.
