White House Aide Say Obama Might Move His Agenda Forward Using Executive Orders…

The wannabe Dictator-in-Chief.
(Roll Call) — “You should pass this jobs plan right away.”
If only it were that easy for President Barack Obama to get Congress to implement his agenda.
Many of Obama’s priorities have sputtered and stalled, and the president blames gridlock in Washington for the lack of progress that voters might hold over his head come next November. But the White House has signaled it is willing to use other options such as executive orders, administrative action at the agency level and a review of regulations to implement the president’s wishes without Congress on board.
In recent weeks Obama has exerted his executive authority on issues ranging from education to housing policy to the environment.
Obama signed an executive order granting a waiver for states wanting to opt out of No Child Left Behind. It’s a move backed by even GOP governors, and one that has broad support in Congress. But nothing happened legislatively, so the White House took matters into its own hands.
Obama overruled his Environmental Protection Agency by repealing an ozone regulation, and he’s commissioned Cass Sunstein, head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, to identify other regulations that can be tweaked or rolled back to save the government money or to relieve pressure on the lagging economy.
The administration also implemented several policies related to mortgage assistance and housing without Congressional action.
Will the American people see the president bypassing Congress more frequently?
“It’s possible,” a top White House aide told Roll Call.

The continued existence of the Liberal movement now depends on the actions of Barack Obama.
If he decides to sucker-punch the nation, he better make sure that it’s a fight he can win. Shame on him if he fails.
.
O f course he will. The ends justify the the means with the self righteous.
Checks and balances?
King Barack.
In his dreams.
Heaven help us.
goodness knows, congress doesn’t.
There absolutely must come a time when the big word Impeachment is said, outloud. It should never be allowed, nor condoned, for any branch of government to bypass or usurp the authority of another branch.
Jeesh, the next potus will be revoking commie executive orders for 2 months.
How can he get away with something like that?
Doesn’t all Money have to be approved through Congress?
If he does this can we impeach him??
I don’t understand what makes him think he is the King of the World and our checks and balance system set up by our Founding Fathers no longer relate to his happy ass.
I know it’s been said about 14 trillions times,but if Bush would have tried this stunt he would have been drug out of the White House and hung on the front lawn.
Someone help me out here.. can we stop this?
Hasn’t he sort of been doing that all along? Would be nice if Congress took notice and then took steps to stop him, but I doubt they will.
There should be more specific circumstances for being able to use executive order and it should be extremely limited. He is becoming a dictator and no one is stopping him.
Roll back and stop the work permits for 300,000 illegals.
@vagabond trader
and then an Executive Order creating a Department of Internal Affairs separate from all three branches with its body made up of agents from the States Appointed by the governors of those states. Or something like that so people like Obama can’t do what he’s doing with the FBI right now!!
Good! Let Obama take 100% responsibility for this joke he’s proposing.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this move, after all he is going around everyone on this back door amnesty shit.
The Dictator lives? Perhaps this is another reason why the founders only wanted natural born American citizen to be President.
There no dough this delusionary narcissistic fool really believes he is some sort of damn king.
And one more thing.. I fucking hate this piece of shit p-Resident.
The sky’s the limit at Barackingham Palace.
Don’t worry folks, Boehner will storm right into the Oval Office and tell Barack Huessain Obama his golf score.
That’ll show ‘em.
Taxation without representation.
Time to get the torches and pitchforks out
Beware the tyrant.
Hahahahhaaha—- Now you will bow your heads and give thanks to all mighty allah for blessing you bitter-clingers with my awesomely-awesomeness.

@whthfk
I have the same questions. I was under the impression congress could with-hold the funding, regardless of excutive order! EO’s are like checks to Obama.
Impeachment is a good word. So is coup.
hey folks. this is totally O/T
but i wanted to post this here.
EPA has declared hay a pollutant. keep stocking up on food and ammo.

White House > Out House
Strip him of any and all presidential responsibility.
Wife, Kids, Grandma and any other strap hangers can leave the premises, too

Will the American people see the president bypassing Congress more frequently?
“It’s possible,” a top White House aide told Roll Call.
I’d say he has been bypassing Congress and the will of the American people quite frequently since he took office.
dont pay any attention to that bill behind the curtain, just pass the damn bill,
This could turn the Tea Party into the Continental Army
The democrats do realize that these same procedures can be used against them, right? When the demos were trying to pass obamacare, Reid worried that Republicans might do the same thing to them if they regained power. The republicans should use the same tactics to undo everything the little bastard has passed, but not for new legislation.
More dicorial dictates from our elected dictator He needs to be voted out of office then out of america forever
How do I hate thee, let me count the ways…..
“The Wannabe-Dictator-in-Chief.”

Correction: “The Dictator in Chief”
Ditto, Joe. We’re past the stage of just “wannabe.”
minuteman26: “Impeachment is a good word. So is coup.”
I’d hate to see a coup — that is so totally un-American —
but I do hope that if Obama gets his wish of imposing martial law, a big enough chunk of our military will at least refuse to obey.
@fubar: Thank You for posting that link. It is informative & I was not aware of this from the EPA previously. As a common American citizen seeing this type of action is really concerning to me. I (along with a whole lot of other American’s) are no doubt wanting to be responsible about having clean water, air, food and such. But there gets to be that fine line that is crossed far too far & I tend to think this is an example. There are many aspects to this that concern me: #1) If this is supposedly being targeted toward the smaller establishments, which will eventually run them out of business, it puts our whole food safetly line in jeopardy. When processing plants are concentrated into just a few monstrosities this allows for a much easier target. #2) I already know of beef farmers opting out of the business because of increasing rules and restrictions. Which further passes increased costs to the consumers.
The agriculture community is being hit hard with all kinds of this type of thing. From dust control, to bovine gas emmisions, to this about hay….etc.
Again, as I stated earlier, I’m sure we all appreciate cleaner air, water, & things we consume. However, this is veering off into directions not at all sensible from my standpoint of view.
Strange how similar Hussein bin Obama is to Benito Mussolini..
‘Benito Mussolini was a narcissistic compulsive gambler, liar and womaniser. He craved action and adoration. His taste for adulation reflects his vain and melodramatic nature. His desire for an adrenaline rush quick fix explains his compulsions and his general violent behaviour. Unlike Hitler, he had little concern about the content and consistency of ideology. His political philosophy was merely a trampoline. The Italian nationalism echoed in the fascist doctrine was nothing but the exaltation of Mussolini’s cult. Il Duce was Italy. While Hitler was an abominable ogre, Mussolini was merely a monstrous peacock. ‘
http://www.gogilesgo.com/biographies/mussolini.htm
On the other hand, this past Christmas, I had watched a youtube vid about a hog industry (somewhere in one of the Southern States) that kept farrowing hogs in such terrible confined quarters for months at a time. I have not heard squat about the EPA having concerns of this. They are most likely a part of the whole deal allowing it!
When I saw those hogs so squished in tight confines all I could think was their cortisol levels are probably sky high (pigs can fly) so I think I would opt out of having any of those hogs for dinner.
There again, the smaller pig farmers and such can not maintain business because of increasing overhead costs & on & on. But a monolith hog business such as that one…well, who knows what all deals are under the table on that one. (?!?!?!?!?)
Additional comment: Direct to the topic- “You should pass this jobs plan right away”….
When there is less government intrusion jobs will happen. It isn’t the governments job to supply jobs.
Checks and balances, or Brass and lead. The only ways to stop this Tyrannical administration. I hope that there are enough oath keepers in the military in case is goes that far.
Marxist dictator………who would have thought he would actually steal the country by just signing his name.
With four hundred plus days until election, he must pay for the votes to even have a chance. This as the other two stimey-us bills had nothing to do with anything but payment for the votes given, this one is for re-election. As before, he will try anything he can to force this through. It’s kind of like the rise of the dictator ‘Hitler’ all over again… but I’ve been saying that for over two years…
Regulations by the appointed – vs – Legislation by the elected …
@ Bunker: “Department of Internal Affairs” At one time were the Senators. Sent by the States’ legislature, to see after and be that states voice in national government, and could be replaced by the same at any time … Senators hated that, so they wrote an amendment to the constitution, Amendment XVII (the progressives enter government) ratified April 8, 1913 … the constitution, it seems is nothing more than pen to parchment, these days…

That will just make your food much, much more expensive.
FWIW, I love the smell of freshly cut alfalfa.
His cronies want your money, he’s got his loyal socialist’s buds to feed monatarily of course. His last stimulus did absolutely nothing to create jobs, nor will this one aid the unemployed but I bet his foreign banking buddies are licking their lips in greed.
So, what’s the difference between government and armed thugs? Government claims a moral right to compel you by force. Thugs don’t pretend to be moral. Otherwise . . .
A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is by-passed.
Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
Without Congressional approval, the President now has the power to transfer whole populations to any part of the country, the power to suspend the Press and to force a national registration of all persons.
The President, in essence, has dictatorial powers never provided to him under the Constitution. The President has the power to suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in a real or perceived emergency.
Unlike Lincoln and Roosevelt, these powers are not derived from a wartime need, but from any crisis, domestic or foreign, hostile or economic. Roosevelt created extraordinary measures during the Great Depression, but any President faced with a similar, or lesser, economic crisis now has extraordinary powers to assume dictatorial status.
http://dmc.members.sonic.net/sentinel/gvcon5.html
Perhaps it can be summed up succinctly in the words of arch-conservative activist Howard J. Ruff….
“Since the enactment of Executive Order 11490, the only thing standing between us and dictatorship is the good character of the President, and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the public would stand still for it.”
==================================
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.

———–
They don’t seem able to think that far ahead. I have no doubt at all that they’ll try to raise a stink if Rubio or Jindal is chosen as the VP candidate. That whole splinter/beam in the eye thing doesn’t seem to compute for Democrats.
What do you expect? This is how a loser does business. If he can’t use good leadership skills and character (because he doesn’t have any), he resorts to using administrative force to get his way. Desperate times calling for desperate measures. Mr. “I won.” is doing what he does best. Can’t wait to to see him and Mooch thrown out of the White House in 2012. Would love to see him impeached before then.
Coup does sound a bit un American, but Revolution is 100% American!
He’s toast………..
Everything will be null and void Barry, come January of 2013, unless you are charged as an accessory to murder sooner. Has anyone heard if the weapon in the Nevada shooting has been tied to Fast and Furious yet?
Every department in and out of DC needs to have a thorough go through when these criminals are removed. That means every hard drive being checked, every email, and background checks on everyone, in and out of DC. We have to know where Soetoro placed the Muslim Brotherhood operatives, like the ones who set up the Navy Seals. We have to find out everything this guy has done, so he can be charged.
I say we have an executive order to end Abortion!!!!!
OHHhhh….
Please! Please! Please! Please!
DO IT! Please… This country really needs to rise up and cleanse out that toilet bowl called Washington DC., and what could be a better motivator than to have this miserable tyrant try to usurp all power here in America? Stop flapping your gums and let’s get this dance started! Totally sick and tired of all the innuendo, how about a little action you scrawny muzzie black queer.

Ok. I was having a conversation about this today. “conversation” is a nice way of saying “heated discussion”.
1. it will drive smaller farmers out of business, leaving way for the larger feedlots that treat their animals like shit, AND fill the Democratic coffers. we are being FUCKED, people. This is also going to stop people who raise their own animals, like my husband and I because we don’t trust all the hormones and crap that is fed to feedlot animals. Do some research, why do you think kids are reaching puberty at age 9 ?? the gvt does not want us to be self sufficient.
2. it’s none of gvt’s damn business. this is interference in FREE MARKETS.
3. this retarded mentality of “hay is a pollutant” should be shouted from every damn rooftop. HAY IS GRASS. SHUT THE FUCK UP EPA this is the same kind of mentality that gave us “we’ll tax farmers for the cows farting out methane”
4. HAy is combustible. when hay is stored IN A ENCLOSED SPACE with no air flow LIKE THEY ARE INDICATING IT BECOMES A FIRE HAZARD, if it is put away damp it will SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST.
@FWIW, I love the smell of freshly cut alfalfa
same here. if this is not stopped, beef will be $170/lb.

On the other hand, this past Christmas, I had watched a youtube vid about a hog industry (somewhere in one of the Southern States) that kept farrowing hogs in such terrible confined quarters for months at a time.
we personally know some farmers that have gone out of business from regulations. NOt just a handful. DOZENS. becuase their barns were not outfitted correctly and their pens were TOO BIG. yes. the retardeness of green weenie zealots dictating how animals should be raised when they have never done it THEMSELVES. i have to say that most “corporate farms” have managers that don’t give a shit. they go home after 8 hours. the small farmer has vested interest in keeping his animals healthy, well cared for. it’s what puts food on his table.
and don’t get me started on PETA with what they do to ambush farmers on tape supposedly “mistreating” their animals. makes me sick.
and you are completely correct about cortisol and what fear/stress do to the quality of meat.
@fubar- I am pleased to have made aquaintence. I appreciate the candor and the passion on the subject you speak of, because you see it so evidently! With so much of the USA citizenry in the larger cities I am concerned that they are left not alert about what is SO FAST happening in the agricultural community.
Yes, the PETA situation, grrrrrrr. Sure I speak of concern of the critters simply because of having been raised on a farm.
PETA seems in the same boat as where EPA and so many of these others are headed.
Thanks Again for your sounding the alert! Much appreciated.
…oh, ya, another comment for fubar-
and what about all the racket of the RFIDs? So everyone has to tag their hens, geese, old Daisy, the lop rabbit……..? What-in-the-world?!?!?!?!?
@hickhayseed
backatcha!!!!!!!
RFID’s? you mean the tagging ID system that they were trying to implement a few years ago?
that has been scratched; for the moment, anyway. that’s because of the HUGE public outcry, which is why I posted that tidbit about the EPA’s dust ban here.. This is another example of finding a crisis and a supposed “solution” that ends up costing everyone in the long run. (as well as being absurd)

http://nonais.org/
the ramifications of this are incredible. the threat to our freedoms, and the blatently obvious attempt at destruction of our independence is revolting! I can’t believe not everyone can see it.

here are other complaints about EPA’s overreach, we need to get this word out, becuase I believe we can change things. no one wants to be the one to stick their neck out first..
http://ocj.com/countrylife/epa-regulations-on-dust-would-overstep-boundaries/
Hitler and Stalin must be so proud of Obama
Another angle being used is property valuation. We own 40 acres. Just received a notice from IRS that we owed $1500. No explanation, but threat to take our land in ten days if it wasn’t paid. My husband paid it. Never had our tax return questioned before.
Today got a letter from county auditor. Our home has been valued at $30,000 more than our previous valuation, even though no one in the area has been able to sell their home and homes in the area have dropped an average of 5-6%. The real kicker though… They increased the value of our cropland from approx $117,000 to $1,170,000! They’re trying to tax us off of our land.
The arrogance of this man is simply beyond explanation.
If he does this, he can’t blame Bush for his own Incompetence anymore. I say let him try and let History be the judge of him. Even though he is by-passing Congress, there is still the matter of the Supreme Court to Deal with. (Remember the 3rd Branch of our 3 Branches of the Government?). I have a feeling that Justice Clearance Thomas and the other 3 Conservatives will let Obama have just enough Rope to hang himself and will then get involved to stop him once and for all. Granted, I am getting upset that there has been NO Word from them except for Clearance Thomas stating that They will NOT touch Obama’s Eligibility.
Sorry, Meant to say the other 4 Conservative Supreme Court Justices.
Off topic but on the photo: In this picture, Ocrap is sitting in an American Airlines seat. He don’t fly no stinkin’ commercial airline!
@PJ what state do you live in? That’s terrible!
@PJ
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this part of “sustainable development” ?
(property values only increase when it suits THEM. we are trying to get aloan for an addition to our business, but they are saying the cost of building it, is too much more then the value that it adds. It’s focking ridiculous)
btw, that Agenda 21 is in full force in Lincoln, NB from what i’ve been reading.
Thanks Fubar for clarifying about the RFIDs. I am behind on that news. Thanks also to you and many others here that have posted excellent links! Thanks Rob for all that info, too! A person begins to gather mass of thought just how malignant this Administration is and the far reaching implications.
For example- under those EO’s about the drug crisis, I was thinking how “convenient” the illegal immigration and the Drug Cartel problems on the Southern Border could play so easily into an EO! (so on & so forth- As Mark Levin uses that term)
@PJ- Just unreal! That is just …sickening. Does it have to do with Imminent Domain Property? Is there a developer wanting your land & that is why?
Good Gads…it’s all unraveling faster than a train over a cliff!
He’s laundering money through the Dept. of Energy with Solyndra. He’s sold AK-47′s to the drug cartels using “Stimulus” money. He did this so they invade America and kill people. He will be removed from office if he attempts this.
@hickhayseed
the really disgusting part about the RFID’s? the sheer nonsense of them.
Food contamination almost ALWAYS is at the processing level, not the production level. the institution of an animal ID program does nothing towards “food safety”
it’s just another ploy to create another bureacracy.
why should producers who are already stressed from risings costs be expected to bear the burden for food safety when it’s the USDA that does nto do it’s job in inspections at the processing level.
(not to mention the freedom loss part of having animals)
the mad cow scare of the 90′s (?) was a typical example. BSE is spread thru feeding practices. those practices are banned in the U.S. those cows that had that disease ALL CAME FROM CANADA. my thoughts? ban importation of cows from CN if they continue those feeding practices. the argument that BSE can remain dormant for 20 yrs is valid. HOWEVER. at the inspection level of processing make sure that the infected parts (brain and spinal cord) DO NOT TOUCH OTHER CUTS OF MEAT. (becuase heat does not kill this prion that causes Jakob’s Crutchfeldt disease in humans.)
as far as e.coli infections that you hear about so much?
my suggestions? Don’t import from MeX. they have questionable fertilizer use (i.e. human waste). Inspect heavily at the processing level. this is where contamination occurs. or in trucking.
there are hundreds of e.coli variants in nature, it’s only a handful that cause disease or illness. (actually one variant that is really serious). so we should turn the entire industry on it’s head over this small fraction that MIGHT get infected?
typical government non thinking retardedness.
oh. and we stil have to keep our eyes on this. be vigiliant in watching the bastards.
i regularly monitor incoming bills in the House becuase they are CONSTANTLy proposing things that effect free marketing of food, and our producers.
almost ALWAYS affecting the small guy.
