Why is he asking? Why not just take the authority and go against the constitution like he has been doing?
More authority? Aren’t you king already? WTF do you need with more authority when you’ve been ruling by FIAT already?
“The same authority every business owner…”
He will never understand the United States of Anerica is not a business.
What’s up with mosque curtains in the backdrop..??
Obama sez unlimited powers will only be used “to make the government leaner” that he grew by 50%. If you don’t believe him you are a racist.
It is Congress’s job to pass a federal budget which are still waiting for 1,000 days later as well as monitor and review how those monies are being spent not the President. Why doesn’t he work on his own WH budget and cut WH spending which is his area alone. SHOW ME WHERE ALL THE WH MONEY WENT NOW!!
What authority is he referring to.
‘But don’t worry, he says he will “only use it to make the government leaner.”’
By leaner, do you mean eliminate those portions of the government standing in your way? Like the Congress, the military and the Constitution?
On the surface what he proposes sounds really good, which is why it is so so so suspect.
Of course, since the partisan repubs will not do this, he will be forced to go it on his own and assume this added mantle of responsiblity and bear the burden for us,,,
Why does he need more authority? He’s leaving the office at the end of the year.
I say we give him—wait for it—-the FINGER.
Boehner last seen furiously trying to cobble together the legislation necessary for his “massa” to have what he wants.
The American Government’s credo; “Nothing’s too good for the people, and that’s exactly what they’re going to get”.
Not only a power grab but a strong position where the expected NO will be used against the GOP. Stay tuned…
Regulate Obama!
This was probably Boners idea
Meesa propose that the Senate grant immediately emergency powers to the Supreme Chancellor.
IF the Rs had our backs they would say, sure, so long as EPA goes first. Biggest obstruction to commerce and liberty.
ZeroHedge’s take on Marxist Barry’s latest power grab:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/ftmfw-quote-day
What, if any, mechanisms are in place to “check” a lame duck President who loses his bid for a 2nd term?
From early November to January 20th, a criminal President could theoretically do a LOT of damage – and who’s to stop him?
You know, there’s a very good reason that on most jobs, employees who are terminated – even if they’re just being laid off and not fired for “cause”- are immediately escorted from the premesis.
I suppose the Founding Fathers thought that anyone who became President would play by all the rules…
But then, we have Obama…
The same power that any business leader has?
But the American people are not employees of the American government. Government has no right to issue orders in the same manner as a business leader.
The government is in fact IN SERVICE OF the American people.
Did hitler and stalin start off like this?
By leaner, he undoubtedly means getting rid of ICE and the military.
For the past three years,I feel like I have been in the middle of a marathon run of the Twilight Zone..Wake me up when it is all over,if it continues after November 2012,let me sleep in mindless slumber into eternity.
@Spurwing Plover
EXACTLY! And their ultimate power became the tyranical, maniacle blood letting history (not taught in school now) recorded. Anyone for this plan, should just put a loaded pistol in their mouths and pull the trigger now.
The American government’s credo; “Nothing’s too good for the people, and that’s exactly what they’re going to get”.
How soon until Boehner and Republicans give him the go ahead?
I say by Tuesday of next week… and that’s only beacuse the Federal Government will be closed for MLK Day on Monday.
It’s the same principle as eating more calories to get thinner.
Excellent point VT
logan51498 – ditto
Ever wonder what the base word for Executive is…………………?
Execute……that sounds like a great idea.
@Zoltanne:
Too true. Ubama says do as I demand or I’ll call you bad names.
BHO now wants more power to make the bloated government leaner. This from he, who added 25000 additional government employees in the last three years. Now he wants the power to make it smaller by what number. I would suspect it won’t be by 25000. Sickening, disgusting con man.
ZeroHedge says he sounds like Adolf. The comments over there are spot on.

January 13, 2012 at 12:19 pm
what makes you think he’s leaving even if he loses?
@a former dem — saw those comments. All The Dark Lord is missing is the ‘stash now.
Why is he focusing on Commerce? Ideas?
someone at ZeroHedge posted this, ***shivers***
============================================
Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation
The Reichstag has enacted the following law, which is hereby proclaimed with the assent of the Reichsrat, it having been established that the requirements for a constitutional amendment have been fulfilled:
Article 1
In addition to the procedure prescribed by the constitution, laws of the Reich may also be enacted by the government of the Reich. This includes the laws referred to by Articles 85 Paragraph 2 and Article 87 of the constitution.[2]
Article 2
Laws enacted by the government of the Reich may deviate from the constitution as long as they do not affect the institutions of the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. The rights of the President remain undisturbed.
Article 3
Laws enacted by the Reich government shall be issued by the Chancellor and announced in the Reich Gazette. They shall take effect on the day following the announcement, unless they prescribe a different date. Articles 68 to 77 of the Constitution do not apply to laws enacted by the Reich government.
Article 4
Treaties of the Reich with foreign states which affect matters of Reich legislation shall not require the approval of the bodies of the legislature. The government of the Reich shall issue the regulations required for the execution of such treaties.
Article 5
This law takes effect with the day of its proclamation. It loses force on 1 April 1937 or if the present Reich government is replaced by another.
If the pretender in chief gets away with this there will be no election! We are in deep s$&t if congress does not have the ability to slow this bozo down!
No doubt Mark Levin will discuss this tonight
VT – I think he’s doing it this way to make it sound helpful and a really great thing. But an email I just got said, what’s next? Dream Act signed though on his own? What else would he like to do without having to go though congress?
He’s like the pedophile in priest’s attire saying anything to get what he wants.
Or it is a re-election ploy to make him appear right of far left.
When he gets cong ok and wins the election (cough cough bullsheet) then we’re in for it. Yeah, makes sense. The mind of a commie.
More money and more power.
Where are the idiotic leftist civil rights and privacy rights idiots who howeled when they even thought Bush was going to take away their right to privacy and set up a “theocracy”? Now they’re completely mute and are even encouraging this illegal alien to grab more power…
Where the hell is the SCOTUS????????????
Now he wants authority to consolidate federal agencies and centralize powers:
http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com/?p=35227
Even if congress has the wisdom and guts to stand up against this latest blatant power grab, what’s to stop Obama from simply going around them and centralizing his powers by Executive order? He’s already proven he’s more than capable of it, and congress so far has been impotent to stop him. This is a very dangerous turn for our constitutional republic!
This must be what a bad LSD trip is like…. when the dumbasses that voted for this got got him in there I had to pace myself, knowing what was coming, but never EVER imagining that there wouldn’t be some form of check against him after two years and one of the houses went back to the right. BUT, Noooooooooooo…. that would entail the rule of law actually being followed instead of dismantled.
This is a country with THREE branches, not one. Where is the budget? Where are the courts? Where are the term limits?
The Great Uniter, my ass. Not from where I sit.
VOTE – 2012
He’s scary. That little speech sent shivers down my spine.
No way, Husseini..
For those who worry about him hanging around around the election, win or lose;
If he values his neck he will drop out of sight ASAP.
We still have at least 70 million people willing to take back our country.
@CS_GUY……maybe even more. NO KINGS OR EMPERORS here. This is the PEOPLES United States of America. Oboma is a traitor and should be tride and imprisoned for his crimes against the people and the constitution.
When the treason is that blatant, I let it be verbalized and said F. U.
Anyone that gives this communist Hilter style scumbag that authority MUST be kicked out of office NOW!!!
On the surface it sounds reasonable, but we know he’s a liar and a socialist/communist who wants to transform our republic into an easy target for our enemies.
Eat shit and die Obama.
Anyone But Obama 2012
I promise! really, I mean it this time!
Hey somebody better be keeping an eye on the reichstag!!!!!! HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER!!!
As some are beginning t orealize, Obama will be at his most dangerous when he has lost the election and has 9 weeks of lame duck power.
This blog lists some of the dangerous things he can contemplate and d owithout legal recourse to stop him.
http://morganjohnsonjr.blogspot.com/2012/01/scorched-earth.html
And do something Obama hates more than this country; get down on our collective knees and pray to the LORD above that his efforts fail – that One Nation Under GOD shall not perish from the Earth.
***************************************************************************
To that we collectively say: AMEN.
