Obama to use executive orders for immediate impact
via drudge, Nov 9, 5:10 PM (ET) By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER (AP):
WASHINGTON (AP) – President-elect Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.John Podesta, Obama’s transition chief, said Sunday Obama is reviewing President Bush’s executive orders on those issues and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such orders to move quickly on his own.
“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we’ll see the president do that,” Podesta said. “I think that he feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off the course that the Bush administration has set.”
the opening statutory words of the US constitution obama has already sworn to support:
Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
article:
Presidents long have used executive orders to impose policy and set priorities.
i smell lapdog in the air. you?
The perversion of the U.S. Constitution:
“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.”
–Clinton presidential aide Paul Begala, July 1998
back to the article, for this sinister bit of tyranny and outright bullshit fobbed off as all but:
“It’s going to be a cheerful opposition,” said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. “We’re going to carry those timeless principles of limited government, a strong defense, traditional values, to the American people.”
oh yes. timeless rhetoric, leading to timeless execution of the opposite of that espoused by the rhetoric. the “opposition” should be cheerful, since it’s a facade. they all eat at the same table, and never forget it.
