What does the order say?

It says "F*** YOU prole! Now get back to work and pay your taxes."

Hussein is admitting, by these executive orders, that HE COULD HAVE SIGNED THEM AT ANY TIME. BUT HE WAITED THREE YEARS TO DO IT. WHY?

The answer is easy: they're not anything except a campaign tool. Executive Orders are DONE ANYTIME. He isn't limited as to WHEN he can issue them.

If these are such DAMN fine ideas, Hussein didn't have to put them in legislation. He could have signed them the MOMENT he seized power in January of 2009.

Hussein is a hoax.

But he's always been, one way or another, the first syllable.

So, it looks like he isn’t doing anything.

Or is “speeding up” access to fed cash already available and creating a website that nobody will use considered doing something and going around Congress’ back?

This is nothing but trying to say “See? I am doing something.” It’s playing his base who is leaving his ass in droves.

Or am I reading this wrong?

Bush slowed them down and they are behind on their schedule.

We will now see just who Hussein really is.
No reason to pretend anymore.

They have most all their judges, union heads, media, etc. in place
so it will be easier to dick-tate now for real and steal the next election.

He’ll probably do a a Chevez.

FUNDING HAS TO ORIGINATE IN THE HOUSE!!! IT'S THE CONSTITUTION STUPID!

This Administration did away with that small provision quite a while back. How do you think the government is being funded right now? The fiscal year expired 28 days ago, and no new budget has been passed. Yet this Administration continues to borrow and spend as if there was still a budget in place. And the Republicans are doing nothing to stop it. Not a thing.

Article II, Section 1, US Constitution. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

Those are pertinent words behind the "Executive Power" practiced by Obama.

Please note that the word executive isn't capitalized in the Constitution.

More, from the Constitution in Article II, Section 3.

: He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient

Given those words, the use of Presidential "Executive Orders" to circumvent Congress is probably unconstitutional.

To Create Jobs, Obama Orders Someone To Make A Website

http://www.businessinsider.com/to-create-jobs-obama-orders-someone-to-make-a-website-2011-10

“Obama ordered Cabinet departments and agencies to work together to create a new BusinessUSA website, to save businesses time navigating the federal bureaucracy. The portal was a component of his ‘American Jobs Act,’ which has failed to gain support in Congress.

Asked why Obama had to sign an official memorandum — and release it to the press — White House Press Secretary Jay Carney simply stated: “You need a presidential memorandum to get these things started,” Carney.”
