President Barack Obama has an ambitious plan for Washington bureaucrats to take command of the oceans—and with it control over much of the nation’s energy, fisheries, even recreation in a move described by lawmakers as the ultimate power grab to zone the seas.
The massive undertaking also includes control over key inland waterways and rivers that reach hundreds of miles upstream, and began with little fanfare when Obama signed an executive order in 2010 to protect the aquatic environment.
“This one to me could be the sleeping power grab that Americans will wake up to one day and wonder what the heck hit them,” said Rep. Bill Flores (R –Texas).
“This is pure administrative fiat,” said Sen. David Vitter (R –La.). “It’s very troubling.”
“This is purely a unilateral administrative action with no real congressional input or oversight,” Vitter said. “I think it clearly threatens to have a big impact on a lot of industry, starting with energy, oil and gas, and fishing.”
But in his zeal to curb sea sprawl, lawmakers say the president’s executive order also gives Washington officialdom unprecedented reach to control land use as well.

With every additional “decree” from this Caesar-wannabe, another 100,000 conservatives decide they will have to go vote against him.
We get another term of this monster I am convinced we are headed to CW2, collapse, something just awful.
I am hoping that is not what some here seem to want by staying home.
Obama is literally the dagger at our throats right now! We won’t make it to 2016 if he is re-elected!
He’s like a maxi-pad Pharaoh, a regualar Nebuchadnezzar, Nimrod rising, a totalitarian dictator. Land grabs, ocean grabs, bank grabs, huge financial losses, oil moratoriums, oh I can’t go on. This man has to go, the ship he came in on and all his corrupt cronies, send them all to hell, all of them.
Meanwhile the drumbeat of Dictator Obama grows louder:
regulate -— control -— destroy -— Regulate -— control -— destroy -— REgulate -— control -— destroy -— REGulate -— control -— destroy -— REGU
” - - - lawmakers say the president’s executive order - - - “
If memory serves me correctly. Presidential Executive Orders were restricted to directions to the gardener, and other servant staff around the executive Mansion.
vaudine
I don’t know why we are wasting money paying a Congress.
Obama passes his own laws
Makes his own appointments
Doesn’t have Budget
Declares his own wars
Passes our secrets to Russians
Has his own immigration policies
Refuses subpoenaes from Congress
We are wasting our money keeping Congress living like Kings when they are totally unneeded and useless.
First, it starts with Congress and the Oceans Act of 2000. Then there GW Bush's involvement and now Obama.
I remember that LOST treaty bush tried to sign.
Basically I am of the mode and Bush and Obama are carbon twins of each other at this point.
There is almost no difference whatsoever between them.
IOW, the Land and Water Czar will be knocking on my door demanding tax for having my boat in Hussein’s river and will take possession of my water well because some of that water might be his. Of course, without drinking water, I’ll have to walk away from my land and he’ll have that, too.
I've been saying that for months.
“We are wasting our money keeping Congress living like Kings when they are totally unneeded and useless.”
I agree...
Today the Oceans. Tommarow Uranus.
Give him all of your lead, too, while you're at it.

“Dear God - we have to get this communist tyrant out of office in November.”
YES - and this is yet another example of why adding conservatives to the House and taking the Senate will NOT be enough!!! BHO just bypasses Congress completely. And it’s a travesty that at least the House doesn’t have the cojones to initiate impeachment - of course, BHO knows this - that no one dares to fight him.
All these executive orders, large power grabs, czar/cabinet appointments and carte blanche authorization, SCOTUS justices, etc., are child’s play compared to what he’ll do in a second, unrestrained term. Our republic is over if that happens, and that’s why the majority of us will, in the end, vote for anyone running against this Islamic radical, anti-Judeo/Christian, hater of America and her patriots, plotting and carrying out our destruction as swiftly as he can.
The house can stop all this extraconstitutional BS by defunding all of his edicts and going further to defunding ALL of his excursions, all of his everything. No money, no dictator-like dictates. He can sit in the Oval Office and command cheese from the moon.
They can impeach him. They can challenge each of his dictates to the Supreme court. Every one. Every time. They can make his ‘rule’ impossible.
But they do not. Why? That’s the problem.
Let the left and the MSM scream. Let them threaten. Let them cry wolf.
I also wonder why the Republicans in the House have done nothing to stop/prevent all of these socialist Obama extreme Executive Orders - as you have suggested?
Anyone have any possible answers?

I thought it was that way too, but apparently not in for a while in practice.
Which, of course, means voting Republican...voting Romney.
I would vote for Charles Manson over Obama.
Personally I think there is now one party in Washington and they put on “Ayres” to make it look like we have a choice. I think it happened under Bush 1/Clinton. Somewhere in that era.
Since then I see nothing but one ‘side’ whipping up things that PO the other - just enough to make the public disgusted anough to say ‘screw it’ and ignore them. They then do whatever they want and every 4 years put on the ‘democracy show’ so that we get our regular “I participated’ trophy.
My other theory is that half of each party in Washington is gay and the other half threaten them with outing unless they vote ‘properly’.
I say these things not jokingly, but seriously.
“They can impeach him”
The House can initiate proceedings, but it takes the Senate to try/convict, and we know that won’t happen w/Reid and the Dums.
Can the House defund his stuff without the Senate or not? (I know funding has to originate there, but to defund, can’t remember if they can do that by themselves.) Sorry I’ve forgotten my civics on that one.
THANKS! Please send this list to the Candidate of your choice with a note to have his Campaign staff work up a comparison of ECs with other presidents.
Also add that ECs are just a way of ramming something down the citizen’s throats without going to Congress to get legal permission to do so.
Dictator “Bypass Congress” Barack is obvious to us, but our sorry Candidates lack the backbone to shout Obama down.
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently, at least 40 % of American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.
Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.
Obama’s obvious deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.
Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?
These 40% are democrat human toilets.
The house can impeach; whether or not the senate caries through is a different matter. But the act of impeachment itself is solely a house function.
As for the funding, since funding must originate in the house, the senate is again not an issue.
Say that Barry goes back to the LOTS treaty nonsense for example. The house can at that point stop dead on funding anything further and shut down the govt until he retracts. They have it within their authority and power to do so every time that Obama tries ANYTHING they do not like. And no one but the voters can do anything about it.
Right this moment, Bohner could say “Since Obama has repeatedly exceeded his authority on Libya, Obamacare, Gulf Drilling et all, We have decided to withold all house votes on all issued before us until he complies with the constitution, repeals his ExOrders and returns to constitutional governance. Should he not comply or etaliate by threatening to use old people and our military as financial hostages, we will immediately file impeachment proceedings.”
The press can scream, the dems can scream, whatever. The only people with the authority to do anything about it are the American voters. Period. The Supremes have no say in this, nor do appeals courts. At best Obama could declare martial law, but then he gets to face the country one on one.
From day one they have had this authority. But they out of fear of it being done to a Repub prez will not do it. So they too must be voted out wholesale ASAP.
When does his behavior achieve the level of impeachment? If he were white, he’d have been out months ago.
IMPEACH AND REMOVE the marxist dictator Obama
-Obama
Well said, I agree with you.
I think you are on to something there. GW still has a following here bt you are absolutely correct. I am glad he built that fence after he promised too before his last term, but that evil Senator Kay, from Texas defeated his effort. </sarcasm>
I agree. Romney was NOT my choice, and he falls short of my ideal in a number of ways, but IMHO, his election would not be the catastrophe that another Obama term would bring. Obama was somewhat restrained his first four years. He will be completely unfettered during a second term, because he would no longer have to worry about reelection. Or as he put it to Putin’s puppet: “I will have more flexibility after my election”. More flexibility to sell us out to our enemies. More flexibility to shove his environmental regulations down our throats and kill more jobs. More flexibility to oppress us with Obamacare, with no way out. More opportunities to appoint far-left judges to the courts — and maybe even the Supreme Court. More flexibility to enact liberal policies. The best we can hope for, even if we get control of both the House and the Senate, is four years of gridlock.
No, thank you.
This sounds like UN agenda 21 type treaty. Unconstitutional executive orders are just complained about or complicity assumed Obama has the power. It is hard to understand why there is no challenge to this. Our problem is bigger than Obama.
House Republicans are fighting back by tightening the purse strings they control and hope that by cutting off funding to implement the policy, and putting a stop to officials they believe are siphoning money away from other programs, they can block it from going forward.
Rep. Hal Rogers (R -Ky.), who heads the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has been asked to put a stop to the administration’s “cloaked funding” by Rep. Doc Hastings (R–Wash.), chairman of the House Resources Committee.
“The Obama administration continues to move forward with zoning the oceans through implementation of the president’s National Ocean Policy without requesting funding specifically for this broad initiative and without answering basic questions about how funds are currently being diverted from other missions to fund this initiative,” Hastings said in an April 2 letter to Rogers.
This administration is also full of Clinton people. Progress the agenda in increments...regardless of figure head.
Obama in another term will be the end of this nation. If that is what people want, they should just be open about it.
I hate romney, but I also hate bernie madoff and joran vandersloot. If Madoff/Vanderloot were running against Obama - i would vote for that as well.
We have to get this communist traitor and every piece of garbage like holder, napolitano, jarrett, et al out of office at almost all cost.

Bush was a NWO’er with a Republican Cloak as was Daddy Bush
Clinton was a NWO’er with a Democrat Cloak
Obama is a NWO’er with a Socialist Cloak...
The last four presidents have been NWO’ers.
We are screwed as Mitt is a NWO’er.
The republican NWO’ers start the ball rolling or keep it rolling, the Dims steer the ball as it run over us.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!

We NEED a private space industry, if we can start settling people off world when the commies who run the world at that point get too uppity we can lob down a few rocks down on them at 17,500MPH.
The moon is a harsh mistress.
BINGO!
I expect you’re right but the bunghollio who comes to lock up my well had better be one bullet proof SOB. I’m not sure where Obamuzzie will find takers for that job? UN?, NATO? This stuff goes back to Clinton and his cute clean water act.
“This is pure administrative fiat,” said Sen. David Vitter (R –La.). “It’s very troubling.”
Well, gee, Congressmen. Sounds like you need to grow a set and take on Obama. WTF are we paying you for?
