Yes, he's historic, alright.

• First President to Violate the War Powers Act

• First President to Orchestrate the Sale of Murder Weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels

• First President to be Held in Contempt of Court for Illegally Obstructing Oil Drilling in the Gulf of Mexico

• First President to Defy a Federal Judge's Court Order to Cease Implementing the 'Health Care Reform' Law

• First President to Require All Americans to Purchase a Product From a Third Party

• First President to Spend a Trillion Dollars on 'Shovel-Ready' Jobs -- and Later Admit There Was No Such Thing as Shovel-Ready Jobs

• First President to Abrogate Bankruptcy Law to Turn Over Control of Companies to His Union Supporters

• First President to Demand a Company Hand Over $20 Billion to One of His Political Appointees

• First President to Encourage Racial Discrimination and Intimidation at Polling Places

• First President to Arbitrarily Declare an Existing Law Unconstitutional and Refuse to Enforce It

• First President to Threaten Insurance Companies if they Publicly Speak out on the Reasons for their Rate Increases

• First President to Tell a Major Manufacturing Company In Which State They Are Allowed to Locate a Factory

• First President to Withdraw an Existing Coal Permit That Had Been Properly Issued Years Ago

• First President to Fire an Inspector General of Americorps for Catching One of His Friends in a Corruption Case

• First President to Propose an Executive Order Demanding Companies Disclose Their Political Contributions to Bid on Government Contracts

• First President to Golf 73 Separate Times in His First Two-and-a-Half Years in Office

But remember: he will not rest until all Americans have jobs, affordable homes, green-energy vehicles, and the environment is repaired, etc., etc., etc.

Obama is also the first president to send his jets to buzz a major city that had already been attacked by terrorist planes. All in good fun, though! LOL Bob

According to an article posted a few stories above this one, Hussein is outlawing the trading of gold and silver by US Citizens (which is is not, so he still can) on July 15th.

“Trading Of Over the Counter Gold and Silver to be Illegal Beginning July 15th”

Say it ain’t so...

What fresh hell is this?

Can we take another year and a half of this joker?

Discussion on that thread shows that what is outlawed is selling you a paper that says you have, say, 100 oz of gold that they’ll hold for you. They must deliver the gold to you within 28 days, instead.

So it stops someone selling you gold or silver that they don’t/won’t have w/i 28 days for delivery.

It doesn’t stop buying/selling the physical product.

That one scared me, too, until I read it.

Whew, I read that too later today!
Still, it scares me what this fake president is capable of and I put nothing past him. God help us all survive this awful time in our country.

And first to go to all kinds of schools, yet mysteriously have no one recall him being there...Hmmm.

I can’t wait for the whole truth to come out someday.

This guy is a total faker.
