I have been on the road all day listening to every talk show I could find. I am enraged that no one is screaming about this.

That especially applies to the republican contenders who should be fighting for the stage to announce that they would repeal this immediately. It seems like a paraphrase of the Hugo Chavez governance plan.

Where is the outspoken libertarian?

Brett Baier carried the story tonight on Fox. However, the story was mostly a report how people are reading too much into it and that is because it was released on Friday which gave room for speculation.

Well you should have been screaming for a long time because this EO represents pretty much the same state of affairs that have been in force since 1933.

Slow down brother. I went ballistic too, until I did my homework. This has been pretty much the same verbiage, same EO, since about Reagan.

Yes, it's worse in Obama's hands, but the EO only allows for analysis of policy, not implementation.

And we know Hot Air is no Politico Obama-butt-boy-outfit.

I just heard Mark Levin discussing it on his radio show. He is hopping mad.

You can start here.

I strongly suggest you read the whole page.

Much has been said about this EO. I admit my blood boiled when I first read it.

However, gaining some perspective, this is an updated rehash of EOs issued by Clinton and Bush. The most level, fair critique I've read is the one at Hot Air titled, "National Defense Resources Preparedness" executive order: Power grab or mere update?

Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!

This article has a video in which they break down this Executive Order line by line. Please take a listen and have the EO in front of you to follow along.

Oh, I don't know about that. It might be a nice club to have so that the networks stay polite after 07 November 2012. Otherwise their *resource* might have to be *temporarily* taken in trust by the incoming Republican administration.

Unless, of course, they run Romney or Santorum.
