Of course they were NEVER going to allow drilling. It would mean less dependency and that is what they crave in any form.
Utah fragile what a crock! If it is so fragile that you can’t drill a hole in it then we need to evacuate the whole state. Stupid freakin’ jackasses!

When Reagan first came into office he signed executive orders on any number of issues. Clinton and Bush43 both took similiar actions. Its part of the process when you win the Presidency. In fact, all Presidents sign executive orders through their terms in office. There have been thousands of EO`s since the US was created.

“the return of the 55 mph speed limit”

That’ll be moot, since none of us can pedal our bicycles that fast.

Seems like Utah’s Governor needs to excercise some executive power of it’s own, a preemptive strike, with a states rights case ALL ready to go.

I do belive it would be in Utah Gov Huntsman's best interest to end run BHO and develop his state's 1,700,000,000,000 bbls of oil frozen in oil shale.

That's right, 1,700,000,000,000 bbls of oil reserves are more than are in Saudi Arabia by a factor of 6x.

We’ll need a way to distinguish the good guys from the bad, when the shooting begins.

I figure when someone declares war on the most innocent of life then they have declared war on us all.

Precisely the words of an elderly Bulgarian neighbor of mine. She was a chemist under Russian rule until the wall fell. Then she split. Man, the stories that woman has told us. We pretty much hang on every word.

She just shook her head in utter disbelief on the 5th. Said we are all in for a rude awakening.

That looks like Colorado between Edwards and Eagle on I70.

BHO picks good advisors, not a man to be underestimated. GWB never figured this out.

Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.

Obama may be a savior that no one expects him to be. I have a feeling that he may be the one to save the Republican Party by pushing it and all of America to the right in the next 4 years.

You can bet to see Obama ‘out-do’ Clinton in this area.

He might even out-do Ronald Reagan who had 381.

This is Obamas first thing he said going to do. Is to let late term abortions (that’s - partial birth abortions),
to be legal again. That is where they shove a pair of surgical scissors up into the skull of a half delivered baby. They then shove a vacuum to suck out the brains. That is so the skull will collapse. They then pull out the body.
Yeah, It sounds pretty unimportant.
So in your opinion you think we should let him do it? His MOST important act.

From a strategic point of view we should resist EVERY possible thing that we can get traction on. This is one of those things, late term abortion. Some 60 per-cent or more agree that this is a barbaric act. Except for one freeper.

There are EO's and then there are abuses of EO's.

Do you know how the EO counts of each administrations compare?

Well, the dems won't have guns, but their cars will be easy to identify.

It is not enough to shed the blood of the innocent now they want to bathe in it.

The sad thing is a large number, maybe even a majority, could care less what Obama does as they can watch football and American Idol. I have some friends like this, they never watch any news, never vote. They thought Bill Clinton was still president until a couple years ago. I mentioned the election to one of them today and they asked, “So who won? The old dude or the black dude?” Yeah, that's how much they pay attention...
