WASHINGTON -- President Obama, putting his executive pen in his left hand to overrule eight years of Bush administration policy, signed "several" executive orders Thursday, including ones affecting national security and abortion.
The national security orders mandate that interrogation techniques in the Army Field Manual be used by all intelligence and law enforcement services; call for a task force to look at closing the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within the year; and order a strategy be developed for handling detainees in the future. The presidential directive also orders a stay in the case of Ali Al-Marri, the only person being held by the military as an enemy combatant on U.S. soil.

is the U.S. safer today than it was on January 19th??
Yes, I noticed that change. Evidently millions weren’t enough slaughtered humans.
I vote for Berkeley, CA.
Obama signed the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.”
Today there are supposedly 300,000 people in DC marching for right-to-life
Issuing this EO TODAY is rather “IN YO’ FACE”, isn't it?
This is the boy who talked about listening to all sides and respecting all opinions. Even waiting until tomorrow might have been more “respectful”. No, let the abortion mill gin up to again receive federal taxpayer funds- TODAY.
O just gave his skinny middle digit to the Pope and the pro life movement.
Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)
We Texans love y’all, but we’ll probably have to
Take action since B. Hussein Obama won the election. We’ll miss you too.
Here is what can happen:
#1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , Texas immediately secedes from the Union .
#2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas .
So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?
1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control the space industry.
2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .
3. Defense Industry—we have over 65% of it. The term “Don’t mess with Texas ,” will take on a whole
New meaning.
4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.
5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it’s too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to figure out a way to keep them warm....
6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications—small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon,
> National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.
7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. Dallas has some of the best hospitals in the United States .
8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas
Women’s University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.
9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the border when we need some more.
10. We have essential control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.
11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas
National Guard and the Texas Air National
Guard. We don’t have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad,
We can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers.
12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let’s not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don’t need any food.
This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn’t a thing out there that we need and don’t have.
Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:
Since you won’t have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.
You won’t have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.
You won’t have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.
Signed, The People of Texas
P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!
SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!
One Nation Under God
This is a procedural committee IMO. They are there to facilitate what he has already decided to do, and it’s not limited to Gitmo.
Many people will die due to the actions of Barack Hussein Obama today.
God help us all.
Yes, well that is the reality of it. Too bad we couldn’t get them Geneva Convention status.
You know it, I know it and millions of others know it, but it's lost on zer0.
No kidding...
McCain’s a liberal in many ways, but between the two, I’d prefer him sitting behind a desk in the Oval Office rather than Obama.
Their positions on abortion defer.
LOL!Very good choice, but I really think the so called actors that felt sorry for them should at least have some of the cut throats so they can make sure the poor bastards are treated well..
The only thing you can count on for certain with McCain, is that he will have been on both sides of every issue. What you won’t know, is what side he will be on tomorrow.
I can’t trust McCain any farther than I can drop kick him.
Yep, that’s right.
Nothing like letting the terrorists know that they have nothing to fear from the US. We won’t hold them, we won’t try them, we won’t discomfort them, we won’t attack them. This is a return to the policy of weakness that existed throughout the 1990’s and led to the 9/11 attacks.
No.
I agree. It’s a sad day for sure.
And to his own race...abortion was promoted by Margaret Sanger (founder of PP) in an attempt to limit and exterminate the black population. I just don't understand why African Americans don't get that fact and rebel against it.
