If, as F.A. Hayek famously said, socialism is "The Road to Serfdom," then Omama's version of national socialism is going to be "The taxpayer funded 8-lane Super-highway to Fascism/Communism."
And even worse - the slaves pulling the stones for our new Pharaoh's Marxist-wet-dream pyramid will be required to pay for the honor.
And all this in only the first two weeks!
More like a move from socialism to communism.
I hate this SOB
Does anyone know where to find the text of the actual order?
“If, as appears likely, the stimulus conspiracy passes, the vast majority of american workers will have to submit to joining a union and contributing a portion of their wages to Obama’s National Socialist Utopia OR be frozen out completely!”
It can’t be legal. This will be struck down, in my opinion...Americans right or left will not tolerate this...big overreach...
The unions paid millions to get their “messiah” elected. He now has to pay them back by shoving their Commie BS down our throats.
HA!
I was just at the White House web site and was poking around a little and found this:

ETHICS
The ethics section is currently being revised to reflect President Obama’s Executive Order concerning Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel, issued on January 21, 2009. Please check back soon.
What a joke our nation has become!
No press conference about this order? No MSM coverage? You don’t think they are trying to hide this do you?
This is the Bush Executive Order that Obama will be considering reversing next:

Listen, the Republican headline on this needs to be:
See? That's not so hard.
I am not a lawyer but section 5 states that this only a suggestion.
Sec. 5. This order does not require an executive agency to use a project labor agreement on any construction project, nor does it preclude the use of a project labor agreement in circumstances not covered by this order, including leasehold arrangements and projects receiving Federal financial assistance. This order also does not require contractors or subcontractors to enter into a project labor agreement with any particular labor organization.
I have a question. Are the unions going to open their ranks to illegal aliens since we are always told they are the only ones who will do the work.
His true colors are coming through loud and clear (although most of us had him pegged from day one). I've noticed a lot of buyers remorse out there. He's overstepping and backlash from the American people has already started.
Does anyone have a clue how many construction companies will die because of this, how many jobs will be lost and the tiny percentage that are union?
I pray they take this to court.
Go have a look at the comments:

I mean damn, can pay to play be more obvious with this guy?
Anyone know how much went to jobs and training for unions in the stimulus crap?
Can’t that law be challenged in right to work states?
It’s an EO, which means it can be challenged by a Senator or Congressman within a certain time period set by law.
So, if you have a conservative rep, call him or her and ask for him to challenge this EO after it’s published.
I’ll contact my Senators and my rep next week and ask them to do this.
BTTT
