No. But my gut told me what you said

[Blood of Tyrants]

Don’t worry, he’ll find a willing boot licker to introduce it.

BOHICA Here It Comes Again - Used colloquially to indicate that an adverse situation is about to repeat itself, and that acquiescence is the wisest course of action.

The dollar is going to be worth what six months from now?

“For those of you that read the Constitution noting all legislation must originate in the congress - u outta luck.”

Laws must be originally passed by Congress but it doesn’t mean it must originally write the proposed bills. In fact this rarely happens at any level of government. Special interest groups, including the Administrations, write proposed bills which are then passed on to legislators who are willing water-carriers for the bill. Politicians are not bill writers. Their forte is schmoozing for sponsors and votes and accepting bribes in the form of votes from them for another legislator’s pet bills, votes for them, or “other benefits” measurable and unmeasurable.

President Obama is seeking sole authority,guess what’s not a stste secret.

Forget about the content here. Shouldn’t legislation originate in the House and be sent to the Senate before the White House gets it?

This is becoming a much more socialist state under 0bama, much of which will need to be undone once we can defeat him and get a Republican President and Congress in place. I pray every day that this goal will happen starting in 2010.

Has this stopped Obama yet?
He has managed to shred the constitution page by page and the congress is not only allowing it, they are burning the pieces.

Called my Congressman and two Senators to tell them NO! on Turbo Tax Timmy’s power grab.

Right to the crooks that caused the whole banking/mortgage mess, how sweet.

“The draft legislation will — likely later today — be sent to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., chair of the Senate Banking Committee and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chair of the House Financial Services Committee.”

What we have to do is get back to our foundation and issues and quit sounding like doomsday.

The bill itself will have to originate in the house, but Presidential administrations do send draft forms of the legislation over to Congress.

I googled "Bush sends legislation to Congress" and came up with stories.

I'm bettting Bush didn't do it very often, but it will be quite typical of Obama.

[chris_bdba]

I wish people would wake up to what this adminstration is doing. It’s like the last 8 years the media kept repeating over and over that Bush was ignoring the Constitution to get people ready for the Dems taking over and actually doing it.

I don’t think either of them could run a profitable Dairy Queen if it was 98ºf everyday for a year!

[AliVeritas]

Republicans take note, this is the speech you should be starting with, change as required (Scroll to UK speech at EU re: Gordon Brown):

It’s fast approaching a dictatorship. Obama and crew is nationalizing the banks and the next industry I see coming is the Oil Companys. Control the money supply and the oil and it’s a done deal. Oil companys need to start gearing up for one hell of a fight.

I think they'll go for the food supply before they go for Big Oil. But I'm not ruling anything out nowadays...
