REPORT: Obama plan to zone oceans

We'll get to all that. But first I want to mention a White House memorandum released last Friday to the heads of federal departments and agencies because it appears the Obama Administration wants to zone the oceans.

The memo indicates that Obama is creating a task force that within 180 days will recommend "a framework for effective coastal and marine spatial planning." What's called The Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force will make recommendations to the president on protecting ocean and Great Lake resources as they experience "growing demands" from "renewable energy, shipping and aquaculture."

"This framework," the memo reads, "should be a comprehensive, integrated, ecosystem-based approach that addresses conservation, economic activity, user conflict, and sustainable use of ocean, coastal, and Great Lake resources consistent with international law..."

First, we must do no drillin’.
After all, that would mean our OWN oil, and THAT would jeopardize the Saudi profits (and those $ the Dhimmocrats get from them, you see).

One thing for sure is that he is getting away with them.

No one has successfully opposed him to this point in time.

By the beginning of 2010 he will have his private army deployed.

At that time things will get interesting.

Then the detention camps that Glen Beck says doesn’t exist will start to fill up.

He is a power grabbing Commie.

Yeah, but he's trimming the government. All white male moral, law-abiding conservatives and/or Republicans must go.

The U.N. would OWN all oil in the stroke of the TOTUS pen.
If 0Bama has not incited WWIII by this time he will for sure by the time his effed up commie U.N., ACLU,World Banks,ACORN- dream is over.

Yes, and he has his sights on a lot more than 3 IG inspectors.

But, our efforts to defeat these Marxist thugs will not go away either.

What ever it take, they must go.

Be careful of what you wish for.

Remember what finally happened to the last of the Czars.

P.S. When I first read the title, I thought it said Obama wants to mine oceans. I gotta get better glasses.

This is what is MOST DANGEROUS of all of 0bama's utopian commie plans...

To date, Barack Obama has appointed at least 28 czars, people whose sole function is to integrate industry and government through regulation. The following list of czars was compiled by PolitiFact.com:

1. Herb Allison-TARP Czar

2. Alan Bersin-Border Czar

3. Dennis Blair-Intelligence Czar

4. John Brennan-Terrorism Czar

5. Carol Browner-Energy Czar

6. Adolfo Carrion, Jr-Urban Affairs Czar

7. Ashton Carter-Weapons Czar

8. Aneesh Chopra-Technology Czar

9. Jeffrey Crowley-AIDS Czar

10. Cameron Davis-Great Lakes Czar

11. Nancy-Ann DeParle-Health Czar

12. Earl Devaney-Stimulus Accountability Czar

13. Joshua DuBois-Faith-based Czar

14. Kenneth Feinberg-Pay Czar

15. Danny Fried-Guantanamo Closure Czar

16. J. Scott Gration-Sudan Czar

17. Richard Holbrooke-Afghanistan Czar

18. John Holdren-Science Czar

19. Van Jones Green-Jobs Czar

20. Gil Kerlikowske-Drug Czar

21. Vivek Kundra-Information Czar

22. George Mitchell-Mideast Peace Czar

23. Ed Montgomery-Car Czar

24. Dennis Ross-Mideast Policy Czar

25. Gary Samore-WMD Czar

26. Todd Stern-Climate Czar

27. Cass Sunstein-Regulatory Czar

28. Paul Volcker-Economic Czar

Now, all of this would be laughable, were it not for the power of these individuals with strong loyalties to the Administration. These people are accountable to no one, able to make policy that affects the lives of ordinary citizens, and collect huge salaries compliments of the taxpayer. On second thought, maybe there should be one more czar–the Gone Too Far Czar.

Each of the people listed above represents a threat to our system of government. We are not Russians. We don’t need czars to micromanage our affairs.

This is absolutely orwellian, and it makes sense as part of the new world order/no borders movement. I don’t get the Great Lakes part, though. obama is placing a Great Lakes czar in Traverse City - he’s got his eye on Michigan, but I wonder why. Is he planning to put the lakes under international control? I guess they would be, as part of LOST - treaty of the sea.
Wow - dufus Americans had no idea what they voted for. They still don’t.

Thanks for the link and a good article-

From the article:

“Czardom does not sit well with Sen. Robert Byrd. Though slowed by age, the West Virginia Democrat remains vigorous in his defense of the powers ceded to the Congress by the Constitution. He said he believes czars are a slick way of governing without having to answer to Congress.

There is no constitutional requirement that czars undergo those pesky Senate confirmation hearings.

Former Rep. Ernest Istook said he doesn’t like the term czar either because it’s too Russian.”

“We could just call somebody the big boss, el jefe, head honcho, the big cheese,” he said. “My father used to refer to people as the chief cook and bottle washer.”

Istook said he believes the Obama team is using the appointment of czars to reinvent how the executive branch operates.”

I lived in OK for 7 years and have great respect for Congressman Istook.

What we need to do from this point is vigorously pursue the 10th Amendment efforts at the state level. I see that as the only way to stop the continued move to a dictatorial central government, without an armed conflict.

I see only three names that are familiar to me. Dennis Ross and Paul Volcker are straight arrows, can’t imagine Obama picking them. Carol Browner as Energy Czar is laughable and expected.

I hear ya but it does not matter if these folks are straight arrows or not. Their mere power bestowed upon them revokes checks and balances in our government.
