Obama Begins "Lifestyle Health Modification" Program, Mandating Behavioural Changes in US Society
Zero Hedge ^ | 6-13-10 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 06/13/2010 6:15:05 PM PDT by kirbyu

Last week, with little fanfare, among the ever deteriorating oil spill crisis, the White House quietly noted the issuance of an executive order "Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council", in which the president, citing the “authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America” is now actively engaging in "lifestyle behavior modification" for American citizens that do not exhibit "healthy behavior." At least initially, the 8 main verticals of focus will include: smoking cessation; proper nutrition; appropriate exercise

On the other hand, we’ll probably be granted our

***Obama golfs for four hours in sweltering heat

###

President Barack Obama spent four hours on the golf course Sunday in temperatures that peaked in the low 90s.

The White House pool reported that they left Andrews Air Force Base as it started to rain after 4 p.m.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was among the group golfing with Obama.

Honesttogod, this is a dictatorial reign of unheard
of American tyranny and bullying oppression .. a
nightmare of madness and stratospheric power
mongering of epic proportions.

MAKE IT STOP !!!!!

Gosh, I miss President Bush more and more each day.

The same guy that gave us the New Freedom Mental Health Initiative back in 2004?

"lifestyle behavior modification" for American citizens that do not exhibit "healthy behavior."

Now hold on there. Isn't sex necessary for physical and emotional health? Then shouldn't the government help pairing us up for our benefits? The next step is to keep a registry of who our partners have been.

Jus' dreaming on the (partially) positive side. :)

Here's how the new president does it. He, or she, issues an executive order staying all previous executive orders pending review. Then one by one they are examined, judged, and, by executive order, kept, modified, or discarded and there will be nothing anyone, except for the next president, can do about it.

I wish a president could write an executive order outlawing all future executive orders.

It’s the culmination of years of planning.

Bigger changes are coming, and faster. Tofler had no clue.

President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve America’s mental health service delivery system for individuals with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances....

~~~~~~~

Mental health care has been a delicate subject
for decades in this country, with many being
too ashamed or humiliated to seek the help they
needed, or worse, suffering negative impact at
their jobs (military or civilian) if they needed
and sought help and counseling. Looks like this
was meant to begin ending that stigma and more
smoothly providing help for those who need it.

I’m certainly not aware of any Big Brother Obama-
Overlord tyranny or intrusion on anyone’s life
from this.

How has it intruded on your life?

I read the behavior modification bulls*** last nite as well.
If you want to run some hairraising research find ‘The List’ by poster Nachum. He’s been archiving since the marxist took office.

Um...would this have anything to do with “Death Panels”? I guess if you call them “Health Panels” it sounds better, eh? It was done with an Executive Order so the unwashed masses won’t know what hit ‘em.

Just whose Constitution gives him this authority?

The Wickard (New Deal) Commerce Clause, of course. Just ask any of the drug warriors here.

At least initially, the 8 main verticals of focus will include: ....snip....domestic violence screenings.”

On some of these, the questions are worded so nearly everyone has the possibility of being labeled "possible abuse" by partner.
