see #15.
Ah, you already HAVE seen #15.
look what he’s done in eighteen months he’s got 22 months left he’s just begun. He has given our banking system over to a global financial stability board which can raise all kinds of different fees on the American people.
He is going to use the clean air act and the evironmental regulations
The Army Corp of Engineers already has control over virtually anything that runs or holds water for any part of the year. It is considered a “wetlands” and must be protected. I submitted an application to the ACOE in June of 2007. After countless phone calls and emails we gave up getting a response. The project has been dead for 2 years now. In July 2010, a gentleman called me from the ACOE and asked the status of the project. I had to wait 2 days to cool down before I called him back.
Do I recall correctly that there is a lawsuit that’s been filed against the EPA for its actions in that regard?
I read this was going to happen a month or so back. It’s Obongo’s back door approach to the UN’s Law Of The Sea Treaty (LOST). Never could make it through the proper steps to join onto this nightmare of a treaty, so he’ll just proclaim it.
Further words fail me.
Obama Establishes America’s First National Oceans Policy
WASHINGTON, DC, July 20, 2010 (ENS) - President Barack Obama has established a national ocean policy that will for the first time create a coordinated system for managing America’s oceans, coasts and Great Lakes.
In an Executive Order issued Monday, President Obama adopted the final recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force that has been gathering facts and drafting the policy since June 2009.
The order creates a National Ocean Council to implement the new policy.
Marine management under this policy will be “ecosystem-based,” which means that regulation of specific activities, such as oil and gas development, will take into account impacts on the broader ecosystems that could be affected.

For the first time, it provides for the development of coastal and marine spatial plans that build upon and improve existing federal, state, tribal, local, and regional decisionmaking and planning processes.
Marine spatial planning is intended to protect ocean ecosystems and minimize conflicts between new and existing ocean uses through science-based decision making and the involvement of stakeholders and the public.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said, “The new national policy provides a clear road map for all federal agencies to work together, with local partners, to protect our vital waters for future generations.”
The regional plans “will enable a more integrated, comprehensive, ecosystem-based, flexible, and proactive approach to planning and managing sustainable multiple uses across sectors and improve the conservation of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes,” Obama states in the Executive Order.
“President Obama recognized that our uses of the ocean are expanding at a rate that challenges our ability to manage significant and often competing demands,” said Nancy Sutley, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, who led the task force that included 24 senior-level policy officials from across the federal government.
“With a growing number of recreational, scientific, energy, and security activities,” said Sutley, “we need a national policy that sets the United States on a new path for the conservation and sustainable use of these critical natural resources.”
“As we witness the gut-wrenching devastation in the Gulf of Mexico, this announcement is welcome news for the future health of our oceans,” said Bill Eichbaum, WWF vice president for marine policy. “We commend President Obama for his leadership in convening the task force and heeding its recommendations.”
In 2003 and 2004, reports issued by the Pew Oceans Commission and the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, respectively, warned that poor management and lack of coordination among federal agencies were threatening the health and economic productivity of our oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes.
“This first-of-its kind framework will help our nation plan wisely for the future of our oceans and coastlines, so that we can continue to experience their beauty and bounty for generations to come,” said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
“Today, possibly more so than any point in our nation’s history, we appreciate that healthy oceans matter,” said Dr. Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“The Task Force’s Final Recommendations provide a balance between protecting and preserving the marine environment, and promoting economic progress,” said said Admiral Bob Papp, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. “The framework protects the interests of all users, improves ocean stewardship, and provides the foundation for improving maritime governance at the international, regional, state, and local levels.”
“The Department of the Navy strongly supports the principles and framework laid out in this new Executive Order,” said Donald Schregardus, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for environment. “Strengthening the vital link between our global maritime mission and our responsibility to safeguard the environment is a key component to our environmental strategy. The establishment of the National Ocean Council will be important in advancing this strategic priority.”
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger applauded the move, saying, “The Deepwater Horizon spill has emphasized what a vital role our oceans play in our environment, economy and overall well-being. California has long demonstrated leadership with ocean and coastal protection and we stand ready to continue assisting President Obama at all levels of government to ensure that we safeguard our treasured natural resources.”
The National Ocean Council will plan to hold its first meeting later this summer to begin implementing the national policy.

I agree and we even have his own statements to use against him, i.e., not born in America
Here’s one we’ll never see on TV!
Welcome to Kenya. Have a nice day.
And yet...
And yet they do.
The next president will overturn all of Obama’s executive orders.

The first thing the next President of the United States must do is to rescind all EO’s issued by Obama. Can be done with the stroke of a pen. Could even do it with a single EO:
“This EO hereby rescinds all EOS issued by Barack Hussein Obama.”
Basically, these EO’s should become a campaign issue.

You would have had a bureaucrat on your doorstep the next day.
the people that he but in government will be there for years
At least to anyone without connections
Americans are not going to do anything about all this. They never do. Elections never derail it; only slow it down. We are too back stabbing of each other to make it stop.
