February 13, 2014 5:24 PM 2008 Obama: 'I Intend to Reverse' Using Executive Orders By Andrew Johnson

Candidate Barack Obama might take issue serious issue with President Obama’s use of executive power. Citing his time as a constitutional-law professor lecturer, the then-senator emphasized the importance of the separation of powers while on the campaign trail.

“The biggest problems we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power in to the executive branch, and not go through Congress at all,” he told an Iowa audience. “That’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America.”

During last month’s State of the Union address, President Obama stated that he will circumvent Congress by using executive orders to push his domestic agenda. Earlier this week, the administration delayed the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate for medium-sized businesses until 2016 and weakened it for large businesses.

Marxism has always been based on lies.

They have always done exactly the opposite of their public speeches.

Always.

Anyone who believes one single word they utter is a fool.

oh thiat one is worse than all the other bush bashes combined...

“George Bush trying to bring more and more power in to the executive branch, and not go through Congress at all,” he told an Iowa audience. “That’s what I intend to reverse”

how self canceling can one get.

Bush did “it” and bozo intended to reverse it...by DOING...”it”.

How does he get away with all that pitiful jackassward malarky?

“Once he has amassed enough power he will turn homicidal.”

Some of us believe he already has.

My wife said she saw a “liberal” professor on TV today saying “Years from now people will look back and ask why we let obama get away with what he’s doing.”

I agree. I think the same things about Venezuela and Argentina, where the opposition still pretends that a new election (as if a real election were possible) will change things.

OBAMA’S HIDEOUS MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ABORTION.

“Obama, the man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family.”

President Obama’s first act of “change” was to issue an executive order nullifying George W. Bush’s executive order banning on using taxpayer money to fund international “family planning” groups who counsel women and perform abortions around the world, but mainly in Africa. Obama will ensure that potentially millions more never even get the chance of life in the first place.

Obama signed an executive order Jan. 23, 2009, reversing the “Mexico City policy” — a prohibition first implemented in 1984 by Reagan, in which forbade the U.S. government from sending money to overseas family-planning organizations that perform abortions or offer abortion counseling. The policy did not apply to abortions carried out in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions

The ban, which was lifted when Bill Clinton took office, was later re-established by George W. Bush in 2001. Obama’s executive order passed almost exactly 36 years to the day since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion.

Since abortion was legalized in US, more of 55 million unborn babies have been murdered, most of them, black and Hispanics children.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans said they disagreed with the president Obama decision to give overseas funding to family planning organizations that provide abortions, according to the survey taken between Friday and Sunday. Thirty-five percent supported it.

That would have been Jonathan Turley she saw. A few, very few, liberals speaking out regarding the lawlessness of the administration. He happens to be one of the few.

The only thing that will stop him, and the machine behind him, is a massive protest against his enablers.
