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.

Well, gotta hand it to him... he did indeed completely reverse using them. To the other end of the spectrum - completely abusing them.

Anyone who voted for him in 2008 deserves to be ridiculed.
Anyone who voted for him in 2012 deserves contempt.

The one sure way to tell when Obama is lying about something or planning on lyiong about something is to see if he is breathing.

I’m going to resolve the issue of rules coming out of the White House as if from a king, by issuing rules out of the White House as if from a king.

Democrats lie. Just look at the sleaze that was just elevated to Atty Gen in Virginia. He said he was against changing the Virginia Law about same-sex marriage. As soon as he was able to cheat his way in, he changes the law. I don’t know how anyone with a conscience could support any Dem!

When Ted Cruz becomes president, I hope his first act is to rescind all the EOs done by Dubya AND the jugg-eared marxist.

I worked 25 years for the State of Alaska DOT as a draftsman. In March of 1992 George Bush the first issued an executive order that all projects funded by the FHWA would be designed and plans be labeled using the metric system. Every state was ordered to change their road signs to kilometers instead of miles, also.
A big part of my job was preparing acquisition plats for whoever was affected by an upcoming project - the drawings were 8.5" by 14" and since the public wasn't being ordered to go metric, I had to dimension everything on these tiny drawings in metric AND English. It was ridiculous to say the least, and when the republicans took over congress in 1994, they said to forget that whole metric thing and we did. I don't like executive orders by a prez - not the way things are supposed to work.

Anyone who still supports him today, deserves to have their ass kicked.

It was ALWAYS about power.
He will say anything and be anything to get power.
Once he has amassed enough power he will turn homicidal.
