I am also anxious to see if this was a new inclusion. It’s obvious that concern over how radical Obama really is...is beginning to be noticed by the general public. I believe that he will strive to do as much damage to this nation as is possible in his last year in office.
Thank you. You’ve backed my level of alarm back one notch.
seems to me 0bambi will use the next big one (assisted by an EMP pulse) to take over
Take a look at this, at least. I’m a little less freaked out.
If this is decree meaningless, why did 0 bother to issue it?
My point was that the text of the decree is scary enough. But the need to issue it is what is truly scary. Meaning that the reason to do this is to allow all the functionaries to get busy implementing it. Which is even *more* scary.
The reason for executive orders is to provide a basis for the executive branch to draft “regulations” or “administrative law” to implement these laws. There are probably functionaries implementing these regs as we speak. And THAT is what is truly scary.
PART VIII - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 801. Definitions. In addition to the definitions in section 702 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2152, the following definitions apply throughout this order:
(a) “Civil transportation” includes movement of persons and property by all modes of transportation in interstate, intrastate, or foreign commerce within the United States, its territories and possessions, and the District of Columbia, and related public storage and warehousing, ports, services, equipment and facilities, such as transportation carrier shop and repair facilities. “Civil transportation” also shall include direction, control, and coordination of civil transportation capacity REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP.”
The last phrase is critical, regardless of who else may have issued this.
Can Congress do anything to nullify these executive orders??
The president granted authority to himself.....where does he gets the authority to give himself authority?
Where are the republicans?
Where are the media ASKING “Where are you, republicans?” Rush? Hannity? Anybody?
have the Feds knock on your door demanding the food.
I'll serve them lead appetizer while they're waiting.
Well according to a column in Flopping Aces, we is all just hysterical. This is nothing more than ‘updating’ an old order from 1950.
Absolutely nothing to all this ... nothing what-so-ever. The marxist is simply conducting the ‘people’s business’.
Only the press that’s not on his side. We don’t have that here.
Witness there is no difference in verbiage. I will at some point, compare the 1994 order to 2012's in entirity, to see where differences lie. I have to admit, my level of alarm is quickly plummetting.
Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an industrial and technology base capable of meeting national defense requirements, and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its defense equipment in peacetime and in times of national emergency. The domestic industrial and technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness. The authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to ensure it is capable of responding to all threats to the national security of the United States.

Also, it appears, according to the HotAir analysis, that the powers granted are for policy creation only, not for actual seizure and nationalization. I will next, confirm HotAir's article.
“I’m confident that the GOP led House will revoke this Executive Order”
You forgot to put (sarc) after that last statement. Someone might think you are serious. LOL!!
For example, he could declare the price of fuel to be a national emergency then simply seize the oil and gas being produced on private land from the land/mineral owners for the govt.
Once seized by the govt., the oil and gas producers wouldn't have to pay the mineral owners royalties for the oil and gas produced from their land. Not having to pay the land owners royalties for the oil and gas produced or pay a bonus for the lease itself would reduce the cost of production quite a bit and bring down the cost of fuel.
The progressives seem to have miscalculated in their choice of Obama as henchman. The subtle leftward march was moving along at a steady pace since FDR (enabled not just by leftists, but by "compassionate conservatives"). Obama is a polarizing figure, and has attracted unwanted attention to the progressive movement as a whole.
What does that mean? Hiding EO’s from having EO’s to be found easily; sneaking them past us?
“They will give us all 600 calories of food a day like they do in North Korea. Then we will be able to march in parades honoring our Dear Leader.”
Michelle Obama would likely be pleased with this - no more obesity.
“Bush signed off on an executive order that was essentially identical to this one.”
“...essentially identical...” makes me worry about the devil that might be in the details.
Rut R’oh on the details.
Many of us weren’t happy about that one either.
And this one goes farther.
