Obama uses executive order in sweeping takeover of nation's climate change policies (!!!)
Fox News ^ | 11/1/2013 | Perry Chiaramonte

Snip: Through the stroke of a pen, President Obama on Friday used his executive powers to elevate and take control of climate change policies in an attempt to streamline sustainability initiatives – and potentially skirt legislative oversight and push a federal agenda on states. The executive order establishes a task force of state and local officials to advise the administration on how to respond to severe storms, wildfires, droughts and other potential impacts of climate change. The task force includes governors of seven states — all Democrats — and the Republican governor of Guam, a U.S. territory. Fourteen mayors and two other local leaders also will serve on the task force. All but three of those appointed are Democrats. The task force will look at federal money spent on roads, bridges, flood control and other projects. It ultimately will recommend how structures can be made more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels and warming temperatures. “We're going to need to get prepared. And that’s why this plan will also protect critical sectors of our economy and prepare the United States for the impacts of climate change that we cannot avoid,” Obama said last June, when he first launched a Climate Action Plan.

Your post reads like a pre-2009 U.S. civics book.

Marvelous. Our Great Emperor Zero has decreed that all government employees need to prepare for more warming and rising sea levels. Perhaps it is a good thing that he is not Emperor of the Antarctic.

I guess this explains why there were climate hecklers at his Boston speech yesterday. Was it yesterday? Anyhoo...

I suppose he can spend however much he wants, too. Didn’t congress hand over the purse until February? Heck, they’re trying to hand it over forever.

If this stands we’re done.

and rising sea levels.

LMAO. Whatever happened to:

generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal....

Did 0bama get a phone call from his globalist NWO handlers to ramp up AGENDA 21? Apparently so.

Obama is just trying to create distracting smokescreens so he won’t be Impeached over his Benghazi Murder and Cover Up.

Executive Orders won’t help him when his Articles of Impeachment are drawn up early in the second week of November, 2014.

The money grab is key. I read Obama had a net worth of just over $1M in 2008. He’s now up to almost $13M. They are all grabbing our cash hand over fist.

Outcry from Congress? What are you, a member of the Flat Earth Society? Congress has done and will continue to do nothing.
