Flashback: Obama’s Promise on Using Executive Power to Change Laws

"I taught the Constitution for ten years."

Editor's note: There are differences between "signing statements" and "executive orders." Even though President Obama campaigned against the use of signing statements, he has used them throughout his presidency. We include this collection of clips as a framework for his thinking about the relationship between the branches of government with regard to the effect on legislation.

now this allows him to approve flocks of foreigners without any immigration scrutiny to
enter the country to fill the “shortage” of medical professionals. imagine the amount
of phony so-called medical professionals – i mean how can we ensure these people even know
the first about medicine. many phonies are sure to slip in not to mention potentional
terrorists among them since they will kno this is a means to get into the country.

Unfortunately, as accurate as the statement is, I fear that it is too little too late. We should have seen the Executive Order option much sooner and made Stupak realize that he’s untrustworthy on this topic. He’s lied to us before, he’ll lie to us again.

TEACHING it is not beleiving IN it   March 21st, 2010 - 10:03 pm

he’s talking 6th grade.
and about “teaching constitution”
let me enlighten those who are unaware – ANYONE with a grammar-school education
can “teach” whatever they read about the night before. its all in a book. you
have a teachers book to instruct you exactly how to get to where you want to be in
mathematical area and with simple things that only require reading such as the constit.
all one has to do is read it an hour before they get up there to teach it.

this man has loose screws moving around in there   March 21st, 2010 - 10:06 pm

teaching it qualifies him to misuse it?

Joe American 1776   March 21st, 2010 - 10:11 pm

Hello Fellow Americans: Isn’t that incredible, President Bush taught President Obama how to manipulate the law. He is using Executive order to do the same as he claims Bush always did. I guess hell must have frozen over, for in a million years, nobody could have ever imagined Obama doing what Bush did. Wow! God Bless our Troops, God Bless America, God Help America find her way back from the corruption and misrepresentation that is going on in Washington.

The Bilderberg Obama the Bush is a hypocrital liar and a traitor to the United States of America!

Stupak and all who went against ‘we’ the people…will pay dearly for their votes!

They will be held accountable starting tomorrow!

America…we will take this government away from these Democratzi ‘loons’ who seek to destroy us. They do not work for America, it’s people and it’s law or it’s Constitution…they work for their messiah…the Nation of Islam’s Messiah the first Muslim President of this Christian nation.

Never, ever shut up and never, ever give in…EVER!

WE WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO DEFEND THIS GREAT REPUBLIC, IT’S CONSTITUTION AND ALL OF OUR CHILDREN TO INHERIT THE GREAT NATION GIVEN TO US BY OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS!

GOD BLESS AMERICA…THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…WHO WILL FOREVER DEFEND HER AT EVERY CRISIS THAT COMES AGAINST US…AND THE ONLY CRISIS WE FACE TODAY…IS AT THE HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATZI ‘LOONS’ AND THEIR MESSIAH…THE BILDERBERG OBAMA THE BUSH!

FIGHT ON, AMERICA, FIGHT ON!

Poetic Justice   March 22nd, 2010 - 12:54 am

The 18 to 24 year olds that put up the Che Guevera posters in their dorm rooms and chanted yes we can, now have exactly one option for student loans, which guarantees a higher rate. But don’t worry it’ll be as easy a FAFSA application. I have 35 employees, I’ll have to sort through the details, but I think it is quite possible this will close me down, but don’t worry kids you’ll have your healthcare, even though you or your parents don’t have a job. You know the healthcare that most young people don’t even bother to buy, because they don’t usually need it. If you can find a job you’ll be able to buy a new car and finance it at 1984 new car rates of 15 to 16%, and if we’re able to save the planet with cap and trade legislation gas will surely stay under $6.00/gal., but dont’ worry you’ll still have your healthcare, you know the healthcare that most 18 to 24 year olds seldom need.

Hey and when you graduate maybe you can find a cool place to live like an abandon shopping mall or a vacant factory. With any luck you’ll graduate before interest rates skyrocket, think it can’t happen, ask anyone over 55. I got my first home loan for only 13%, but you’ll still have your health insurance, that you probably will start to use to treat your depression once you realize the change that you actually helped bring about, even though you’ve been programmed and you’ll probably still be blaming George Bush, even though Barack Obama will probably be into the 9th or 10th year of his presidency, but don’t worry once utility rates doubled and tripled as a result our green initatives you’ll have the calm reassurance of knowing that you’ve done your part to save the planet, and you’ll be enjoying a much simpler lifestyle, one that is not cluttered by a bunch of meaningless worldy possessions, or even much to eat, but you’ll have your healthcare, but don’t get depressed you’ll actually have time to read karl marx’s work and you’ll find out socialism is only a necessary transition from capitalism to communism.

You’ll actually share ownership in everything, all though you probably won’t actually own anything, you’ll be able to enjoy communal living, I am sure you’ve noticed how grateful tenants take care of their current government housing. Every four years you’ll get a chance to go to the polls and reaffirm your loyalty to the president. We won’t be burdened by the constitution at all by that time, it will be remembered for the tired old relic that it was, with it’s riduculous arcane notions of individual freedom and liberty and rights get this granted to man by God, people were really dumb back then. You in your infinite wisdom will be celebrating man’s greatest acheivement, social justice, unencumbered by those meaningless trivial possessions your parents used to surround themselves with.

Gosh you have so much to look forward to, your transformational journey has just begun.

“Sic Semper Tyrannis”

Hyphenated American   March 22nd, 2010 - 1:47 am

I’ve posted this on my blog today. Sorry for the style, English is my second language.

I want my country back!

It seems like the ultra-liberals have been able to bribe and coerce enough congress-scumbags to pass the Obamacare. And as I said before, there would be hell to pay for this monstrosity. Obamacare is the very definition of unlimited government – the threat of which was forewarned by the Founding Fathers more than two centuries ago. The federal government, which is up to its neck in debt and unfunded liabilities, decided to launch the biggest entitlement of all times – the medical care for all. The spending on this new entitlement will surely dwarf many if not most of Federal programs and will make the bankruptcy of federal and state governments inevitable. The time of reckoning is at hand, brothers and sisters. Obamacare is the last breath of the liberal order – and it’s time to take back America from the party of thieves and looters.

All patriots of this nation must stand together and fight back. United we will win! There is no blue or red America anymore – there are only those that believe in America the beautiful, America the free, America the shining city on the hill – and those that believe in welfare socialism and government tyranny. Today, we fight not only for our personal well-being – but for the dignity and honor of this country, for the right to look into the eyes of our children and say – we defended this nation from the perils of socialism. In November 2010, we will answer the crucial questions of our times – are American people worthy of the efforts of the Founding Fathers? Will American people have to right to proudly say “We are Americans” – or they will forever live in infamy and indignity of welfare socialism?

I am glad that the Democratic Party passed the Rubicon. From now on, there is no coming back for the liberal elites, no talk of compromise and middle-ground. Today, it is abundantly clear that we either will live in Obama-America or America that our Founding Father envisioned. You cannot have both.

The November elections will be the most important elections in our lifetime. If you don’t vote for America in November – you don’t deserve to be called an American.

America…if it is so easy to overturn an Executive Order…why is it that no politician has asked that the Executive Order that the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush signed sealing all his personal records just after taking over his reign?

2. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INVOLVED!
3. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

Just because he is a Constitutional Lawyer does not mean he respects the Constitution.

Why is it we hold lawyers in contempt but give BO a pass for putting ‘constitutional’ in front of his title?

alice in Tears   March 22nd, 2010 - 9:44 pm

I pray that everyone will keep their enthusiasm and spirits up until November so we can unite to throw these unamerican socialists out of OUR HOUSE! We want real Americans in office who love this country. We want representatives who respect the Constitution and will uphold it. Remember the glitch when Obama was sworn in? I now believe he was trying to somhow avoid swearing to uphold the Constitution and practically choked on the words and pretended to be “nervous” Hogwash!!! I think he hates this country and Americans and always has. Impeach him!!!!

There is one armor that the world of men and women, as a world, has never yet put on. The churches have long bungled with its fastenings, but the world has gone unfended, and few have been those in whose hands the mystical sword of the spirit has shone with daily use. This armor, waiting to be worn, is the armor of brotherhood and sacrifice, the world of unselfishness, a conquering sword, with the power, where used, to unite the world in love. And there are none who may not put it on. ~M.A. DeWolfe Howe
