Obama's Executive Orders Thread *Merged*

[ClarionCall]

All federal agencies have orders of succession. It is a relic of the cold war era when it was assumed that entire department leadership teams could be decimated in one blow.

Don't read too much into it.

[Stacey]

On American thinker it shows an executive order signed by Obama I'd give the actual link but phone won't let me. It's under their blogs. Anyway at the bottom of the eo it states the "entities" however if u read it carefully it sounds like a terrorist is anyone who stands in their way such as u or I. It states they can seize the property of anyone who they deem a threat to the USA and tho a few terrorist names are mentioned it still seems vague as to give himself some wriggle room.

Can someone take away this POTUS's pen, please?

I read something like this yesterday. When added to DHS identifying white and middle-class Americans as potential terrorists, and now with the media trying to connect Christians with the Norway shooter, it certainly appears that 'they' are setting Christians up for persecution. I might add, I'm still mentally 'chewing' on a post from a thread I read on RR a few days ago, specifcally Ps 83:3 'they conspired against thy hidden ones'. Some translations say 'treasure', another 'cherished'. Anyway, I'm thinking this is a reference to the church, not the nation of Israel. The first phrase speaks to Israel, 'thy people'. Anyway, conspiring against Christians definitely fits into current events, IMO.

I was talking to my mom about this morning and although I live my mother dearly as she is my very best friend she isn't connecting the biblical dots and irate is it's making her uncomfortable. I don't think it will be much longer now our fearful leader seems to hide behind these executive orders he signs. All it's gonna take IMO is that one little bit of some sort of transition and all of America will be no more. Christians are being set up for the fall of the Oslo terrorist act unless it was a false flag. Either way it's being spun as a Christian did it. I can't believe that. True Christians are not radical and violent and surely wouldn't attack children maybe I'm naive but doesn't set right with me. I'm glad tho my dad had brought me up the way he did warned me of things to come and thing that are here. I just hope since I am raising my children in a Christian home I can no wait God will give me strength and courage to continue no matter the consequences. Executive orders are to me at least serious business. The road he's traveling we may not have a 2012 election. He doesn't even seem to be concerned with campaigning and I think that scares me too

Sounds like Woodrow Wilson's Espionage and Sedition Acts. Obama is the worst elements of Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and Jimmy Carter with a pinch of Lenin all rolled into one.

[Gilgal]

imagine the exec orders he'll sign if he's reelected

[Stacey]

He is one scary dude that's for sure. I'm amazed with everything he has done nobody as made a notion to remove him from office. I mean I know signing eo's are within his powers but I mean really? Or is it our society as a whole feels so defeated anyway between the economy and the parole act and how Obama went behind congress back with Libya and not to mention his stance on Israel and the crazy weather that everyone threw their towel in and said well what now? I'm terrified of his next eo. And there isn't anything anyone can seem to do about it or him. All I do now is pray for a hedge of protection surrounding my family and pray that God leads me in the right direction. All I hear from him is get prepared. Scary part is I don't know what I'm supposed to prepare for. Hoping he shows me sometime soon. Anyone else wondering what the next one will be?

[Lynn]

I agree. We haven't seen anything yet. When he no longer has to campaign for re-election while still in office, his true agenda will begin to surface even more so.

[NewStandard]

Has everyone commenting actually read the order? I can't find anything that's really objectionable in it. It's basically stating that you cannot fund or provide resources (directly or indirectly) to people involved with a specific list of criminal organizations:

1. THE BROTHERS’ CIRCLE (f.k.a. FAMILY OF ELEVEN; f.k.a. THE TWENTY)
2. CAMORRA
3. YAKUZA (a.k.a. BORYOKUDAN; a.k.a. GOKUDO)
4. LOS ZETAS

The rest just describes what they mean by funds and resources.

We will .... in November 2012!

New Standard, why wouldn't Obama sign such a decree? I've heard him weave such statements of "caution" into his speeches many times. The teleprompter does not lie.

We're seeing Gestapo tactics performed on average, middle class Americans at airports everyday, heavily implying that these people might be dangerous. Many travelers report people in M.E. garb are going through the lines much quicker -- they're not being subjected to the personal indignities suffered by 90-yr old women and 6 mo old babies.

Janet Napalitano coldly says anyone who protests TSA procedures can be detained & interrogated. Her office has pointed the finger at ex-military and patriotic citizens as potential terrorists.

All of this is has happened on Obama's watch, a man with ties to Islam. The dots connect. I have no doubt his hatred for us will become more militant as his popularity drops.

Awwww. So this means i can no longer give my $10 monthly donation to the Yakuza Childrens Fund?!

[NewStandard]

The increased TSA security spans both the Bush and Obama presidencies. If we want to look at big government intruding on freedoms, the US PATRIOT act was passed back in 2001 and extended by Bush and Obama when parts of it were due to expire. While I suppose we're trading aspects of our freedom for increased security on that one, we could argue the same for the high TSA security at airports. The big government promoted by both Bush and Obama has been worrisome.

[BarbT]

Big difference between the two men.

Bush did not order intrusive body searches on passengers. He also didn't show contempt for middle class Americans by suggesting they are aligned with the likes of Timothy McVey.

Make that a HUGE difference.

[Stacey]

Haha u may wanna cancel that

I know that as far as the tsa is concerned and with flying and trains now I won't be taking my children in a plane back to Seattle next spring as I had planned. Instead we are going to enjoy a long car ride there and home and stopping to see the beautiful sites along the way. I refuse to let my children be handled in a manner they don't understand. The Tsa totally undermines what a parent tells their children even if it is in the name of security I won't do that to them

It's been speculated that the first 3 are irrelevant (either extremely small, or have been around for a long time) and this EO is to provide cover for the Operation Gunrunner fiasco. Why not include Las Negras or MS13?

O' man....wonder what may be around the corner!

[Beccasue]

Please, don't forget that this is bigger than just one president. Bushes policies set the standard, Obama is just continuing.

Please understand, the eroding of the constitution began very slowly, especially gaining speed with FDR.

This used to frighten me, anger me, so much more.

Now I see how much this is part of God's plan, and while I hate to see it happen, because I believe in what our country used to be, we do have the gamebook, and we know where this is leading and how it ends.

If, as I believe, God is using this man to accelerate where things need to go, then by all means give him another pen, I'll send him a whole box!! I don't like him. I don't like his policies and where he is leading this country, but he is just continuing what has already been started. I will not vote for him nor support in any way what he is doing, I may even think at worst, he is down right evil and knows full well what he is doing, or at best, ignorant and just following where he is being led. I do know this, he is simply, at the very end of it, just a tool.

Things will probably get quite uncomfortable, if not downright a bit hairy for us, but I will take that, if it means it gets us even one inch closer to where we are meant to be. It just reminds me yet again that we have so little time, we need to be about our Father's business.
