The White House defended using the President’s authority to issue an Executive Order implementing the so called DISCLOSE Act. The Order would require companies doing business with the federal government to report on any political contributions to independent groups. Congress rejected the DISCLOSE Act last year.
Presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney asserted that “it’s essential that the President know who his enemies are so he can ensure that they are not rewarded with government contracts. He cannot allow his hands to be tied by Congress. Congress harbors many who oppose the President’s agenda and who wish him ill. To let them determine whether his enemies shall be enriched via government work would be political suicide.”
The President’s Executive Order will exempt public employee unions and federal grant recipients because “these groups typically donate to Democrats,” Carney said. “There’s no need to bog down your friends with extra paperwork that saps energy that could go into helping you politically.”
“The possibility that such a reporting requirement could be used to favor government contractors who take a particular stance on a political issue was the reason why Congress refused to pass this legislation,” argued Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). “It’s revival as an Executive Order is an outrageous abuse of Presidential authority.”

I’m beginning to think you’re the reason why so many people can’t stand BO/BS! LOL!
And some of you still are not convinced that this jackass is a communists black Muslim. He is a criminal and rotten to the core.
I bit the hook too. This appears to be a satire piece. My jaw dropped when I read the quote from Carney until I figured out the joke. I am sure though that this type of talk goes on behind close doors in the WH.
So - instead of the USA being a “Constitutional Republic”, we now live in an “Unconstitutional Dictatorship”. how quaint and nice for the Fuhrer, Barak Obama to decide to usurp the authority of Congress and appoint (anoint?) himself as King, Supreme Judge, and Chief Lawmaker...
I have made the assertion before, and will again here - our entire Military is in dereliction of their duty to protect this nation from enemies both foreign and domestic. Obama is systematically destroying this country, shredding the Constitution ever stop of the way.
just say no.
it’s not law.
tell him to go get stuffed
Grrrr...... You friggen got me! I was just about to start ranting!
I have to remember that these satire’s are sooo plausible that they sound exactly true! hahaha - nice one though!
“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool!”
Speaking of penstrokes, this one is a cut above, Mr. Semmens, sir! Reminds me of my need to get some of the Omaha steaks out for you one of these days....
Two words - graft and corruption. Payola, that makes three.
Ditto. BO is such a boor that scarcely anything looks incredible at first blush.
And i am saying Wtf
And that is not way to the future
