President Obama extends 9/11 national emergency
BNO News ^ | 9/10/2009 | BNO News

From the BNO Newsroom.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- President Obama on Thursday extended the national emergency declared following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

President Bush first declared the national emergency on September 14, 2001, three days after the terrorist attacks which left thousands of people dead in three American cities. The National Emergencies Act requires each national emergency to be ended or continued every year.

"Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2009. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency the former President declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat," Obama wrote to Congress.

President Obama said the terrorist threat of further attacks on the United States is continuing and remains an "immediate threat."

“President Obama said the terrorist threat of further attacks on the United States is continuing and remains an “immediate threat.” “

Wait a minute.

He told us the “war on terrorism” is over?

Remember there are no more “terrorists”.

Obama has made them his FRIENDS and our former allies are now becoming our enemies.

I thought Obama’s presence was supposed to make everyone like us?

and declared war on the agencies protecting Americans?

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT

TO CERTAIN TERRORIST ATTACKS

Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2009. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency the former President declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

THE BRIEFING ROOM

Office of the Press Secretary
___________________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release September 10, 2009

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:

Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. Consistent with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register the enclosed notice, stating that the emergency declared with respect to the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, is to continue in effect for an additional year.

The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 14, 2009, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 10, 2009.

He probably considers the great 9/12 ers coming across the country as his biggest threat right now. Of course he would want to extend the national emergency to cover this event.

This gives him an excuse! My Dad and his wife flew out today heading to Washington. I really wish I could have made it there as well. I pray for all their safety and I am proud of my Dad for attending!

Yes, but the war on the good people of the US and the Constitution is not.

Find out what the 'emergency powers act' allows the President to do, and you will understand.

That’s unpossible, we elected The One; doesn’t the world love us now? Or does he refer to an internal threat?

On the night of 9/11/2001, who would have believed that eight years later, the USA would have a Marxist-Islamist member of the Hussein family in the White House, a government fully run by Islamist apologists, and a federal government at war with the American citizenry?

What the hell happened?

Let us NEVER forget those nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Don’t let Obama desecrate the memory of those Americans who were murdered by his fellow Muslims. Send this video to everyone you know.
Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack:

http://attacked911.tripod.com/

This video has been viewed by untold millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
(Sadly, the New Yorker who made this video has since succumbed to lung damage sustained during the attack)

The video includes the planes crashing into the buildings and victims jumping. There are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Enya. It is truly awesome.

Terrorist threats? I thought they were man-caused disaster threats.
