Live Thread: Obama On Television Asking for Sweeping Authority For Executive Branch

I am trying to work and listen at the same time, but is anybody else hearing this??

Obama is asking Congress to reinstate his Executive authority to streamline six agencies into one, so he could "help businesses grow, save businesses time, save businesses money."

He's making it sound like the best thing since sliced bread. News media is eating it up.

"Reform and remake our government so that it works. This should not be a partisan issue."

[apillar]

Is Obama just going to have some peon in the Justice Department right a memo declaring he has the power to do this unilaterally, when Congress laughs his proposal out of the chamber? (that is what he did with the recess appointments)

Hey Hussein, why don't you have your lackey Dingy Harry put that consolidation into a BUDGET?

Then your Demonrat controlled Senate can pass a budget for the first time in about 900 days, and you can get your precious "merge".

[truthkeeper]

Over here!

Every FReeper needs to read up on the Nazis rise to power. Economic crisis, handing the reigns of power over to an individual, etc. It is that obvious.

[dragonblustar]

I agree.

IMHO why have a war?
I would lose no sleep what so ever if the north east and the west coast went on their merry way and they can have bozo, Romney , illegals , homosexuals, cross dressers, etc

Skimmed this quickly - this sounds so Hitlerian . . . looks like he going by the playbook . . . time is running short to complete his “fundamental transformation of America”.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

The MSM needs to be fired.

[WebTalk]

OK, so he's starting his big gov’t reform plan with the SBA...help them prepare to pay more taxes no doubt cause they'll be making more money thanks to the gov’t.

Notice he isn't starting with the IRS!

Is it just me or did that speech sound weird...like somebody we haven't heard before...shivers down my spine.

It's NOT just you...I got chills!!

the MSM lapdogs are loving all of this.

They better enjoy it while they can because if we become a dictatorship all is needed is ONE TV and radio station. So, they better be thinking of a trade or something because the MSM en masse will not be needed. Then we will only have to listen to their BS on one station.

[manc]

just heard it and WOW.

If he wants to do that then submit the plans ton congress and let them deal with it but he was asking for more power to me.

Why did he have to come on TV for that too?
The enemy of this country is the MSM as they are telling lies, covering stories up, twisting the truth and not doing their jobs.

Them and their messiah have been in election mode since day one.
No doubt right now they are doing fraudulent votes in swing states, the DOJ are looking to sue certain counties etc and the white house is telling the MSM what to cover and say.

Very good question here. If Obama wants to eliminate the commerce department, what happens with the census?

Someone has posted the story here:

Obama Seeks Power

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

We all need to remind everyone during campaign 2012 that Obama was presented and acted like a savior.

[maine yankee]

One way he could not finish his first “term” is if elections are suspended

---

I agree. One way or another he is going to try very hard to retain power.

And it appears most Americans are too busy watching football or dancing with the stars to even notice.

Prepare

[snowtigger]

Bump for later

[NormsRevenge]

Look how well it worked in Venezuela under Hugo.

[Retired Greyhound]

You are not overreacting.

This is pretty chilling.
