Live Thread: Obama On Television Asking for Sweeping Authority For Executive Branch
Fox and All media outlets | January 13, 2012 | truthkeeper

Posted on 01/13/2012 8:50:24 AM PST by truthkeeper

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."

My God! This sounds very much like a Hitler moment!

Or am I over reacting? Hitler’s stuff seemed pretty good at first, and even got some stuff done, but the devil was in the details.

I hope I have represented this correctly. I'm trying to get work done and listen at the same time and it's hard.

Obama: "This is a make or break moment, trying to get the middle class going and businesses growing"..."we've got to take advantage of it."

Fox: "Asking for the authority to consolidate government agencies...sounds pretty good!"

Paul Gigot: "He's presenting himself as a reformer now..."

asked this on another thread but what is he saying.

Someone just told me that he is wanting to make Govt different which takes power away form congress and gives him more power.

Is this true?

I’ve told people that I firmly believe that Obama will not finish his first term. What most don’t know is that I use that wording very specifically for a reason: One way he could not finish his first “term” is if elections are suspended. At that point he would no longer be in a “term” even though his term would have finished in January when the new president would have been sworn in.

I don’t expect it to happen, but if it does, my prediction will have come true.

I’ve got to leave in a bit. It would be great if someone would please post the actual transcript on the forum as soon as it is available. Thanks in advance!

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

Then why are you making it a partisan issue?

The countdown on the Obamayan Calendar continues....

From some things I read earlier, he is essentially asking for fast track authority to reorganize government agencies - congress must still approve though. Reagan was given this in the 80’s and Obama wants it now ...

Of course, the proof is in the pudding - IOW, once he is given the authority, who is to say he wont abuse it, as he has every other authority vested in him.

To be honest I have NEVER heard him complete the first sentence. If I am EVER on a channel and his face comes on, I immediately hit the mute button and change the channel. I REFUSE to watch or listen to the puke. There is absolutely nothing that I want to hear him say. IF he ever quit, I will listen to that two words and cheer. But, I will never listen to the puke.

Let’s not forget all of Obama’s messiah statements

“... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama” - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.
January 7, 2008.

[My God! This sounds very much like a Hitler moment!]

Obama has been setting us up for a civil war for a long time. That’s what community organizer is all about.

As I was typing away I actually DID hear him say something to the effect of, "Of course I won't abuse that authority"...and then he chuckled.
Believe me, I almost yakked.
