President Obama wants the power to shrink the size of the federal government. His first idea is to merge six trade and commerce agencies.

Obama needs to be impeached. Actually WE need Obama impeached.
Fox News’ DUMBEST poll ever. HELL NO! Why even ask the question? Because there are plenty of dumbasses out there that will answer “yes”.
Whether they should or not, they have done it.
Since the day he has took office he has done as he damn well pleased. And told Congress if they did not like it, they could kiss his ass. And Congress’ response? Their lips got lockjaw around his ass. To this day.
Obama wants the power....
that’s all you need to know and we’ve known it all along...Get that damn bastard out of the White House!
Nice summation! Thanks
Is this his campaign? I tried to reduce government but congress wouldn’t agree with me and give me the power I needed. It’s his way of trying to pass the buck and dodge the blame of his destructive attack of our rights and economy?
Not sure. Shrinking government sounds great, I just don’t know about giving more power to the presidency. 12.54% (5,192 votes)
No. Congress should have the power to remake government, not the president. 78.75% (32,605 votes)
Yes. I am all in favor of shrinking government any way we can. 8.71% (3,607 votes)
Total Votes: 41,404
Has FOX gone completely insane?
I have been wondering that myself for some time now. Maybe Glenn Beck knew what was coming down the pipe...
“Obama said. “Let me be clear, I will only use this authority for reforms that result in more efficiency, better service and leaner government.”
MORE EFFICIENCY? LEANER GOVT? LIKE OBAMACARE ???
“Under the proposal, six major trade and commerce agencies with overlapping programs would be merged. The Commerce Department would be among those that would cease to exist.”
NO, NO and NO Again! Consolidating Govt Agencies is a move to insure that we NEVER GET RID OF THEM!
Keep them where they are, a never ending, Glaring multiplicity of Eyesores and Pray for a conservative Administration to, at Some Point, start dismantling them.
If we allow these Agencies to conglomerate, we’ll be allowing them far More power to resist being closed down.
What the heck are they smoking? HELL NO. Zero is pure EVIL.
No doubt he’d eliminate all the decent agencies and outsource to his Union thugs!
He's only interested in shrinking the parts of it he considers disloyal to him. Like the military.
Give Obama more power 30 seconds before the new Republican President is sworn in next January.
We should be taking power away from the executive branch...not increasing it. Fox is out of touch with the peope.
Plus Emperor of the Afterlife.
HELL NO!!!
If the Republicans screw this one up too... !
The radical Socialist juggernaut moves on to try to control all commerce, means of production and supplies of critical goods, foreign and domestic.
How about consolidating all environmental agencies (including the so-called Corpse of Engineers) with a 75% reduction in cumulative budget And no lawmaking or rule making powers (That's congress' job!)
How about consolidting all the hundreds of welfare agencies and sub agencies also with no rule making and law making powers? That's also Congress' job!
How about limiting welfare of all kinds to citizens and legal permanent residents who adhered to all existing immigration laws?
“12.6% not sure?”
These people are why we are in the mess we are in.
Time to wake up ...
Congress is only as smart as the people who voted for them.
Merging agencies can be done with a bill like everything else. No need to transfer legislative power.
Absolutely Not!!!!
