Judging by the excerpt, this guy's just another apologist.

Nothing to see here, just move along folks .. and that's an order

I disagree that the DPA is legitimate. We do not need the government up and running quickly, we do not need to worry about the private sector getting energy quickly.

Just another step by that big eared Socialist $%(&##@! towards total and complete power (Think of Stalin) for example or Hitler they always declare a benign reason “Public Benefit” “its for the children”, Blah, Blah and soon you are slave or servant! Gag

People might try treating Obama as the joke and loser he is. He is not our real POTUS. He got there by cheating. He needs to be in jail. No one knows who he he is; but I will bet he is not legitimate. We should not obey anything he fakely puts into law because he is a fake.

This thing was unconstitutional in 1950 and its unconstitional now. In a time of emergency disaster not only can the individual governors of the states declare martial law but the congress can give a temporary approval to the President for martial law with a time frame attached. The EO whch was revised and signed by BHO the other day is just a vehicle for a coup. Barry would be doing this unless he planned to use it. I advise everyone to prepare accordingly.

There is one thing having contingency plans in case of a crisis, it is another thing to have an administration who is likely to create a crisis in order to activate those plans.

From the article:

The timing of this executive order is jarring, even if the specific changes to the order are not. The power it conveys is staggering and cannot be safely entrusted to a single branch of government, much less to a single man. The Congress needs to reassert control over the exercise and implementation of the Defense Production Act before it can be utilized by a power-hungry cabal of Leftists eager to fundamentally transform America.
