And the fact that no U.S. President – not even Barack Obama – has seized this type of control over America, speaks to the relative strengths of both our U.S. Constitution itself, and the separation of powers among our three branches of government that are stipulated by our Constitution.

Yeah, well, after he's re-elected, he'll have more flexibility to explore more options.

And, of course, he'll have those 450 million rounds of ammo at his disposal to help keep those options open.

Just a little anecdote to shine a light on the differences between George W. Bush and Barach H. Obama which speaks to attitudes and what might be expected of this pretender.

A Marine told a friend of ours that he went to work out in the gym during Bush's presidency and found the President working out. The Pres. spoke and shook hands and they went back to working out.

During this Admin., same Marine went to work out, found the gym locked was told the Pres. was working out. While BHO was there, marines could not carry their weapons, the Pres. stayed in a special trailer set up for him and surrounded with SS guys--but the photo ops were great!

Difference in how Bush and Obama view the military.

Also reminds me of Panetta's recent Afghan visit where military had to put up their weapons before coming to hear him speak.

Boy do the Cmdr in Chf and the Sec. Def. love our troops and respect them--NOT! Also disrespect everything about our Constitution and traditions.

Might get flamed here but...

DHS ordering 450,000,000 rounds of handgun ammo over a five year contract does not seem out of line.

216,000 employees amounts to about 400 rounds per year, per employee. I would hope they would use up more than that on the practice range. I do.

I don't think the department should exist at all, but in light of the fact they do, these numbers don't really cause me any alarm as they do not seem unreasonable.
