WASHINGTON - February 12, 2010 - With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, illegitimate President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.
Obama has not given up hope of progress on Capitol Hill, aides said, and has scheduled a session with Republican leaders on health care for later this month. But in the aftermath of a special election in Massachusetts that cost Democrats unilateral control of the Senate, the White House is getting ready to act on its own in the face of partisan gridlock heading into the midterm campaign.
“We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Rahm Emanuel, the White House Chief of Staff.
Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat. Obama’s success this week in pressuring the Senate to confirm 27 nominations by threatening to use his recess appointment power demonstrated that executive authority can also be leveraged to force action by Congress.
Obama has already decided to create a bipartisan budget commission under his own authority after Congress refused to do so. His illegitimate regime has signaled that it plans to use its discretion to soften enforcement of the ban on openly homosexual men and lesbians serving in the military, even as Congress considers repealing the law. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency is moving forward with possible regulations on heat-trapping gases blamed for climate change, while a bill to cap such emissions languishes in the Senate.
In an effort to demonstrate forward momentum, the White House is also drawing more attention to the sorts of actions taken regularly by Cabinet departments without much fanfare. The White House heavily promoted an export initiative announced by Commerce Secretary Gary Locke last week and nearly $1 billion in health care technology grants announced on Friday by Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and Hilda L. Solis, the Labor Secretary.
White House officials said the increased focus on executive authority reflected a natural evolution from the first year to the second year of any presidency.
“The challenges we had to address in 2009 ensured that the center of action would be in Congress,” said Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director. “In 2010, executive actions will also play a key role in advancing the agenda.”
Ed. Note: So when the bogus president cannot get his agenda passed through Congress, he turns to dictatorship! Remember that Executive Orders only apply to the Executive Branch of the federal government. No president can make law by Executive Order. Obama is a two-bit dictator who needs to be forcibly removed from the office he has usurped. He is guilty of high crimes, including treason! When is enough, enough? Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
