War Powers Act…. Will BHO Really Break It?
News Stories:
Boehner says House could move to cut off funding for Libya – TheHill.com:
Analysis: NATO first to blink in Gaddafi’s war of nerves – Yahoo! News:
Is BHO really going to be the first President since the War Powers Act was created to break it? Not a President in the pass, Democrat or Republic party ever broke that law. In fact most have requested Congressional approval before even the first plane left the ground en route.
But what really makes me wonder what BHO used as a reason he didn’t have to get Congressional okay was his view of what aggression is. He stated that the US was not in the middle of hostilities… Just because he has sent planes dropping 500lb bombs and Navy ships launching Tomahawk missiles into Libya to hit the Presidential Palace… Nope that isn’t hostilities… So was Pearl Harbor a hostile attack on the US? I guess in BHO’s mind it must have been just target practice…

Where’s the left protests
News Story: Libya Crisis: Obama Gives Moammar Gadhafi Ultimatum – ABC News:
So where is the left’s protests over this new war?
I mean Bush was slammed repeatedly for going to war with Congressional approval. He was compared to Hitler and Stalin. He was accused of war for oil and etc… But BHO is still in both wars, Gitmo is still open and he is now taking us into a new war but without Congressional approval.
So where is the crying from the left about BHO? Why is he not being compared to brutal leaders like Bush was? Why does he get a free pass from the media?
Oh that’s right… Foolish me for thinking that the king should be like all other Presidents and follow the same rules…

Just what we need!!
So do you like how the FCC, DOE, DOA, DOL, DHHS, DHUD, or the many other cabinets under the President can just make laws without Congress or the President having veto powers. Oh, yes that is what these departments do and have been doing since they were created. They are in a bubble where they can make laws without your representatives or the President being able to stop them. You see, the President gets to pick the department head with Congressional approval, but he can only rely on the Congress to create laws that counter the departments lawmaking or he can fire the department head. Then because the department is in the executive branch, the Congress can’t tell them what to do except via making laws to counter the department and then count of the President to sign those congressional laws in law. Makes you wonder where your representative government is at doesn’t it.
So, now that the great Obamacare health care bill has in it the ability for the President to create a new department and appoint his Chief of Staff’s (Rahm Emanuel) brother,Ezekiel Emanuel. Now if you didn’t know anything about Ezekiel, well he is all for the NHS’s style filtering of the elderly from getting medical treatment that may allow them to live into old age. That’s right, he is all for convincing peole to die before they become a “problem” on the health care system. Don’t believe me? Then just check out the link below…

C’mon, that will never happen in America
MOST OF ALL OF THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the history of the United States ?
1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of America ‘s largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government?
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America .”
2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the US Big-Three automakers: GM, and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO’s of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government?
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!”
3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 21 Czars, without congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions. That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy.
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!”
4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency – with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion – triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would pass Obama’s $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010…. That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion.
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!”
5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan . That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list.
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!”
6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public.
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!!”
7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America’s past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela ‘s strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America
Would you have said, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!!”
8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new “Fairness Doctrine.” That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media in communist countries?
Would you say, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!!!”
9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that requires the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama’s Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense.
Would you say, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!!!”
10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people. That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production, the environment, health care, and the wealth of every US citizen.
Would you say, “C’mon, that will never happen in America!”
11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently held in Iran .. (And maybe under review by ACORN.)
I know, I know what you will say. “That will never happen in America!”
If we don’t do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2010…May God have mercy on our worthless souls. Pass this on to every freedom loving American you know. Thank you.
