Do you not work and instead sit in front of the computer searching my name for posts so that you can respond to them? Or do you sit in front of the computer searching my name for posts so you can respond to them while you're at "work"? It's one or the other.

a) if you have to ask, then you'll never know.

b) if you think the issue (or lack thereof) involves Obama's possession of a writing utensil, then see a), above.

So Obama is well well below the average of EO's for each president but for some reason... I don't know what it is, the far right screams panic when he does what every other president has done or doesn't do when no other president has done.


are you disingenuously suggesting that the number of EOs is what's important v. the substance/scope/reach of same?

If you can't read my posts, then don't respond.

Obama is issuing EOs. He is well behind all other presidents in the past century. This has never been an issue. It's not an issue now. Not for sensible people.

But for people who want him to do what no other president has ever done (release his BC, release his transcripts, release his papers, release his SS records, release his scholarship records, and not to do what every other president has done, and that includes issuing executive orders, then there's an issue.

My pointing out the stupidity of this thread and you is free. Take advantage of my free advice. Stop being stupid.

What are your thoughts on the context of the article linked and/or portions quoted?


Context?

You think VB cares about context? He saw "Obama has a pen" and that's all his mind could handle. Any deeper thought requires permission from his Liberal masters.

More stupidity.

OK last free advice.

No where in this story, no where in any story, no where in fact does it state that Obama's EO's orders are any different than any other president.

If someone is being "disingenuous", it is you who project your own misguided thoughts on actual facts.

In the future, if you'd like me to correct your stupidity, you'll have to be charged. Paypal will do.

Whether its appointing czars or ignoring the War Powers Act or not enforcing a particular statute or people getting killed in foreign embassies, for some reason when it's this president, we see panic from the Right.


Holy shite. You just jumped right off the deep end didn't you. Went from minor issues to this.

Bush released his undergrad transcripts, no idea on his graduate transcripts. McCain released his during the campaign. Reagans from Eureka College are available for perusal at his library.

Don't know about the rest, took just a few minutes to check those.

clever.

and I'm not going to continue this e-fight, because you are absurd.

Over and out after--From the article in the OP:

quote:

[Presbo said] he was "getting close" to finishing a review of U.S. surveillance practices - to be unveiled on Friday.

Obama, speaking to reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House, foreshadowed his upcoming State of the Union address and what appeared to be a new messaging strategy by emphasizing his ability to take executive actions without approval from lawmakers.

"We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help that they need," he said.


So, yes, this is about the substance of the orders. Anything he deems fit to HELP. HELP, it's like HOPE in ACTION. WHEEEEEEEE.

Side note: You brought up other presidents, not the OP nor I. And, even if other modern-era presidents issued all sorts of unconstitutional orders--as many as or more than Obama has/plans to--we are judging Obama qua Obama on this.

You know, all that hope, change, etc.

So which is it? Is he the same or different? Never mind. I'm out. Peace.

No he did not. At least not until the New Yorker released some of his worse grades. He released them to show he wasn't that stupid.

quote:

George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post.
LINK No other president has done so.
quote:

McCain released his during the campaign
McCain has never been president.
quote:

Reagans from Eureka College are available for perusal at his library.
After he died. He never released them.

You were wrong on each one.

No other president released them except Bush and he did after some had already been released.

Really have to go now.

It's been fun.
