In reply to the discussion: New Executive Order Seizes Control over Civilian Activities [View all]Justice wanted
(2,657 posts)3. We would have been screaming if BUSH had sign this EO why should we feel comfortable with
Obama doing it. I'm sorry but ANY president signing these type of EOs just scare the hell out of me.
What we need to do is have Stan Lee's words etched in the oval office and in the halls of Congress for all these people to be reminded of-- "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBLITY"
EDIT trying to see the actual EO and can't get onto the White House website for some reason and when I went to search YAHOO I got something interesting. Websites like Ron Paul. Daily Paul Free Republic. Can someone PLEASE find the actual text and link to the White House EO page and post So we can actually read it.
Again I don't like any President doing a Grab BUT if this is some Jack-SHIT Winger Crap I'm going to scream.
