26. I support Obama on this, you are right but there is more.

The Clinton amendment did not accomplish what the Obama one does.
Compare them side by side, and include the Reagan version and the 1950 act.

Certain key words have been changed. This EO does give the President powers the others did not.
This EO also is all inclusive which the others were not. This EO also gives the government the power to dictate to private businesses, issue guaranteed loans, and also ties up the banks in new and exciting ways.

Read all the versions and pay attention to any changes as they are very significant and far reaching. If Bush had done this I/We would be freaking out like never before, Obama doing this is a completely different story.

This was predicted / expected to happen after the election in November. Why he did it now is the most important question.
In actuality "National Defense" is only the premise used to enforce this order.

Read section 102 on the Clinton version, and the Obama version, the change was 1 word. That 1 word changes everything, and does change the EO to something completely different that is crafted of "need" as opposed to "Threat.

Need is a ubiquitous concept, threat is a very narrow one in comparison. That is only the second segment. Once you read the whole thing you understand the scope of it is unprecedented, and the very thing we need to neutralize the Conservative agenda, and ell the obstructionism practiced by the Republican congress.

We'll see.

This is the move I have been waiting for, and hoping I was not imagining he would do this. I thought he would do it in December after a won second term. He must know something we don't that allows him, or compels him to do it now.


Best
