from the article before it was high jacked

snip:
Obama has issued executive orders to give federal employees the day after Christmas off, to impose economic sanctions and to determine how national secrets are classified. He’s used presidential memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations. Tuesday, he used a memorandum to declare Bristol Bay, Alaska, off-limits to oil and gas exploration.

So when you add up all of of these hortatory memoranda and the actual executive orders, Barack Obama goes from issuing the fewest executive orders in the last century to being the guy who issued the most since Truman. But I think everyone had a pretty good sense of that already, didn’t we?

Wow, Stuphie really is a fucking hag. Rick Scott did the same thing with State employees. Practically every time the great Christian holiday falls near a weekend an extra day is given at the last minute.

Gov. Scott OKs extra paid holiday to state workers

State workers are getting the day after Christmas off as a paid holiday.

For the fourth year in a row Gov. Rick Scott has directed state offices to be closed an extra day. The last two years state workers got Christmas Eve off. In 2011 state employees received Dec. 23 off since Christmas Eve fell on a weekend.

That stinking rat bastard! He's thinks state employees are MORE SPECIAL!

In a memo sent Friday...

A MEMO! A FUCKING MEMO! SON OF A BITCH!!!

If Barack Obama had hoped that his decision to unilaterally extend diplomatic relations to communist Cuba following a prisoner exchange would be warmly greeted by the Cuban-American population, he was disappointed by the reaction from Democratic and Republican members of Congress representing that constituency.
“President Obama’s actions have vindicated the brutal behavior of the Cuban government,” said Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the outgoing chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in a statement.

from the article

snip:
UPDATE: Rep. Ros-Lehtinen has released a statement condemning Obama’s move:
“The liberalization policies aimed at easing trade and remittances to Cuba is another propaganda coup for the Castro brothers, who will now fill their coffers with more money at the expense of the Cuban people. It is quite possible that this unilateral action by the President without Congressional consultation is in violation of the following U.S. laws: Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996, Cuban Democracy Act of 1992, and the Trading with the Enemy Act. The White House attempts to normalize relationships with Cuba without the approval of Congress may be in direct violation of Helms-Burton that specifically states that all political prisoners must be released and free and fair elections must be held before establishing a diplomatic relationship. This misguided action by President Obama will embolden the Castro regime to continue its illicit activities, trample on fundamental freedoms, and disregard democratic principles.”

You’ve heard it over and over again from liberal outlets. Barack Obama has issued fewer executive orders than any President in the past century. Well, as it turns out, we’ve all fallen for a bit of linguistic juggling which should have come to light before now. It seems that it may indeed be true that the current Oval Office occupant is behind the curve on “executive orders” but he more than makes up for it when you add in all of the presidential memorandum which have flown off his desk.

President Obama has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.
When these two forms of directives are taken together, Obama is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman battled the “Do Nothing Congress” almost seven decades ago, according to a USA TODAY review of presidential documents.

Stephanie, you are losing your mind and need to stop going to these sites that are whipping you up in to a frenzy....

It is COMMON PLACE for Presidents to issue an extra day off when Christmas Falls on a Thursday....

THIS ISN'T ABOUT OBAMA as you want to make it to be and you look ridiculous by not doing your own research on this before you have one of these tizzy fits that you have shown here...and the other republicans that have chimed in....

Honestly, it truly does appear that Republicans are causing all of this trouble and having all of these tizzy fits, merely because he is a black President and not a white President....

Is that really and truly what you Republicans want to portray? Is it?

So next time you decide to let these sites drive you in to your madness, maybe you should do some research YOURSELF instead of letting the crazies, do it for you in a half ass way?

This article is from last year and about last year's Christmas but it explains enough for you to understand that THIS IS WHAT ALL PRESIDENTS DO.

When federal employees learn whether Congress will cut their take-home pay through pension contribution hikes in the coming days, the workforce will quickly turn its attention to another December deadline.

Many federal employees will soon start wondering whether President Obama will give them an extra vacation day on Christmas Eve.

Obama granted feds Dec. 24 off last year 2012, when Christmas fell on a Tuesday. That set up a four-day weekend for the federal workforce. Generally, when Christmas is on a Tuesday the president grants employees leave on Christmas Eve. When it falls on a Thursday, presidents typically grant an extra vacation day on Friday, Dec. 26.

This year, however, Christmas is on a Wednesday, and Christmas Eve falls on Tuesday. Historically, this has been bad news for federal workers. While feds got half days off on Dec. 24 in 1946 and 1957, they were forced to work their regular schedules -- both on Dec. 24 and Dec. 26 -- when Christmas fell on a Wednesday in 1963, 1968, 1974, 1985, 1991 and 1996. Most recently, however, President Bush gave the federal workforce a half day off on Christmas Eve in 2002, also a Tuesday.
