Obama issues 'executive orders by another name'- USA Today

[Care4all]

Also note, the "Do Nothing Congress" of Truman...thus all of the executive orders by him....

These congresses under Obama have been labeled the "Do Nothing Congress" just like Truman's, I wonder if there is a comparison in how much Congress has accomplished in their years under the Do Nothing Congress of Truman vs. the Do Nothing Congress of Obama's?

That is a key point. While Obama was elected by a slim majority, and the tide is turning, he is by far the most unhinged destructive POTUS............. ever!

This will go like the other lawless moves from the commie. He will get this stuffed up his arse too.

Small Majority???
He was a clear winner by 4%.

And by the way, I want to see the Hard Rights complaints when Bush did it.

As for being destructive, he has done that alright... The Hard Right has been spouting a myth of doomsday since he was elected and he destroyed that.
Where's the Ebola lads? Weakened Putin without a shot fired?

Just kicking ass and taken names...

If Obama keeps going he will make a mockery of the Hard Right, leaving it to Clinton to finish them off...

Lets at Kansas when the Hard Right got there way...

The Hard Right in US is the laughing stock of the world, even when there policies are proven disaster as in Kansas they still continue on... Hard Right have failed policies proven to be just as bad a Communist ones.

And the last election proved that America does not share your opinion, matter of fact just the opposite.

Jesus, Obama was up for election in the mid terms... on what ballot?

The "Mockery" kicked Obama's party's ass. 32 states are controlled by Republicans. (think constitutional convention) The Republicans hold the biggest majority in Congress in history. That is a big repudiation, not by just the hard right but by Americans who cared enough to vote.

Just because the democrats who control congress let Obama get away with his stuff does not give him a mandate. You not seeing a problem with what he is doing is also not a mandate.

The states control is misnomer unless we want to compare Texas Democrats against Vermont Republicans.

As for Congress, Gerrymandering... Democrats dropped the ball on legislative control of redrawn districts.

Obama was elected by a hell of alot more people than congress was... He got a mandate for 4 years..

Yea, mandates for which SCOTUS repeatedly rule as unconstitutional,

Everyone knows that

I posted on this earlier in the week and they went ballistic

No one cares what he does anymore. but you wait if a Republican gets in and does half the crap he's done behind our backs heads will be exploding all over the place

Not hard to discern why the United States is going down the crapper. Obama is a lawless POTUS who rules, instead of govern, from the Imperial White House.

WASHINGTON — 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.

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.

Sen. Grassley: Obama plays word game with executive orders


Like executive orders, presidential memoranda don't require action by Congress. They have the same force of law as executive orders and often have consequences just as far-reaching. And some of the most significant actions of the Obama presidency have come not by executive order but by presidential memoranda.

Obama has made prolific use of memoranda despite his own claims that he's used his executive power less than other presidents. "The truth is, even with all the actions I've taken this year, I'm issuing executive orders at the lowest rate in more than 100 years," Obama said in a speech in Austin last July. "So it's not clear how it is that Republicans didn't seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions than I did."

Obama has issued 195 executive orders as of Tuesday. Published alongside them in the Federal Register are 198 presidential memoranda — all of which carry the same legal force as executive orders.

He's already signed 33% more presidential memoranda in less than six years than Bush did in eight. He's also issued 45% more than the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who assertively used memoranda to signal what kinds of regulations he wanted federal agencies to adopt.

Obama issues executive orders by another name

The use of memorandums allows Obama to claim he has written a smaller number of executive orders. Thus another left wing liberal piece of propaganda on Obama's part. Thanks for the info.
