"With President Trump's controversial decision to call a state of emergency at the border, there has been a predictable amount of backlash. There is even a lawsuit between 16 states against the president to challenge his use of emergency powers. In the midst of all this, let us take a look back at the king of executive decisions: Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama.
Well, saying Obama is the king of executive orders is a bit misleading. In reality, he's tied for that crown with George W. Bush before him. The two presidents each enacted 12 national emergencies during their time in the White House."
Here are Obama's Declared 'National Emergencies':
1. Declaration of a National Emergency With Respect to the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic:
- 'This empowered the secretary of Health and Human Services to issues waivers that allowed overcrowded hospitals to move swine flu patients to satellite facilities or other hospitals.'

2. Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in Somalia:
- This was intended to help combat Somali pirates...because Somalian pirates are totally going to cross the US border.

3. Blocking Property and Prohibiting Certain Transactions Related to Libya:
- `This imposed sanctions of Muammar Gaddafi, his family and Libyan officials after protestors were killed by government forces.
** Little did we know that there was a hidden clause in this National Emergency that called for the President to later use the United States Military to help Al Qaeda, who slaughtered 3,000 Americans, kill Gaddafi and give Libya to Al Qaeda....

4. Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal Organizations:
- This sanction was levied against four criminal organizations
5. Blocking Property of Persons Threatening the Peace, Security or Stability of Yemen:
- This sanction was intended to counter unrest in Yemen in the aftermath of the Yemeni Revolution.
** Again, since Yemen is SO CLOSE to the United States and any unrest in Yemen would be a threat to US citizens, Obama had no choice but to declare this National Emergency.

6. Blocking Property of the Government of the Russian Federation Relating to the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted From Nuclear Weapons:
- Imposed sanctions on Russia over the disposal of highly enriched uranium.
7. Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine:
- Imposed sanctions, including restricting visas, in concert with the European Union and the international community against Russia after its invasion and occupation of Crimea.
** Despite breaking the US promise to help defend the Ukraine's sovereign borders and doing nothing to even rethink taking or to slow down Putting from militarily annexing Crimea, this was Barry's attempt to claim he did something AFTER Putin had taken Crimea.
8. Blocking Property of Certain Persons with Respect to South Sudan:
- This action enabled economic sanctions to be placed due to the civil war in South Sudan.
** Another 'INTER-national Emergency'
9. Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Conflict in the Central African Republic: -- This imposed sanctions against former Central African Republic president François Bozizé. It also contained provisions against using child soldiers.
10. Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela:
- Imposed sanctions on seven high-ranking Venezuelan government officials.
** Funny - Barry declared a 'NE' to sanction Socialist Venezuelan govt politicians...and now Democrats want to BE just like those Socialist politicians and want to turn the US into Venezuela.

11. Blocking the Property of Certain Persons Engaging in Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities:
- Intended to allow sanctions to be levied on foreign individuals determined by the Department of the Treasury to have engaged in cyber-crime or cyber-terrorism.
** Interesting...in 2015 Obama declared a 'NE' over cyber-crime that could impact the Treasury / Economy ... but in 2014 when Obama found out the Russians were attempting to hack Senior US Govt Officials, attempting to hack our Power Grind, running a successful Counter-Intel Op using social media, and was paying willing liberal groups to spread racial division and violence - all an Act of War - Barry chose to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
12. Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Burundi:
- Imposed sanctions on four Burundi nationals in the wake of widespread unrest.
** Burundi, btw, is yet ANOTHER African nation that offers no significant impact, let alone threat, to the US; yet, Barry declared a 'NATIONAL EMERGENCY' over it....

Not one word was said by snowflakes when Obama declared these.
Meanwhile, snowflakes are losing their minds over Trump's declaration of a 'National Emergency' over our Southern Border, which Barak Obama / Nancy Pelosi / Schumer all called a national Emergency / Crisis at one point in the past.

All the Times Obama Called for a National Emergency
