Hate to agree with rightwinger on this one.. but the Prez of the US is usually considered the most powerful person on earth

 

[Care4all]

This will be the case with whomever is the president of the USA.

Hate to agree with you but yours is a true statement.

 

[Claudette]

Gotta agree. The Prez of the US is the most powerful man on the planet. Doesn't matter whether he is liked or hated. He is the one with the power. God, what a scary thought.

 

[Single Dad]

He is probably the most powerful man on the planet as President of the United States.

On a related note I also just took a HUGE Obama!.... I feel much lighter now. That was a three flusher and required over 25 squares of Nancy Pelosi to wipe.

Now wait a second...just 9 months ago the military was falling apart, we were a second rate power and the entire world hated America and the entire country was full of poor people.

I wish you clowns would make up your minds.

Obama is nothing more than the titular head of a powerful group of handlers. He has less control over what happens than do the controllers of the money being used to accomplish the march toward Marxism.

Do you actually think he does or knows anything unless Rohm tells him what to do?

Bernanke has more control of the economy than Obama. Obama can keep spending and bury it, but Bernanke has to manage the rates to keep it afloat.

Then there are the generals and the wars. Obama keeps voting "PRESENT". Terrorists see the weakness.....OMG just like Biden predicted he'd be tested.....wow...

Obama refuses to fix SS and Medicare, and refuses to stop the outflow of factories & jobs.

He keeps waiting for the stimulus to work, but thats only a temp credit card "fix", not good long term jobs.

All Obama knows is "campaign mode". I remember "when you're in a hole...stop digging". Pity he can't take his own advice.

He intends to stay in power or at least purify the government
So his influence out live his administration
Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service


Remember how the Democrats reacted when the Bush Administration started replacing U.S. Attorneys? At least they were actually political appointees employed at the will and whim of the President.

“This is what happens in third world kleptocracies and totalitarian regimes.”
Via Instapundit comes word that the federal government’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to purge the federal government of Republican civil servants all in the name of purify the federal bureaucracy.

You can read the OPM memo here.

It is a typical Washington process that many political appointees are able to take jobs within the civil service once their political appointment expires — usually at the conclusion of one administration. What often happens as well is Congressional staffers, before an election or shortly thereafter, will move over to the Executive Branch placed into the civil service, in effect, by appointment.

So, for example, when George Bush became President in 2001, a number of Clinton political appointees became civil service employees. As a result, they became subject to civil service hiring and firing rules, which meant they could no longer be replaced simply for having been a Democratic appointee.

Barack Obama is changing that. He intends to purge all Republicans from the federal bureaucracy retroactive to five years ago.

Under his new rules, made retroactive for five years, the Office of Personnel Management will examine civil service employees who got their start as political appointees in the Bush administration and terminate those employees. The order is retroactive to 2004, that moment when a number of Republican congressional staffers and others sought to embed into the second Bush administration right after the election.

According to John Berry, the Director of OPM:

Beginning January 1, 2010, agencies must seek prior approval from OPM before they can appoint a current or recent political appointee to a competitive or non-political excepted service position at any level under the provisions of title 5, United States Code. OPM will review these proposed appointments to ensure they comply with merit system principles and applicable civil service laws. I have delegated decisionmaking authority over these matters to career Senior Executives at OPM to avoid any hint of political influence.

The memorandum goes on to apply this change to civil servants who were political appointees in the last five years, in effect freezing these employees out of other positions, denying them promotions, and forcing them out of their jobs.

No one is allowed to stand in the way of Barack Obama’s agenda, including his own bureaucracy. This is what happens in third world kleptocracies and totalitarian regimes.

This is scary stuff.

Just for perspective: remember the Democrats threatened to throw Bush administration people in jail for firing United States Attorneys who happened to be Democrats. In that case, it was clear as crystal that U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President and he can fire them whenever he wants. In this case, these people are now civil service employees who do not serve at the pleasure of the President and cannot be fired just because they are Republicans. in fact, the law is very clear on that point.

The same old "Obama is not capable of independent thought" BS the wingnuts have been shovelling. It is just a continuation of the Obama can't speak without a teleprompter nonsense.

Does anyone have any evidence that Obama is not calling the shots?

 

[Claudette]

Jeeze Patek, obviously you've forgotten this is OBAMA the great. He walks on water. He can part the Red Sea. Rules GM, Banks, kisses the Unions ass every chance he gets. He signs huge Porkulus bills and will sign any old healthcare bill that happens to stray cross his desk. Don't be concerned that neither he nor anyone else will bother to read it but thats neither here nor there.

Come on. Get Real. The minute he took office our country was destined to be back to its former glory just by His Highness sitting on the throne. Obama the First. Has a nice ring to it doncha know??
