I didn't say that, and I can't address it.


Answer this question; if these powers already belonged to the Oval office and there is nothing new here, what was the point of all the research that went into this executive order? Why was it written if it was completely unnecessary? Why was it signed on Friday but not released until Sunday? Answer these questions.


1) I did say these powers already belonged to the President under the Defense Production Act of 1950, but I didn't say there was nothing new here. I said this EO updates previous EOs that implement the Act. There have been significant changes in the structure of the Executive Branch, most notably the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, that this new EO recognizes. As for a lot of research going into this EO: I never worked in the White House, but I suspect a lot of research goes into any EO.

2) I never said the EO was unnecessary. The EO delegates the authorities given to the president by law and establishes the responsibilities of the various Executive Departments and structure of the executive organization to enact the law. This is a very common purpose for executive orders.

3) Why a two day delay from signing to posting? Beats me, but try as I might I can't find anything sinister in that. If it had been signed but never publicly released, I would have questions.

Have you read the executive order? What was your favorite part? Did you like the part about cars running on unicorn farts? Sorry, that was not in there.

Unicorn farts? Don't be rediculous, Obama wants us to use algae, that combined with putting more air in our tires should make us energy self sufficient in no time.

Just don't drill for more oil, that's crazy talk!

I say, that thanks to JD, this beloved country is about to be taken over by not just a Muslim...but a black one at that....and a non-American one, 'cause the good old Sherriff what's his name is on that trail.

So without question...thanks JD. Now why don't you head out to somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Keep your cellphone active.

Once things start falling apart, we will call you for advice on how to get where you are.

But we need to keep this hush-hush...so please don't call us, we will give you that first call, the minute we need to escape!!!!

And thanks ahead of time, for once again proving the level of intelligence gathering information you haves access to, and sharing,lol
