Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans
The following represents an E-Mail I
recently received from an anonymous source along with my comments:
Do take the time to read this! This is
the most discerning political statement of all the pre-election material
received by email or postal service delivery. This is not a political party
appeal. It is a plea for your help in preserving our Freedom. We
must garner support within each of our communities to counter the Obama master
plan.

To: Americans everywhere
I was sitting at my keyboard halfway through
my writing a letter to you about how Barack Obama was fulfilling his pledge to
"Transform America" by "Changing the fundamentals of
America", so that our government would become the plantation, he the
owner, and we the slaves, when this article by Steve McCann appeared in my
inbox. After checking it for accuracy, and finding it so, I put my writing on
hold and here present it to you, for I could not say it better. ...Is it already too
late?
Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans
The 2012 election has often been described
as the most pivotal since 1860. This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack
Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the
same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most
dominant nation in the history of mankind.
The overwhelming majority of Americans do
not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place
executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign
promise of "transforming America" in his second
term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his
re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective
Democratic Party office holders.
The most significant accomplishment of
Obama's first term is to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly
loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded
in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial
presidency.
During the first two years of the Obama
administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of
Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws
were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually unlimited power to
the executive branch.
The birth of multi-thousand page laws was
not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by
Obama appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written
laws and enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress
would subsequently write.
For example, in the 2,700 pages of ObamaCare
there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human
Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that
they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they
"may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action.
On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines."
In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in
charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully
operational in 2014.
The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the
Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various
agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment
sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall
process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent
of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled by Barack Obama
and his radical associates.
Additionally, the Obama administration has,
through its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created
laws out of whole cloth. The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily
basis issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify
and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green
agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior
Departments among many others.
None of these extra-constitutional actions
have been challenged by Congress. The left in America knows this
usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless stopped in its early
stages.
It is clearly the mindset of this
administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be
ignored after they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the
Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in
the current Congress.
Additionally, Barack Obama knows after his
re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not be able to enact
any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to the Executive
Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as there will always
be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the Senate in
agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing to use Chicago style political
tactics.
The stalemate between the Executive and
Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow
leftists.
The most significant power Congress has is
the control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them.
However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do
or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only
threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those
dependent on government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a
Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering
their ability to control the administration through spending constraints.
Further, this administration has shown
contempt for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling
moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress.
The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part
of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a
second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more
blatant as he will not have to be concerned with re-election.
Who will be there to enforce the rule of
law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No. Barack Obama and his
fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over the American
people.
Many Republicans and conservatives
dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are
instead focused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and
necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated. The nation is not
dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded
purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds
during his first term, he does not intend to work with Congress either
Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather to force his radical
agenda on the American people through the power he has usurped or been granted.
The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the
founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral
character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However, knowing that
was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and
independent branches as a check on each other.
What they could not imagine is the surrender
and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental
branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity
coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the
chief executive ignores them.
Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican
Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their
historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal.
All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling
Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

I would add but 6 words to those above
mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney,
to say "and we the American people also", must come to grips with
this moment in time and our role in denying Barack Obama his life long goal of
"transforming" us into his slaves working on his government
plantation.

I would add as examples of Obama’s power
grab:
They selectively enforce the laws by-
Refusing to prosecute persons/groups who
intimate voters but at the same time they prosecute Rodger Clemens for
allegedly doing what Eric Holder does all of the time.
Refusing to enforce the laws already on the
books which prohibit hiring of undocumented workers.
Refusing to submit to Congress’s request for
documents re fast and furious.
Making the Dream Act law through executive
order even though Congress has refused to pass the law.
They use fast and furious as fuel to fire at
gun ownership. At the same time Obama, Hilary and Holder were raving
about the allegation that Mexico’s gun problem was
caused by the USA’s gun laws; the
United States Government was facilitating illegal gun shipments to the outlaws
in Mexico. It was never
ordinary US citizens who were shipping guns to Mexico. It was our own
Government. Most citizens are aware of the severe consequences of
bootlegging guns to another Nation and as a result they would not do such a
thing. It was our Government trying to provide propaganda for blaming our
citizens for causing the gun violence in Mexico and therefore promoting gun controls.
Illinois, the President’s
and Holder’s home state) is the only state in the Union that flatly forbids law-abiding citizens from carrying
operable firearms in public for self-defense (concealed carry permits). Illinois attempts to defend
this ban as a public safety measure, asserting that mayhem would ensue if
law-abiding citizens were licensed to bear weapons in public. The
inconvenient truth that every other state in the nation allows some form of
public carriage of firearms by at least some private, law-abiding citizens—and
does so without fostering the mayhem forecast by the Defendants here (studies
show the allowing some form of concealed carry results in reduced violence
crime)—gives the lie to Illinois's pleas that firearms in the hands of
any and all law-abiding citizens are uniquely a threat to public safety in this
state, even if nowhere else in America.”
At the same time Americans have a better chance of being
killed in Chicago than U.S. troops do in Afghanistan, figures from the
nation’s third-largest city show. This year 228 Chicago residents have been
killed, while the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan during the same
period is 144, The Huffington Post reported. There were 15 murders in
Chicago the night before
July 4, 2012. The news comes
amidst some bad PR for the Chicago Police Department—this month it assigned 100
officers to the wedding of the daughter of a White House adviser, Valerie
Jarrett. The department has been proactive in trying to quell the violence,
offering officers overtime pay for working their days off and deploying a large
number of officers to high crime areas, like downtown where a “mob-style” attack have occurred recently.
It’s not just this year that Chicago outpaced Afghanistan in terms of deaths
by violence, either. Since 2001 more than 5,000 people have been killed by
gunfire in Chicago, and during that
same period 2,000 U.S. troops were killed
in Afghanistan, Chicago’s WBEZ 91.5 reported. The murder rate in Chicago is twice that of Los Angeles and four times
higher than New York’s rate, and in
recent weeks the Windy City has had some
high-profile incidents. Warmer weather has brought a surge in gun violence,
with more expected at the upcoming Puerto Rican Festival and the large crowds
it draws, The Huffington Post reported. Garry McCarthy, Chicago’s police
superintendent, said the city’s rate is actually improving but that it deals
with a “perception problem,” the Chicago Tribune reported. Chicago’s homicide
statistics have actually improved in the past two years, he noted.
So much for gun control! We need to
enforce the law and make a distinction between legal and illegal guns.
Otherwise, we just leave the guns in the hands of the criminals, i.e.,
Chicago. It is inconceivable for me to understand why the administration
believes outlawing guns will solve gun violence given the fact that they have
tried it in Illinois. I would just
ask Obama, Holder and Hillary “how’s that working for you?”
And by the way, the EPA is being had been
encouraged to outlaw lead bullets used by hunters due to their environmental
effects. This is just another form of gun control.
Finally, if given a second term, they will
in all probability be able to install two or three Supreme Court
justices. This could potentially change the leaning of the court for 30
or 40 years. The ability to do this might be more important than any
other reason to deny Obama a second term. It is critical that people
begin to realize the importance of this potential action.
