Interesting read.
But it all makes sense � the steps are in place to totally take over this country� Note that this was written over a month before Obama's illegal Executive Order providing amnesty for over 800,000 illegal immigrants, a good example of what McCann predicted Obama will continue to do if re-elected... A frightening prospect.

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 worshiping 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 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 one.� 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.

As soon as I read about the "2700 pages of Obamacare" I knew the rest of this guy's rant was bulls**t. I don't believe a single thing he says because at that point he lost all credibility.
I can sit here and refute everything he says but it's all been done again and again and again intense posts and it's just not worth time any more. So go right ahead and hunker down for the coming apocalypse.

Just more whining by the right.
In the end at least Obama has core values that he believes in, whether you agree with them or not. Romney on the other hand panders to whoever he's talking to at the time.
Romney's newest campaign slogan: "Vote for Romney, he agrees with you today, or tomorrow, or maybe the next day, or next week or whatever, just wait long enough, he changes all the time."

So did Hitler, Stalin, Mao and many other tyrants. It can be a good or evil trait so it proves nothing as to your man's worth. I'm no fan of Romney and will not be voting for him but your man is not a viable or smart choice either.

I agree we all need to be vigilant, and not allow our government to just run away with itself. I do not want a president who has a "vision" for America. I want a President who is responsive to his constituency, whether his name is Obama, or Romney. The media seems to overplay the personal values of this candidate or that candidate, and it shouldn't really matter. It's okay to have a president who's "filthy rich" if he's able to overlook personal involvement and respond to the wishes of the constituency. It IS helpful if he's smart. Romney's academic performance at least is not veiled in secrecy as Obama's is.
Romney (through Bain) has a record of taking failing businesses and saving some (not all) of them, which is similar to the sort of procedure our country needs.
I'm extremely disappointed that so many people are just as polarized as our "Crippled Congress". Republicans think that Democrats are totally incapable of having a good idea, and vice-versa...this just can't be true! Our men and women in Congress should, by diversity, come up with the best of the best, and yet they seem bent on killing each other in combat, or just staring each other down from across the room. Our Senate is in a state of virtual retirement (thanks, Harry). Our House of Representatives is high-centered on a rock, or something, and the wheels are just spinning.
At least there are no big mysteries as to what needs to be done!
There...I said it!

Blathering bullsheiss!
President Obama stopped the Republican Party's destructive control over America as witnessed in the reign of terror conducted by George Bush and his infamous Vice President, the profiteering hard ass known as Cheney.
These toadies led us into a war via fabricated evidence, and set the stage for their plundering Wall Street cronies to work their wrath on our economy, Moreover these creatures frequently attempted to bathe themselves in the spirit of Christianity, which is totally blasphemous.
When I see this version of fascism defended on UHH, I ponder about where these pundits gathered their facts. Wherever that may be, publishing such crap does not attest to a high quality of diligent thought.
All the best,
Martin.

Not till election day!!! I doubt if anything said on this board of comments will change anyone's mind for or against Obama. But one thing for sure, he has ruined this country, big time! When he wrote that book ... rather when Bill Ayers wrote it for him, Dreams From My Father, he wanted to do as his Daddy wanted to do in Africa, but died before he accomplished any of it.
Obama is for who ever will get him back in the White House. He knows the Unions are his biggest asset, then young women voters, and all die hard Democrats. No one can change their minds about him.... just as no one can change my mind about him. People say he's like Jimmy Carter.... well the way I see it.. he's WORSE than Jimmy Carter. He gives people things ONLY for their votes - no other reason. He's the biggest spender this country has ever seen. If all the money he has spent on stuff came out of his pocket, I guarantee you... he would stop the spending. He's doing NOTHING but BUYING his followers votes!!!

Please, please, please America.... understand that a vote for anyone other than Romney, is a vote for Obama, as third party candidates will never win. Even though you may not like Romney, at least a vote for him can help ensure that Obama is not returned to office.

Why don't you just go ahead and tell everyone to vote for Bush again. Romney is Bush. America cannot support 4 more years of Bush. Bush economics have already damn near killed America. And Romney had a big hand in it. He sent a lot of our jobs over seas. Do you really hate America that much? If so go join another country!

Hell yes! I was there! I remember it well.
I remember also Richard Nixon, also played his cards for victory over those commie fiends. Stalwart Republican that he was.
And speaking of 'Nam, do you know how much money Cheney's Halliburton buddies banked while employed there for the sake of democracy?

I see alot of "Kool aid Drinkers" in here. Thus, i truly can not believe that you do not or refuse to see what is happening right under your very noses with Obama in charge.
The least of the two evils is apparent, but to stay under the control and communism of Obama is wrong. Time for real change and its not Obama for a second term.
