    Thank you Obama for teaching us all how easy it is to change laws we don't like via the magic of the "EXECUTIVE ORDER".

    Executive orders...
    History and use

    "All presidents beginning with George Washington in 1789 have issued orders that in general terms can be described as executive orders. Initially they took no set form. Consequently, such orders varied as to form and substance.[11] The most famous Executive Order was by President Abraham Lincoln when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Political scientist Brian R. Dirck states:

    "The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order, itself a rather unusual thing in those days. Executive orders are simply presidential directives issued to agents of the executive department by its boss."[12]
    "Until the early 1900s, executive orders went mostly unannounced and undocumented, seen only by the agencies to which they were directed. This changed when the Department of State instituted a numbering scheme in 1907, starting with an order issued on October 20, 1862, by President Abraham Lincoln. The documents that later came to be known as "Executive Orders" apparently gained their name from this document, captioned "Executive Order Establishing a Provisional Court in Louisiana."[6] President Franklin Roosevelt was the first to have an EO declared invalid."

    "OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE OF OBAMA AND HIS EXECUTIVE ORDERS!!!"
    (Pay no attention to the facts behind the curtain, that executive orders have been in use for two centuries.)

    It's one thing to pretend ignorance to start a conversation, but then Carson adds, "Why don't they just adopt the system we have?"

  9. Who gets to decide
    in simple terms :
    One is straight up an enemy and he doesn't make any bones about that.
    The other , he is simply a freeloader and a backstabber.

    So . . . the real issue is whom do i have more contempt for ?
