Obama says legal team will review executive orders that ‘trample on liberty’
- Text size
Associated Press
July 29, 2008
WASHINGTON – Barack Obama told House Democrats on Tuesday that as president he would order his attorney general to scour White House executive orders and expunge any that “trample on liberty,” several lawmakers said.
Presidents, as head of the executive branch of government, issue such orders to direct operations of executive branch agencies, like the Justice Department and the CIA. For example, President Bush used an executive order last year to breathe new life into the CIA’s controversial terror interrogation program that allowed harsh questioning of suspects.
Obama “talked about how his attorney general is to review every executive order and immediately eliminate those that trample on liberty,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.
“He indicated there would be a review in his administration,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the House majority whip.

Obama did not mention executive orders when he addressed reporters who waited for him outside the closed-door meeting. He said only that he would be campaigning alongside members to win the presidency and help expand Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.
“I am looking forward to collaborating with everyone here to win the election, but more importantly to collaborate with everybody here and also some like-minded Republicans to actually govern and to deliver on behalf of the American people,” Obama said.
During his presidency, Bush increasingly has relied on executive orders to dictate policies without seeking congressional approval. His orders have ranged from restrictions on striped bass fishing to sanctions against Myanmar’s government.
Obama did not indicate who his attorney general would be, or any other member of his Cabinet. To lawmakers who asked about his Cabinet plans, Obama said: “Get me elected, and then I’ll worry about the Cabinet,” according to Nadler.
Clyburn added that Obama said there were “people in the room with more expertise than him.”
Obama’s meeting with the House Democratic caucus came hours after he spoke with both Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke about the faltering economy, part of his effort to refocus the campaign on domestic issues after last week’s foreign trip.
Obama spokesman Michael Ortiz said the senator and Bernanke discussed the outlook for consumers and businesses, as well as the effect of rising home foreclosures on families nationwide. They also talked about the “strengths of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other financial institutions,” Ortiz said.

Yeah. Liberty for the Elites.

He will just change the words, and keep the policy. He is scum. And the media and the brain dead public will let him do whatever he (or his handlers) wants. McCain or Obama no matter, the policy stays the same.

If this is the case, I say we hold him to this pledge. Both Executive Orders and Signing Statements are absolutely unconstitutional. -period-

What a joke……give me a break, as a Canadian I am sick of this crap. The current administration is not legal in any sense of the term…..bill of rights, HAHAHA. Constitution….what constitution?
Face it the world is a pawn in the hands of the global elitist and the industrial military complex plays polictics and fake wars better then any government.

All the while crafting bills that will take much more from the sheeple’s paychecks and finances to give it all away to the rest of the world. Trample on Liberty? LOL
Just cherry picking according to what is right in his own eyes.
Next question?

Not a problem! I’m sure if you can prove your bloodline, then you too can be a recipient of the Great American Give-a-way! However, just remember, it wasn’t my ancestors that screwed yours. My ancestors didn’t own slaves either. Are you ready to pay for the mistakes of your ancestors, or better yet…pay for the errant deeds of someone else’s ancestors folly and mindset decades ago? Remembering also, this current generation griping for reparations, didn’t suffer and want to benefit monetarily for something that happened to someone they didn’t even know long long ago.. We could circle the globe doing this with no ending. We never seem to want to learn from the past, just get paid for it.
Gee can someone pay me a lump sum for all the mis-deeds done to me personally by others? Just where is my lawyers cell number ?
One day I will rule the world!!!

I dont know if this is the right place to put this comment but in my opinion I would love to see this site support an online text chat or better yet voice chat. Think of the resposes that would come in to this site maybe even overloading the servers. Perhaps even recording sessions and putting the conversations on youtube as this could be a way of being our own “FOX” news supporting a REVOLUTION not only by forums alone but by voice. Maybe we can “Be an Army of One” and have Ron Paul as our general.

What’s up with Infowars holding it’s punches with Obama. Is Alex a secret liberal? Obama is a piece of crap like McCain. Did you guys here his Germany speech? Holy cow…an outline for a bigger world government and expansion to the UN. Yet no article about it on Infowars that I saw.
July 31st, 2008 at 11:43 am
If we are going to defeat the possiblity of Obamanation, McInsane, or Bush or Cheney becoming dicatator for longer, then, for every Obama article, their should be a McCain Article. Ron Paul? Millions of tax payers money for shrimp research with ear-marks. Who told ‘The Exchange’, a New Hampshire Public Radio Show, before a GOP Debate, approx. 2 ago, that he would be for sending military troops to China. Same kind of plan that these John Birchers who occupied The GOP in the 60’s, who got us into Vietnam along with The War Hawk Democrats, did. Do you have idea what would happen if we sent military troops to China? This is how we are going to get out of debt with them? Shame on Alex Jones and gcnlive.com! Just Say No! Dont’ Vote! Shut them all down! The best vote you could ever make this time around! Ron Paul is a fraud! A John Birch Soceity Council On Foreign Relations Front! Who would just kick the poor in the teeth even more with welfare deform! WAKE UP ALEX JONES! Stop trying to bait and switch us!

#13 DK …. Infowars did several articles on Obama’s speech in Germany. One was called “Obama calls for a new world order. or something like that. It was posted the day after he did the speech.
In the defense of Infowars, they pulling punches on Obama no more than they pull them with McCain or even Hillary. I see articles on him almost everyday here.

here is the infowars article after Obama’s speech.

I want to vomit every time I hear a politician talking about doing things “on behalf of the American people”. Bush is a great one for throwing that around.
Obama wants to take the USA toward world government. That is what he is all about. When someone asked him about the North American Union, he pretended not to know what that was.
Look at his mannerisms when he talks. Look at how he holds himself. He’s an “elite”, a globalist, and that is all he is.

Riddle Me This
Your question does lead to some interesting quandaries. For example, would they pay reparations according to skin color-obvious ethnicity, or will it be by bloodline(s) with genetic testing or sheer ancestry and birth records.
Not all dark skinned ethnic peoples were from Africa.
To play both sides, I guess anyone could say they were from Africa being that ‘they’ (whoever they are) say we all came from one female person from Africa.
So, I guess we’re in the same ethical boat, and we can pay reparations to ourselves!
yyyyeeeeeeessss!

Haha… expansion to the U.N. The U.N. is a joke. Countless countries have “disobeyed” U.N. rules (not just America) and no one does anything about it. Mostly because one country would have to take action and thus risk alienating themselves if other countries do not support them.

Obama, who is a super-Globalist, talking about liberties is a joke.
Why doesn’t he make that a major campaign promise? Obviously because bringing up that topic casts one in an unfavorable light with the powers that be.
He is a disgusting politcian who will say anything to get his ass in power, end of story.

Regarding the young (not even graffitti artist)(say self-expressive, cautioner saving others,unawares (a hero!) freedom of speecher (literally hangin’ it on th’ wall-sticker) a misdemeanour youth prank no more! ah but the lunatics running the Asylum, “…the paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more.”(PF) Seeking any spot or immeasurable speck of indignity or approach labelled “Infowars 911 Trurh Rising” And JUST BECAUSE it says what it does is the boy made to suffer as a whipping-boy the evils are using for to put pressure onto Infowarriors everywhere! But you know their making more of the boy’s notice…(afterall) The Writing IS On The WALL!!!
We must take it back take it all back lawfully if possible and definately directly, not only (brother Infowarrior) Alex, but all of the West! has (as Mr. Fein, was it? so elequently announced) “the Sword of Dameclies” hanging above someone’s, actually all of our heads collectively, the world!
August 1st, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Why else would they make so much an issue of a young man putting a sign or sticker in the airline bath or restroom! He was making his opinion, the opposite of most lavatory graffiti! BUT IT IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THEY ARE GUILTY, MALICIOUS and GREEDY, covetors of men’s souls to lose their own and their servant’s souls too.
They’re doing free advertising for us Mr. Alex Jones, sir let us carry on. Ask gifts be sent to the boy and acknowledgements of Infowarrior’s support and backing, make honourary mention if you please, Jones Sir. A 911truther medal pure silver food barter coinage for post Tarrif’s Wars 1861 to 2008 Pray, was it Barbara Fields as quoted in the Civil War by Ken Burns doc. when she said” The Civil War is still goin on;If some folks have homes and others do not,…a higher cause…and it can still be lost!”
This boy, young man sticker affixer likely ought to hav stuk er under the lid but they likely have cameras there too. Next time perhaps. Overinflated misdemeanour and madness all around! Perfect! Attack in all directions all at once!Spread the word through the ranks! Slow and steady wins better than false rush. Reality is kickin’ in for all closer to the food staying away from Genetically Modified Foods “Frankenfood” will soon be channelled their poison reaching all points too! The people under the so called “FDA” are soon finished without our bringing their attentions first to the Present and eventually tearing down and rooting out the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue and the usuary money system! It will be better if the foreign controls be snipped rapidly upon any response in kind to Mr Bugliosi’s book”Prosecution of GWB for Murder” acknowledgements must be made curtailing and denying any future international “foreign or domestic” enemies of the people and Constitution, right?! Very seerious times!

By the way if “w” is guilty he just signed his own signature ti the young soldier (alleged) criminal be executed. You need not ask further of repercussions. Jeff Davis did no murder lies whoreing profiteering inexcusable detriment through terrorizing upon his own part upon (what would be)his own his subjects he promised to faithfull loyally truthfully to serve. They are not his since his fist act of decieving the people of the us. His acts are one tiny matter viewed as latger because he still holds keys to government.
The 911 message and a good truther followup honing in on Bush’s prosecution, but the 911 issue along with Impeachment prosecution dismissal possibilities, at any given moment, breaking issues such as the plane toilet defacer, albeit for the sake of attentions to the “issues” as they raise stakes well of course supporters must come forward but with back up cameras and microphones. As they make a bigger issue of this young man, compare that with Media complicancey in hiding 911 Truth!

What about repealling the FISA bill or the Patroit Act…oh wait he voted for them…..
as Obama Says “JUST WORDS”
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Some real Obama haters here.
Eh… I think if Obama says he’ll repeal anti-liberty executive orders – that’s a good thing. As for the Patriot Act – that’s up to the Congress to repeal.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
…he’s going to REVIEW it?…
Ooooo, big job.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
And those who do not fight for our liberties,freedoms and privacy be impeached or forced to resign,dis-embouled from the political body,severed from the free ride of our tax dollars that we all work so hard for an always know what a waste it is going to an institution that works against us more so than for us an yes because we allow it to continue.It is time to make them put thier actions were thier mouth is!All the rehtric,school kid and teenage mental way of thinking needs to stop and stop fast.People are sick of the B.S. Force them to make good or get the hell out because we don’t need you there if your not willing to do so,end of story.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
HEY WM
The point is Obama words are just that “JUST WORDs” Eh…..as he said he one of his speeches

Our only hope would be for people in the government to come forward and speek out.
