2. Just saw it on CNN...

A campaign stunt....Don't buy it for a second...

3. Yep, no need for a legislature in Imperial Amerika

except as sham and to propogate the continuing illusion that the Empire is a Free Nation.

But it isn't anymore, not really.

We can just be glad the Tyranny, for a little while longer, hasn't yet tickled down to us.

But it will.

4. I'm so afraid you are right .....

I see it coming, too and cannot understand why others cannot see it or choose NOT to see it.

5. Against "bigger government" my ass!

6. Oh another smooth move

by our towering genius, commander in chief. The CIA is a behemoth old clunker of an agency that still functions as though the cold war is still on when whoops. . .they forgot to notice the U.S.S.R going broke, translate the chatter prior to 9/11, provided bad intell (aka shear stupidity) on pre & post war Iraq, so let's give 'em more power sans a stitch of reform.

The 9/11 commission didn't recommend this.

It's only rewarding more bad behavior IMHO. *'s classic MO.

Sorry for the rant. This is just dumb.

8. This will backfire all over him.

Just watch.

9. I have a question...

where is the money going to come from?

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

11. Selling homeless peoples' organs on the black market.

[Dawgs]

12. Low rent stunt...

Sign a "See how great of a job I'm doing against Terrorism" bill just before the RNC.

Disgusting!!!

13. Out of the social security fund obviously.

16. Greenspan has just said Boomers' Soc. Sec. must be cut,

the slimy bastard. Wants to cut Medicare, too. He's got his, you know, why should he care about anyone else?

He has said this before, of course.

14. Another Bush Boner - Mercury is Retrograde. Doh!

The Shrub should have checked with Ronald and Nancy 's Reagan's astrologer, Joan Quigley. This is a real blockhead move.

To read a more detailed analysis about the folly of Bush signing this Executive Order at this particular time, follow this link to the discussion thread in DU's The Meeting Room:

15. SmirkyBoy must be getting writer's cramp ...

... from all the "Executive Orders" he's been signing since he was selected.

I'd love to know just WHO writes up the EO's for him to scribble on.

17. why is congress having meetings on this stuf if he can just sign during

their recess periods? From what I saw...there was no real consensus on how to change things.
