I haven't done the research on this one, but you may also notice that Snopes insists that Saddam Hussein never had yellowcake uranium and never made any attempt to acquire it, fact that we captured it and sold it to a Canadian power company notwithstanding. I just can't take those people seriously especially considering that they do not have any internal investigative mechanism.

The amount of executive orders is not nearly as important as the content. Some executive orders are for cerimonial things like naming a library or a bridge. Some executive orders are to circumvent the constitution. If you look at the obumer executive orders that are being signed BEFORE the election (when he should be on his best behavior) I am really concerned with what he will sign if he wins the election.

Snopes is a very liberal biased site. I never take anything they report at face value. They once reported that it was false that Hillary Clinton did not participate in the defense of black panthers. The fools even go on to say what the email said that she participated as a law student, doing research for the defense. Contradicting themselves is only one of the minor sins the web site commits in its shameless clearly liberal bias.

That may be true, but they appear to be correct in this case.

Sure even a monkey gets lucky once in while and finds a banana.

I'm just making a point not to take anything on that web site at face value. I stopped using it for vitrifaction of emails / rumors / internet meanderings a long time ago. More often than not it is a waste of time to look anything up on that site. In this case it may very well be true.

FDR was America's first dictator for life.

 

[indykid]

How many of FDR's EOs were because of the war effort and needed to allow our country to remain free? And I can't stand FDR!

 

[rat-man]

Fantastical as it was, I always wished that at the end of Ron Paul's second presidential term, he signed the last EO, banning any future EOs that weren't abolitionist in nature.

If I'm elected President my first official act will be to rescind all previous Executive Orders.

Because you know for a fact that every single EO is a bad one?

Because there's nothing like starting with a clean slate.
