Obama has used an "executive order" to require all corporate political ads to be accompanied by a statement as to who or which company paid for the ad. In assuming the role of a South American dictator, Obama has taken another step in developing an enemies list for the coming campaign. Of course, he will never mention the millions pouring in from outside this country via Big Labor unions and the huge international presence 0f ACORN.
Understand that of the $800 million raised for his 2008 campaign, more than half has remained "anonymous." While mush is being said about his plans to raise a billion dollars for the 2012 campaign, nothing much has been said about the fact that he raised nearly that much in 2008. He out spent McCain 2 to 1 and won the election by only 7% of the vote. This time around, his opposition will have access to millions of dollars not in play in 2008. Should make for an exciting election.
Note: understand that "executive orders" were designed to allow the president to "enhance" existing legislation or to provide for the established function of his office. It was never designed to allow a dictator the powers of legislation, as is the case in this posted example.
