Editor's notes: I have no idea what this means, but if it is from Obama, I am worried. I am one of those wing-nuts who thinks Obama would not be opposed to declaring martial law in order to stay in power. I know, I'm nuts, but that is one of my fears about this guy.
The moment I find out about this, I will let you know. As near as I can discover, this blog is the first to mention this story, such as it is - J Smithson
Update: turns out that I was the first to sound the alarm, but I am no longer alone:

World Net Daily had this to say:
The White House’s late-week release of
an executive order has sent the online community into an uproar, worried that
President Obama had secretly provided himself means to institute martial law in
America.
In
the common practice of dumping government documents on a Friday afternoon, just
as the news cycle is wrapping up for the week – a move critics say allows the
administration to avoid widespread coverage of embarrassing actions – the White
House released an executive order on “National Defense Resources
Preparedness.”
Filled with language about
“government-owned equipment” and a “defense executive reserve,” among other
vague statements, rumors began to spread that the executive order expanded the
president’s power to do everything from seizing whole industries to drafting
private armies.
A
Canada Free Press article titled “Obama Executive Order: Peacetime Martial
Law!” spread concerns of gasoline ration cards; while an Examiner article
declared the order would “nationalize everything” and “allow for a civilian
draft.” Facebook, email and Twitter were suddenly abuzz, and even the extremely
popular Drudge Report posted a link to the White House release under the title
“Martial Law? Obama Issues Executive Order.”
