    In the event of a significant outage or power loss,
    there ought to be enough electrical charge left inside Obamastein from the re-animation process to power the country’s lies for about 6 months.
    Once we run out of hope and change, though, we’ll have to find another power source.

    The good news is
    OBAMA IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

    He has used a false identity to gain access to the powers of the nation
    His authority is NULL AND VOID
    All legislation and law under his signature is NULL AND VOID

    Arpaio has uncovered the structure of fraud
    Support his investigation
    Demand the prosecution for Treason

  2. Ahhh, another day, another executive order to sign, another seizure

  4. Left handed presidcents are always freaks who always rule for 8 bloody years Obama will remain president after November, Want to argue with that, Check the US presidential cabal data of data od late. Clinton, Left handed, Child= one Girl, White house use of toilet, -8 YEARS, Bush Junior – left handed Devil worshipper – Children -2 Girld, Use of White House toilet – 8 YEARS. Now Obama – manchurian, Oreo Cookie , Children – 2 Girls, Use of Whitehouse toilet 4 YEARS, another 4 remaining, Anyone who wants to be bet, on that, Reply and we will exchange Paypal data. for a $100 stake,each way,Yes! Obama will remain becuase he has not completed the job he was APPOINTED TO DO and he cannot resign or refuse.Take a look at the picture above , is that a presidential face, or that of a frightened monkey performing on cue. Blaming him for all the problems in this country is like blaming the toilet bowl (which he is) for the poo in the sewer septic system. That said he is one damn filthy toilet bowl that needs some carbolic acid

    Obama will remain president, a third party run will be the blame for stealing votes from Romney. You can’t vote the anti Christ out

  5. And just to ponder; some state that this man is a Mohammedan. Mohammedans do not recognize nor do they believe in Jesus Christ, which makes them an anti-Christ. So, with this said, is Barack an anti-Christ? The position of the presidency of the USA is now also considered to be the leader of the free world making the president of the USA the leader of the world. So, you may have an anti-Christ leading the world. [Satan himself does not come to rule the world, that is the esoteric beliefs of the false church of the Roman Catholics].

    How many presidents, prime ministers, kings, leaders, so on and so forth; lead their nation in prayer each and every day? How many governments stop to have prayer? In essence… NONE OF THEM!!!

    “In your quest not to want to offend the anti-Christs of the world such as the atheist, Muslims, Buddhist, so on and so forth, you have offended the ones that can give you life!!!”

    “I challenge this man to state publicly that he believes in and loves Jesus Christ!”

    GIDDY GOOFY:
    Working under another name are you Diaper? But you cannot hide your insufferable atheism. Your hatred and arrogance are exceeded only by your stupidity. Atheists, riding under a banner of fascism and communism, are the SOBs who have played the key role in destroying our once Godly nation: abortion, subversion, expansionism, perversion, extortion, you name it.

    So don’t trot out that sick old hound dog here; he don’t hunt. In the meantime get ready for a world class education that will last for eternity for yourself and your foolish friends. As the old man said, “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” Well, fool, you are outnumbered. Those in the know know better. Just as fire burns, whether you believe it or not, there is a God and that God is about to run out of patience with the likes of you and that thing in the White House. When He does, you will enter Sorrow101, but too late to make amends.

  6. Try telling a sheep that Executive Orders are unconstitutional and they call you a conspiracy theorist. This is what we are up against.

  7. Man, this was a BORING read. Wonder if they make it up this way on purpose, it is almost as if this document was meant to put you to sleep with its monotonous wording. How can something so important be so insanely boring?

  8. Obama has himself a dictatorship……but can he hold on to it?

    You’ll need CB and SW radio/transceivers, and learn how to build tank traps…how to stop large federal gestapo vehicles

  9. I wonder if this means the end of the internet as we know it. All sites considered dissident will be taken offline. (probably permanently) I’m going to miss Prison Planet.

  10. The spotted owl’s got more control over this government then Obama will ever have !

    New presidents don’t typically undo what the previous administrations have put in place.

  11. Well, well, Mister Executive Order is at it again. Not suprised.
    I saw a video called ‘Secret War on Guns’ put out by the NRA.
    If this does not convince people that this puppet of Valorie Jarhead is a prescriber of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and the list goes on, then I guess WeThePeople that are still living in some sort of Myst O’ the Mind deserve what makes Buzzard’s Puke when this all begins to sink into their lobotimized brains.
