WITH THE NEW YEAR APPROACHING, and certainly many more executive orders to come before President Obama (hopefully) leaves office after the 2012 election, here are the top 5 most outrageous and bizarre executive orders issued by the President in 2011. Links are also provided.
"Where Congress is not willing to act, we're gonna go ahead and do it ourselves..."
- President Barack Obama
1. Establishment of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Doesn't every free-market need one of these? The supreme leader was proud of this one, as it got the most attention in the media (not that the others weren't great). http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-02-03/pdf/2011-2577.pdf
2. Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal Organizations. He declared a National Emergency...who knew? Pay attention to sections 4 & 5. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-07-27/pdf/2011-19156.pdf
3. Delivering an Efficient, Effective and Accountable Government. Cool, like the one described in the constitution?! Oh wait...nope...more rambling crap. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-06-16/pdf/2011-15181.pdf
4. Establishing a Coordinated Government-Wide Initiative to Promote Diversity in the Federal Workforce. The Federal Government is racist? I thought hiring was based on qualification not race. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-08-23/pdf/2011-21704.pdf
5. Instituting A National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security. I don't really understand it...but it's weird. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-23/pdf/2011-33089.pdf
