True to his word, President Obama bypassed Congress this week with a trifecta
of new Executive Orders.
Concerned that trucking firms are “needlessly wasting money on gas-guzzling
semi-trucks,” the President ordered haulers to “improve their MPGs.” As
Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx explained, “no one cares more about
this country and its well-being that President Obama. These truckers may be
satisfied to fritter away costly fuel, but the President is not. Unless they
clean up their act we will shut them down.”
In a bid to end the debate over global warming, President Obama issued an
Executive Order declaring that “the science proving global warming is
irrefutable.” Because the consequences of denying global warming are “severe”
the Order bars any firm or individual that contests this irrefutable climate
science from bidding on, or participating in, any work funded by the federal
government.
On Wednesday President Obama corrected an omission from President Franklin
Roosevelt’s 1941 State-of-the-Union speech by adding “freedom to enjoy sodomy”
to FDR’s famous “four freedoms.” Previously, the four freedoms included freedom
of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. “Even
though Americans’ right to pursue happiness could be construed to include this
right—as it could be construed to include FDR’s list—for similar reasons it is
clear to me that a more explicit enumeration is required to ensure that this
right will never be abridged by those who refuse to participate under the guise
of feigned religious objections by the practitioners and purveyors of
intolerance.”
