Fwd: more bullshit from a relative

He struck again — the relative who forwards questionable cultural/political emails with a conservative tilt.

It had been a while since I received one of his infamous forwards until a few days ago. All he sent was a photo of a protester in front of the White House holding a sign that said, “Put the constitution on his teleprompter.” Delete. This morning, after cleaning out the journal inboxes, I checked my email and found a doozy with the subject “Fw: Read on......and weep.”

THESE ARE THINGS THAT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT US ALL IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS and beyond.
FOR THE SHOCK OF YOUR LIFE, PLEASE READ BELOW, and take a minute to comprehend what you are reading!


EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED by U.S. Presidents in the recent 100 years+/-:

923 Executive Orders in 40 Months


During my lifetime, all Presidents have issued Executive Orders. For various reasons, some have issued more than others.

YES, THERE IS A REASON THAT THE PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED TO TAKE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

Even some Democrats in the House have turned on him, plus a very small number of Democrat Senators have questioned him. Rightfully so -
WHAT IS OBAMA REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH????

It continued on and also included a list of executive orders. It concluded with claims that Obama is trying to “harmonize” the US with the rest of the word:

The globalization of the world economy has accelerated under Obama, and this latest executive order represents a fundamental change in U.S. economic policy. Now federal regulators will be required to "harmonize" their work with the international community.

If THIS IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE, THEN PROVE TO YOURSELF IT'S WRONG - Google it!

Prove myself it’s wrong? Google it? Gladly. Then I replied all and dropped the hammer:

Keep in mind, I am not a Democrat and never voted for Obama. And I do not even like guy, either. But what I hate is when people forward emails without first checking into the claims.

According to this page (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php) on The American Presidency Project website, Obama's executive orders are numbered starting at 13489, so none of the executive orders listed in the email were issued by Obama. Those listed above were all issued by Kennedy, Johnson, or Ford. This webpage (http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/barackobama/a/Barack-Obamas-Executive-Orders.htm) offers this list:
