I've not been through all the posts in both threads I've seen about this, but is there a distinction between "National Emergency" and "State of
Emergency" and "Medical Emergency"?
I think it would be wise to review exactly what Obama has implemented, terminology wise, what powers it grants to various parts of Government, before
we all dive into the conspiracy theory.
We all know how government loves its "definitions" and "interpretations". The difference of one word and its meaning could be the difference
between the SHTF and a routine act to benefit people.
I'm not defending Obama here, I am as suspicious as the rest of you, and I don't like him much since he destroyed the hope people had in him by
carrying on the Bush regime. I also don't appreciate the posters who are clearly "give him time" people (excuses much?)
Fact is, he's let billions of people down, destroyed all hope in government being for the people, he lied, it's a fact.
But let's make sure we have the definitions of the terminology and the intentions of government right first.
