Nearly a year after first pledging to make the federal government leaner and more efficient, President Obama on Friday asked Congress for greater power to shrink its size, starting with the merging of six major trade and commerce agencies whose overlapping programs often confuse businesses.


Mr. Obama asked lawmakers to grant him the “fast-track” authority to reorganize government, a power last held by President Reagan, with Congress given 90 days to take an up-or-down vote on his actions.

Zeig heil de Fuhrer Obama the largest expansion of Government power since FDR under this administration and now seeks more power tried time and time again to by pass congress and now nope Good enough I WANT MORE POWER Obama.

Interesting enough they just had to throw in Reagan funny how after Reagan the power was taken away for whatever reason is anyone's guess

Hey Obama want to shrink Government? there are over 100 million Americans getting paid with no benefit to Government 66 million on SS, 50 million on welfare,10 million on unemployment and medicare and medicaid account for the largest corruption and bloat of Government Agencies waste do not even come close.

The Fascist States of America is what we live in the Patriot Act,the NDAA,SOPA hell homeland security was following twitter during the NH primaries.

Zeig Heil for the fatherland.

Seeing this speech on CNN this morning reminded me of Chancellor Palpetine talking about needing executive powers in order to get things done more efficiently.

Judging from your posts and threads here, you are an extremist right-winger, like the rest of them out there, who complain about Obama being all about 'big-government', and then when the guy discusses shrinking it, you right-wingers STILL find something to WHINE about.

This particullar President could acheive ANYTHING during his Presidency, and the right-winger extremists will ALWAYS complain about him. I guess that is why so many people view the right-wing as racists. No mater what this guy does, you all never stop complaining and whining.

And Social Security is TAKEN FROM OUR PAYCHECKS. It is not a free ride, and is OUR MONEY being RETURNED WHEN WE NEED IT. GET IT?????????!!!!!!!!!!

Dont be a buffoon just because you once replied to a post awhile ago saying you inherited a fortune and do not need SS like the REST of us who WORK FOR A LIVING. Our senors who WORKED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES PAYING FOR SS, FULLY DESERVE IT when they are too old to work.

Get over the right-wing extremist hate, and lack of compassion for our elders.

He is not shrinking it, he is consolidating it, centralizing power. I am guessing that after Ron Paul suggested getting rid of a few govt agencies to reduce power, POTUS decided to beat him to the punch, only he is amassing power into fewer hands.

You are mixing department of commerce (An executive agency) with chamber of commerce (A private lobbying group)

Obama can't abolish the Chamber of commerce any more than he could abolish ALEC or Cato or Heritage foundation. And yes: they are rethuglican. Always have been, always will be.

Funny. While this move comforts most of the GOP, because it says Obama you still hate it.
You are as predictable as the runs after a breakfast burrito, Neo.
