Obama's Going to Do It Again: President Thinking of Using Executive Order on Cybersecurity Bill

by Scotty Starnes

The Constitution be damned.

Obama is a wanna-be dictator who continues to change laws, ignore laws and violate laws. Obama has used executive orders to change/create/avoid/ignore the Defense of Marriage Act; Don't Ask, Don't Tell;  No Child Left Behind; the1973 War Powers Act and US immigration laws. Not to forget his latest, newly created race-based law that allows special treatment of students who misbehave in school. This is just the next violation from out first wanna-be dictator-in-chief.

From The Hill:

Senate Republicans recently blocked cybersecurity legislation, but the issue might not be dead after all.

The White House hasn't ruled out issuing an executive order to strengthen the nation's defenses against cyberattacks if Congress refuses to act.

"In the wake of Congressional inaction and Republican stall tactics, unfortunately, we will continue to be hamstrung by outdated and inadequate statutory authorities that the legislation would have fixed," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in an email.

"Moving forward, the President is determined to do absolutely everything we can to better protect our nation against today's cyber threats and we will do that," Carney said.

The White House has emphasized that better protecting vital computer systems is a top priority.

The administration proposed its own legislation package in 2011, sent officials to testify at 17 congressional hearings and presented more than 100 briefings on the issue. In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, President Obama warned that a successful cyberattack on a bank, water system, electrical grid or hospital could have devastating consequences.

Using a "crisis" to usurp Congress. How many times have we seen this?

The president urged Congress to pass the Cybersecurity Act, which was offered by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine). The bill would have encouraged private companies and the government to share information about cyber threats and would have required critical infrastructure operators to meet minimum cybersecurity standards.

This is just another government spy program. The current administration is worried about Americans who oppose them and are spying on us with the aid of internet providers and social media. The "information-sharing" is the information collected on us.
