Obama Shows His Imperious Streak

From the Baltimore Examiner we read that "the White House issued new rules that require Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) to provide free services for dozens of screening, laboratory, and other types of preventive testing measures."  Read that a few times and let the implications become clear in your minds.  And no, I'm not looking at this from a "health care" aspect.  There are much more fundamental issues here, more basic threats that are embodied in this action.

Think in terms of the United States Constitution.  Remember that quaint little document, the one that our elected officials (and law enforcement officials) swear to uphold as they take their oaths of office?  Let's "drill down" a bit and consider a key constitutional concept, namely, separation of powers.  Recall that it is in the purview of the legislative branch to enact laws.  Is the White House part of the legislative branch?  Of course not; it's a key component of the executive branch, whose function it is to execute laws issued by the legislative branch.  In other words, the White House doesn't issue laws "on the fly", as it were.  That means basically that the White House had no constitutional authority whatsoever to make what amounts to a de facto imperial pronouncement. 

The Founding Fathers feared just such a thing as is embodied in the Examiner article.  I now beg leave to give a my own translation of what issued yesterday from the White House:

"Hear ye, hear ye!  Harken now, ye Great Unwashed, miserable peasants that you are!  I, the Messiah Most Miserable, will now dictate how insurance industries must conduct their business, in utter conformity with my messianic will and ego!"   Does that sound farcical?  I wish I could agree!

We need to vote next November those who will uphold life and who will vote to repeal the deadly Obama Hell Bill.
