Sen. Rand Paul To Obama: ‘Mr. President, Do You Have An Enemies List?’

» 39 comments

Republican Senator Rand Paul joined other Republican lawmakers in attacking the National Labor Relations Board and the federal government for allegedly overexerting its power in the private sector. The NLRB filed a complaint against the Boeing Company for the company’s decision to open a factory in South Carolina rather than in Washington state where it already had unionized employees. Paul specifically held President Obama responsible for the complaint’s filing.

Rand, speaking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, suggested Obama wants to move jobs out of South Carolina:

“I have a question for the president. Mr. President, do you have an enemies list? Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina appears to be a Republican state, has two Republican senators? Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina is a right-to-work state? Are they on your enemies list?”

Paul concluded Obama is playing politics with his economic decisions and declared “I find this appalling and I respectfully ask the president to immediately rescind this assault on business.”

    Sen. Rand Paul To Obama: ‘Mr. President, Do You Have An Enemies List?’

    Of course he has . Rahm was in charge of it , and he and Barry and Axelrod would listen to Glenn and Rush and gnash their teeth . Barry keeps it himself now , and is planning to have the names woven into a rug . A really , really , really …. really big rug .

    Obama ignored Oklahoma’s requests for help , ignored the Tennessee floods and is ignoring the Texas wildfires . No votes there .

    Everyone in opposition to Hussein’s transition of America from the land of the free to the land of serfdom is on his enemy list. His affinity for international law over domestic sovereignty makes everyone who supports the Constitution an enemy of the Hussein regime. Hopefully, he will go the way of all other ego-maniacal ‘rulers,’ and self destruct before he causes more damage to America.

    President Barack Obama is reportedly about to sign an executive order that would vastly expand the power of his administration to coerce and intimidate the private sector into submission while restricting the ability of his opponents to engage in political activities.

    The order would require any company bidding for a government contract, its political action committee – and its senior officers—to provide in a convenient single report a list of all of their contributions to political parties and candidates for the past two years. These disclosures currently are required, but made in various reports to different government agencies. In addition, for the first time ever, companies and individuals would be required to report donations to “third party entities” including membership dues and charitable donations made to organizations that may engage in political speech in addition to their other activities.

    “This information could easily be used to form a Nixonian enemies list on steroids,” explains Sean Parnell, president of the Center for Competitive Politics.

    Well then I welcome Obama providing his own list of individuals that contributed to his campaign. :)

    The problem: Boeing IS NOT A CRONY CAPITALIST SUPPORTER OF “YOU LIE!” HUSSEIN and the lunatic-left !!!!
    The d-crat socialist solution: DESTROY BOEING unless it makes itself TOTALLY UNCOMPETITIVE by capitulating to union excesses.

    The CRONY CAPITALISTS pay homage to their MESSIAH (and BIG GOVERNMENT benefactor) and pledge BILLIONS in campaign contributions to the lunatic-left d-crat socialists. Especially vile are Government Motors, Government Electric, Government Sachs, Governmentoogle – and, of course, the ULTIMATE lunatic-left d-crat socialist Crony Capitalist: the current manifestation of all that was rotten in the Third Reich and massive sugar-daddy to the lunatic left, george soros. These crony caps join the union bo$$e$ to ensure that EVERY ACTION and EVERY WORD of “You Lie!” hussein is under their total and complete control.

    This Executive order should be publicized. It’s gross and, as people have pointed out, Obama is so much like Nixon.

    @Azarkhan: I only know what’s under your link which isn’t enough for me to have a firm opinion, so I don’t know how I feel about the proposal, but offhand, I’ll offer that the President and the White House don’t let a lot of contracts. Most are administered by bureaucrats down the agency chain.

    We can shorten this and generalize it like Evan Sayet has: Modern Liberals work to tear down everything that is good, successful and right while elevating everything that is evil, failed and wrong.

    So everything that is good, successful and right is the enemy of the Modern Liberal/Progressive. This is why they really do hate success, like to make it harder for people to proper, etc. – all of the normal things that make america great, they hate.

    Why are oil companies charging so much for their oil? Main reason is, because they can. Why can they? Because all the oil companies formed a CARTEL, a Cartel is a group of companies joined together and cooperates to STOP COMPETETION, a sort of clever method of PRICE FIXING. There is abundance of Crude Oil and they continue to raise the price until a large number of buyers stop buying, they then lower the price again until they start buying again. “They call this what the market will bear”. The people using these barrels of oil are (captive customers) which makes the business men suppliers look like greedy hard core profiteers. This does maximize their profits but they are killing the bees that make the Honey. Do they also think; “there are plenty more bees where they came from”?
    The Gasoline prices are pretty much the same. They raise the price of a gallon of gasoline until a large number of people quit buying, then they lower the price until everyone starts buying again. This is a sensible way of arriving at a price for products not related to the necessities of life. Price gouging on products produced for the necessities of life and economic stability and progress should be classed as a heinous act and unethical in all business. On the necessities of Life, people will buy till they go broke or die. That is no civilized way of setting prices.
    The only thing greedy business men understand is legislation. Legislation is like a contract. Every business man will tell you, when doing business never work without a contract. New Legislation should be implemented and adjusted frequently to keep business fair and running smoother.
