Most interesting one:

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Repealing part of his own health care law/tax?

His reach with EO's doesn't infringe as badly as people think. I'm not even worried about an AWB being reinstated federally. I'm worried about Colorado - those traitors can push through anything they want here. We've become so inundated with bleeding-heart West Coasters that the state would happily trade those "inalienable" rights for the ability to smoke dope legally. Keep them all placid and stoned while the constitution is eroded a piece at a time.

Damned right! We've all been focusing on the national when we have a Dem gov and legislature. Now's its time to let them know we are watching. I live in Douglas county and have written real letters to let them know I'm now single issue. If you live in any district with a mixed voter makeup let them know how you feel.

As long as I can say I am not answering that question as it violates any number of my rights as a US citizen.

What is most interesting about that is that its 100% pointless.

He can "clarify" whatever he wants to all day long (and twice on Sundays) that doesn't change the text of the law.

Again, this is indicative of what this entire dog, pony and little kid show this was ... it was theater. Zero substance.

However, a public appearance, or "theater", albeit with 'zero substance', is still a public appearance and reinforces the message to the masses! Again, study history: the same techniques that worked in the past still work today, because man hasn't changed! The masses are being indoctrinated, this 'zero substance' public 'speech' has (and will continue to be) gone unchallenged! Where's the Truth? Where's the opposing voice? Where are the campaigns for truth? Where are the MSMs (so to speak) of the voice of truth and reason?

If the people hear enough of 'zero substance' messages, guess what will happen? History tells us...

So basically, they will give more money to medicare to treat mental illness, make sure doctors report who has guns and give private health information to the government. Nice.
