'TSUNAMI' OF REGULATIONS EXPECTED AFTER OBAMA REELECTION

President Barack Obama's administration deliberately held off implementing burdensome regulations that favored environmentalists, labor unions, and dealt with Obamacare in the month leading up to the election because they would be politically unpopular.

Before Obama won reelection, the backlog of regulations suggested to many industry experts that if Obama won reelection, his administration would be "publishing thousands of pages of regulations in the coming months." 
Now that Obama won, some in the business community expect a "tsunami" of regulations that will burst through the dam because about 70 percent of regulations under review have been held for more 90 days, which is 30 days more than the customary 60-day limit. And these are regulations that have made it out of the various agencies. There are many more still on hold.

EPA rammed through the clean coal act which will raise the poor and middle class electric bills a lot.Dems going to tax the rich? What a lie!

Well of course. Obama has engaged in corporate welfare and crony capitalism more that his predecessor's. He is controlled by big business who want everyone else over regulated so they can become bigger and have a monopoly.

I'm just wondering how much money Obama the braintrust is going to give away this term to companies like Solyndra?
I keep asking over and over for someone to give me the answer to the question-Name one thing Obama has done that was a success? No one can answer. It's unbeliveable.
You got the ones who bring up the health care act as a success. This totally shows their mentality. How can this be a success when it's not even fully implimented yet? The ignorance that emaciates from this group is stunning.

WE will need these regulations in order to exist. The more regulations , the more police to enforce. We will need a total police state , this good. This will allow us to do things for our government. This will also allow us to help those who need things , sharing our wealth is the future.
I'm looking foreward to this socialist government!! We will adjust and love it. Hitler accomplished some amazing things and so will Obama , Praise to Allah!!

It was a big thing to tout healthcare reform as an Obama success story. If it were so great an achievement why wouldn't the dems have wanted major and the most controversial parts implimented before the election? It's been signed into law for over 2 yrs now.
It's like the supposed other Obama success of ending the Iraq war. He didn't. There was no choice. US troop withdrawl was dictated by an agreement between the US and Iraq signed by G W Bush.
It all goes to Obama voters and supporters being either clueless or dishonest. The dishonest ones such as Oprah and Colin Powell know for certain that Obama didn't end the Iraq war but due to dishonesty don't call Obama out on such falsehoods.

The worst part is you have people, like Jim Ireton who are teaching children, who claim Obamacare as an "achievement."
Yes of course it was successfully passed by the demcratically controlled Congress at the time, but to any forward (to use Obama's word) thinking person, the bill in itself hasn't achieved anything (except to be passed,) so by no one's stretch of the imagination can be labeled either a success or an achievement in it's merits.

I see businesses doing huge cutbacks and closing their doors and this could be happening between now and the end of 2012. Merry Christmas

1038, your criticisms might have more merit if they made more sense. One of the primary features of Obamacare is the creation of insurance exchanges. Sorry "the messiah" couldn't snap his fingers and make these come about over night .

11:46, so have these "insurance exchanges" been a success? Can't answer because this portion of Obamacare doesn't go into effect until 2014.

It is a very simple question-not much to make sense out of.

Name one portion/section of Obamacare that has been a success as of today.
Now go ahead and answer the question. This shouldn't be hard. All the Obamanista's have been chanting ad nauseusm about the "success" of Obama's health care reform.

11:46, Did you also fall for Obama ending the Iraq War? I would bet money that you did.
