Talk:Executive Order 13603

This is the ref I wanted to put in as a reputable source for criticism of the order: http://www. examiner.com/finance-examiner-in-national/president-obama-signs-executive-order-allowing-for-control-over-all-us-resources, but it was tagged as spam. I put in a request to allow it through. Kdammers (talk) 02:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are many more sources from the right, but the ones I see are mostly blog-type comments, which are legitimate expressions of opinions, which is what I'm trying to show -- but I think that would be seen as original research. One that's a bit different is http://www.offthegridnews.com/2012/03/19/obama%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Cnational-defense-resources-preparedness%E2%80%9D-executive-order-minor-change-or-prelude-to-martial-law/, but it hasn't been vetted in Wik.

This seems rather slanted. The opposing view is presented quite briefly and dismissed with a considerably longer talking point style rebuttal. Admittedly, I am not fully informed of what's involved in this executive order (more specifics in the article would be nice), but if it has the potential of being a big power grab, then it deserves some attention. For that matter, what I would like to know is, if this is "nothing more than a restatement of policy that has been in place for decades and grants no authority to the President or the Cabinet that they don’t already have under existing law" -- then why was this executive order necessary in the first place?
