Are you trying to tell me Obama isn't the Executive Branch? That would be news to me....or poor conservative logic.

He isn't. He's working to dismantle the structure and to do that all he has to do is keep a stalemate going....which he'll blame the republicans for....

Yes, both of these sources are blogs but where else do we learn about things like this? Even Fox hasn't mentioned this memo.

Daily Kos: White House "Insider Threat" Memo Will Silence Whistleblowers

NoisyRoom.net » Blog Archive » Policing the Schutzstaffel
The Daily Kos entry is dated Nov. 27 - that was a Tuesday. According to the link within, it says that the memo was released on Nov. 21, that was a Wednesday. In fairness, it was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but still not Friday.
Perhaps there was another memo released last Friday?

Anyhoo...
The memo the president released was fairly vague, and seems to deal mainly with inter-agency threats. I'm wondering if it doesn't relate in some way to the shenanigans perpetrated by the former head of the CIA and his paramour. For example:

"The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information; monitor employee use of classified networks; provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel."

Interestingly, on the same day that the Daily Kos blog post appeared, the president also did this:

Well, to be fair, the con-men and con-women have already forgotten that The President IS in-charge of the Executive Branch. After all, they had Bush in office, who was merely a puppet. Then came McCain and Romney not to take charge of the Executive Branch, but to be the tools for someone else to be in-charge.

Did you read the memo he put out Friday? I can't see anything in your reply that says a lot about what he said in the memo. Maybe you could read the Kos link.

Another leaner has failed to read the memo and what it seems he wants to do with it. I don't think that many of our earlier Presidents have threatened whistleblowers like this so maybe you are trying too hard to protect I Won.

One of the links is even from the Daily Kossack. LOL
The best part of this is that in that one from Kos the writer fails to stand up for old I Won.

Maybe if you bothered to read either of those links you would see that I Won has put out a memo to the whole branch that whistle blowers can expect to be punished soundly. Of course, none of that could have anything to do with Benghazi, Fast and Furious or any of the other scandals of his first term. Read something and then come poking around.
