During a National Emergency, Federal Law Gives the Prez Power to Seize Property:

"...................Federal law provides a variety of powers for the President to use in response to
crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances threatening the nation. Moreover, they
are not limited to military or war situations. Some of these authorities, deriving from
the Constitution or statutory law, are continuously available to the President with little
or no qualification.

Others—statutory delegations from Congress—exist on a standby
basis and remain dormant until the President formally declares a national
emergency. These delegations or grants of power authorize the President to meet the
problems of governing effectively in times of crisis.

Under the powers delegated by
such statutes, the President may seize property, organize and control the means of
production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law,
seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of
private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United
States citizens. Furthermore, Congress may modify, rescind, or render dormant such
delegated emergency authority."

then there's also FEMA


does anyone think this situation is NOT a national (actually, international,) emergency?

And, when an extra-national corporation disses the U.S. EPA, how can it be permitted to do so with impunity?

I bet you would oppose that law if Bush was still POTUS.

Sorry DUmmies but Obama isn't going to nationalize the oil industry because of this.

Hate to spoil your fantasies and all that.

Just remember DUmmies, whatever powers you want this president to have, will eventually get transferred to the next Republican president.

The difference here however, is we conservatives would rather not extend the power of any president beyond the smallest amount necessary to maintain order and safety, regardless of ideology.

This, my dear DUmbasses, is why Obama does not work so hard on defense of the USA soil.  Talk about a crisis to take advantage of and concentrate power. The only thing stopping the donks from this dream is the armed citizenry. That is why the left works so hard on eliminating the Second Amendment.
