Obama Issues Executive Order Mandating “Lifestyle Behavior Modification”

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is fond of saying, “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.” Well, the Obama Administration certainly has not let the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil rig crisis go to waste, using it as a smokescreen to silently assault and further diminish American citizens’ personal freedom.

While the nation has its eyes and ears focused on the blame game ping-pong match between President Obama and BP top brass, President Obama on Thursday, June 10, quietly announced a new Executive Order establishing the “National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council.”

Claiming the “authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,” President Obama has truly gone off the deep end this time in his most atrocious attempt to date to control every aspect of Americans’ lives.

According to Sec. 5. of the Executive Order that details the President’s “National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy,” the Council will be charged with carrying out “lifestyle behavior modification” among American citizens that do not exhibit “healthy behavior.”

The President’s desired lifestyle behavior modifications focus on:

• smoking cessation;
• proper nutrition;
• appropriate exercise;
• mental health;
• behavioral health;
• sedentary behavior;
• substance-use disorder; and
• domestic violence screenings.

Making matters even worse, if that is even possible at this point, President Obama will create an “Advisory Group” composed of experts hand-picked from the public health field and various other areas of expertise “outside the Federal Government.”

Let’s consider who the President has sought advice and mentoring from in the past:

• Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who the Anti-Defamation League calls a “Messenger of Intolerance,” and
• Bill Ayers, leader of the 1960′s domestic terrorist group ”Weatherman” that was “responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.”

Now, President Obama is going to seek medical advisors who will be charged with modifying lifestyles and behaviors of those citizens he deems unhealthy? “Paging Dr. Kevorkian! You’re wanted in the White House STAT by President Obama!”

Whether you are a child, a parent, a worker, or retired, the President’s approximately 25-member “Advisory Group” will soon be present in every aspect of Americans’ lives, as the Executive Order prescribes. Specifically, our new so-called lifestyle behavior modification advisors will be actively carrying out the President’s orders in:

• worksite health promotion;
• community services, including community health centers;
• preventive medicine;
• health coaching;
• public health education;
• geriatrics; and
• rehabilitation medicine.

President Obama’s sweeping plan to enforce “lifestyle behavior modification” is chock full of open-ended target areas, especially when it comes to issues of “mental” and “behavioral” health, “proper nutrition,” “sedentary behavior,” and “appropriate exercise.” The President’s Executive Order is a blatant and forceful attempt to adjust the way Americans young and old think, behave, eat, drink and whatever else free will used to entitle our nation’s citizens to enjoy as prescribed by the Founding Fathers.

If you are feeling stressed-out, sad, confused, hungry, thirsty, bored, or tired, do you honestly trust President Obama and his “Advisory Group” to act in your best interests?

......... and on and on up and through George the 2nds reign

I have many many problems with this president, but this wouldn't be one of them. Hell, an anti-sedentary lifestyle means in a direct way less work/productivity given how much work is done on computers these days. Granted in the long run it would mean MORE productivity given people would be happier and more energetic when they do work, so that's probably his secret agenda with it. Like omg, getting more productive so China doesn't own us all soon, oh noes how evil!

A healthier country would mean HUGE reduction in medical costs for everyone. Why anyone would be against that is beyond me.

cool, so you won't mind when the gov swings by unexpectedly a few times a weeks to see what you're up to then.

Any article that starts talking about Ayers and that Rev Wright should pretty much flag it as a crank writeup.

Why you want your health care cost tied to someone else is beyond me.

Because it IS already being done that way dipshit. Do you have insurance? Do you realize that part of your premium is going to pay for lazy fatass smokers insurance costs? You don't honestly believe that unhealthy people actually pay enough in premiums to cover their inevidable numerous healthcare expenses do you? Who in the fuck do you think pays the difference?

[onwebcam]

I think the issue here is.. Do as we say, not as we do.. Government motto. All governments. Maybe "the one" should lead by example..

When you read the article you posted and then you read the stuff on this link, they really are very different.


For example. Your article says:
Whether you are a child, a parent, a worker, or retired, the President’s approximately 25-member “Advisory Group” will soon be present in every aspect of Americans’ lives, as the Executive Order prescribes. Specifically, our new so-called lifestyle behavior modification advisors will be actively carrying out the President’s orders in:

* worksite health promotion;
* community services, including community health centers;
* preventive medicine;
* health coaching;
* public health education;
* geriatrics; and
* rehabilitation medicine.


Yet on the whitehouse site it actually says:

(b) The Advisory Group shall be composed of not more than 25 members or representatives from outside the Federal Government appointed by the President and shall include a diverse group of licensed health professionals, including integrative health practitioners who are representative of or have expertise in:

(1) worksite health promotion;
(2) community services, including community health centers;
(3) preventive medicine;
(4) health coaching;
(5) public health education;
(6) geriatrics; and
(7) rehabilitation medicine.

Those are two different things.

This is clearly another case of one thing happening and the conspiracy people running it through their "truth-o-meter" and deciding it means something else. I grew up in the Reagan era where we had the presidential physical fitness test which was started by Ike and supported by every president since. We had to take every year in school and if you failed it actually would lower your grade. Shouldn't the anti-commie Reagan have freed me from this big government interceding in my life?

It already is. Everyone in your group effects your rates. If you are grouped with a bunch of people who use a lot of the resources they will raise the group rate for everyone even if you never use your insurance. The only way to stop it would be for the insurance companies to split people into groups where those who are in good health and use little resources are pooled together and those who are in poor health and use more are pooled together and that is never going to happen.

I am guess that was sarcasm. I hope he plans on quitting smoking first to set an example.

supposedly he just did. read some articles about that recently. the articles spin was bashing him because he has the gall to advise other world leaders to stop smoking.

I would be pretty impressed if a smoking President was able to stop smoking during their tenure. That would be tough as fuck.

[fatfoo]

"The President’s desired lifestyle behavior modifications focus on:
smoking cessation"

The President is not doing good enough for smoking cessation.
How can the President say that he supports smoking cessation?
He smokes cigarettes himself.

This is truly insidious- especially since it gives the government authority to administer "care" for mental and behavioral health which, as we know, can be broadly defined to be useful to a government seeking wider powers over individuals.

Overall it describes us as cattle in need of management.

Wow, I had no idea that you would have this opinion; especially after seeing
your avatar.

It's a total surprise that you don't like this "Obama policy".

I quoted "Obama policy" because I'm damn fucking sure that he didn't create
this policy in a vacuum.

I am forty-one years old, and although I run two miles every day I'm a bit over weight. Went to the water park this weekend I'm all worried about how I'm going to look with no shirt on in public. Trust me, I was fine. Because most people are fucking huge!

[Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life]

does "appropriate exercise" include mandatory exercise hours at a government labor camp yet? lol
