(CNSNews.com) – It’s Friday morning, and so far today, the Obama administration has posted 165 new regulations and notifications on its reguations.gov website.
In the past 90 days, it has posted 6,125 regulations and notices – an average of 68 a day.
Some of the proposed regulations revise regulations already on the books.
The website also links to a video of a speech President Barack Obama gave at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 7, 2011, in which the president promised to remove “outdated and unnecessary regulations.”
A number of groups, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute, expect a rush of new regulations now that President Obama has won a second term.
Yes indeed, welcome, America, to the second terms of the president who believes you are simultaneously under-taxed and under-regulated.
And he’s going to do something about that.
Right now.

P.S.
When UK’s The Economist thinks you’re over-regulated, you have a problem, considering the magazine’s source.
Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:
I’ve labeled one as the CBS News reporter as I believe it is Nancy Cordes who works for CBS News. If I’ve gotten that wrong I apologize and will correct.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….
CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*
CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?
CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*
CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..
**Later**
CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?
UPDATE: Newsbusters says the the CBS News reporter is Jan Crawford and she was discussing this with the NPR reporter Ari Shapiro
The DEM/MSM is willing to do anything, to say anything, to conduct anything, to portray anything, to coordinate anything, in order to support Barack Hussein Obama.
This is nothing more than a coordinated attack on Mitt Romney. This would never occur for questions directed at Barack Hussein Obama.
The media bias and abomination continues.
Which is why I say that you must continue to seek out UK media; it’s where you’ll find more truth than you will in the USA:
It’s sad to say, but you simply cannot trust the Mainstream Media in the United States, because their bias is so incredibly clear and so incredibly naked.
Finally: it is because of this, however, that I believe Mr Obama will not acquire a second term.
(CNSNews.com) – This year, Americans have to work until July 15 to pay for the burden of government, more than six months.
In a new report, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has calculated that Americans will spend a total of 197 days toiling to pay for the cost of government.
“Cost of Government Day is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burden imposed by government at the federal, state and local levels,” reads the report.
The report,Cost of Government Day, shows that Americans will work 88 days to pay for federal spending; 40 days for state and local spending; and 69 days for total regulatory costs.
“From a different perspective, the cost of government makes up 54.0 percent of annual gross domestic product (GDP),” reads the report. “What’s more, the largest tax hike in the nation’s history is scheduled to take place at the end of 2012 unless Congress acts to protect taxpayers. If this tax increase is allowed to hit, COGD [Cost of Government Day] could permanently be pushed back into August and beyond.”
Yes, that’s correct.
You’re taking, as the American Taxpayer, over 7 months to even begin to migrate from the red into the black.
Look around you. Realize that the Non-Producers are demanding you work longer, harder and more diligently and consistently. Despite your own personal budgetary trials and tribulations. And despite governments on every angle leveling devastating rules, regulations and tariffs on ever-burgeoning aspects of your life.
Government intrusion predominates. Freedoms wither and die. Regulations and taxes run amok.
To the American Taxpayer: just how much will you take?

P.S.
To American blacks who voted racist:
How’s that mortgage coming? How are those car payments going?
Not so well, I might suspect.
And this is for whom you’re paying:
Harder work and more of it. She needs an iPad, a 4G phone and a 54″ flatscreen to complement her 2004 Lexus.
Stop reading this and get back to work you lazy bastards.
