Here is the nearly exact wording from Obama's 2009 H1N1 national emergency declaration, with Trump's modifications for his own emergency declaration in red.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and consistent with 8 U.S. Code, Section 1182, Inadmissable Aliens, in response to Homeland Security press release, dated Feb. 15, 2018, entitled WE MUST SECURE THE BORDER AND BUILD THE WALL TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN , do hereby find and proclaim that, given that the rapidly increasing threat of huge caravans of undocumented and unvetted immigrants seeking entry into the US through our porous southern border with Mexico may overwhelm immigration centers and existing agencies for processing immigrants, as well as place huge burdens on already overburdened fiscal resources needed to care for unemployable undocumented immigrants, hereby declare that other agencies of the federal government may supply resources to combat the growing problem of unsecured borders between the US and Mexico.

To everyone:

This post is a flat out lie.
Here is the actual wording of Obama's declaration. You'll notice there is NO language talking about caravans or immigrants. Obama's declaration had to do with influenza.

Two sources for same declaration:

Declaration of a National Emergency with Respect to the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic | The White House

Federal Register
::
Declaration of a National Emergency With Respect to the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic



What is the point of this?
To push lies to people.

Huh. Little early in the morning to be lying, isn't it?

That was not Obama's declaration of national emergency but an attempt to compare the two.

That is not what you said in your OP.
 
Re: Obama's edited declaration of national emergency

That is not what you said in your OP.

That is what I tried to say. My bad. I am sorry for my errors in communication but am not sorry for attempting to point out the similarities between the two different declarations of emergency. Did you read them both? Do you not see the similarities?

Your post indicated that the words in blue are from Obama's proclamation. Many of them aren't.

You are right. By the time I realized my mistake I was no longer allowed to edit it. I'm sorry for the error.

Hmmm... sorry for the "error"...

Or sorry you got caught?
 
Re: Obama's edited declaration of national emergency

I don’t understand the confusion. I thought the OP was clear in comparing the two and distinguishing between the similarities and differences.

No, it's a lie in an attempt to spread disinformation.

There's no confusion, the OP is a flat out lie. The OP tried to claim it was Obama's words when they clearly were not. It was a lie.
 
Re: Obama's edited declaration of national emergency

I make mistakes all the time. I am not ashamed to admit it when I am wrong.
 
Re: Obama's edited declaration of national emergency

Holy ****, government uses template! What a shock! I blame Russia!

The **** is the point of this thread?

No, it's a lie in an attempt to spread disinformation.

Let me say that there are very noticeable similarities between the two declarations whether anyone wants to admit that or not. Even of I messed up an attempt at comparison because I did not go back and make sure I got the color coding right.

Besides, if Trump wrongly invokes an emergency, by law Congress must be the one to lift the emergency, not the democrat party and not democrat judges in activist courts.
 
Re: Obama's edited declaration of national emergency

The amount of deliberate disinformation being pushed on these forums anymore is nearly overwhelming. This was not accidental.

What is this "democrat" party you speak of?

I am only familiar with the Democratic party.

Is this something new?

Democrats like to think of their party as the democratic party, but that is not true. They are closer in philosophy to the Bolshevik party.

In any case, after blatantly lying like this, marke has shown us all we need to know.

No, it is simply proper grammar.
Democrat is a noun.
Democratic is an adjective.

Now, if you want to say the democratic party is close to the Bolshevik party, that is proper grammar, and your opinion.

Calling it the democrat party is just lazy ignorance.

Indeed.

His grammar sucks too.
