Now that he's solved the problem of the economy being so bad-- by deciding to ignore it-- Obama's turned his attention to the latest improvements he can make to the automotive industry. And government.

He’s going to get tough on trucks.

Again.

“President Obama will announce on Tuesday that his administration will begin developing the next phase of tighter fuel efficiency standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, according to the White House,” reports USAToday.

And once again, he’ll use an executive order, bypassing Congress for your own good.

“The president will order the Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” continues the four-color national rag, “to develop and issue new fuel-efficiency and greenhouse gas standards by March 31, 2016, according to a White House report on the executive action Obama will announce.”

In cooperation with the Obama White House the term “executive order” appears nowhere in the story.

Instead, the administration has continued their Orwellian assault on the English language by changing the words "executive order" to “executive action.”
