Thank you for referencing this blog NOBO2012. Please bear in mind that the following critique of the blog is directed agaist MOTUS, not you.

While I appreciate the idea that Obama has become a lame duck president because the gun bill to take away our 2A rights has failed, even patriots seem to have forgotten that, because of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, all presidents are essentially lame-duck presidents by design. After all, the president’s powers are limited to being commander in chief of the armed forces, leading the Senate to negotiate treaties and to regulate trade between the states and foreign countries, and also to help regulate intrastate postal services, regulating postal services being one of the few powers that the federal government actually has to regulate intrastate commerce.

All other things that Congress and presidents have been doing in defiance of state sovereignty since Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR wrecked our system have been based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers, actually 10th Amendment protected state powers which corrupt Congress in cahoots with corrupt presidents have wrongly usurped from the states.

The bottom line is that, given the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers which many patriots don’t seem to be aware of, as previously mentioned the Founding States had arguably planned for all presidents to be lame-duck presidents, spending as much time on golf courses as Obama has.
