On Capitol Hill this year, one of President Obama’s most troublesome critics has been Senator Obama.
President Obama, for instance, wants Congress to raise the national debt limit. But his opponents have brought up a statement that then-Sen. Barack Obama made in 2006: The first-term Democrat representing Illinois said that merely debating a debt-limit increase was “a sign of leadership failure.”
President Obama now insists that he had the right to dispatch U.S. forces to the conflict in Libya without authorization from Congress. Critics have noted that Sen. Obama seemed to feel differently about the proper use of military force in 2007.
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) even carries a quote from Sen. Obama in his pocket, to show people who don’t believe it.
“The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,” Obama said four years ago.

Quite a swicheroo. From Community Organizer to Warlord.
See.... the thing is, that even back then, Obama was just parroting whatever his handlers told him, and probably read those lines from some kind of pre-written speech his speechwriter composed.
When he’s reading a speech, he doesn’t judge what he is reading. He just reads it. He knows it’s all BS, and as long as the crowd liked the presentation, well....
I would bet the entire national debt that Obama has never actually read the Constitution , and studied it in depth.
Are you sure? Seems to me they both do the same thing.
The TOTUS made him say it.
Simple, no core values.
Senator Obama was a normal Doofus playing to the Doofus crowd. President Obama is a learned Doofus playing to the American people.
he was only a senator for about 15 minutes. he probably doesn’t remember what happened that afternoon.
Just a matter of scale.
He lied as a senator, now he lies as a president.
And the MSM calls him complicated.
From Community Organizer to War Criminal.
It just fits better, doncha think?
