CONSTITUTION???? The God-King Obama don’ need no stinkin’ CONSTITUTION!

Dear leader is not constrained by such an out-dated, racist document like that. Just ask anyone at CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/NPR/E!/MSNBC/Pacifica/Huffington/DailyKos/AP/WashPost/NYTimes about this!!

“...Constitutional Authority...”

Why, don’tcha remember? HE’S a “Constitutional Scholar”!!! The dems told us so over and over... So if HE says he can do it, then who are we to disagree???

I mean, he can’t utter a single intelligible sentence without a teleprompter, but da boy does know his Constitution!!!!

Umm.... yeah... or something like that, anyway...

Where is the constitutional authority for the president to do this?

Picky, picky!

OK.

I just checked my copy of the Constitution but couldn't find anything in there about a President on his own setting up a public multi-trillion dollar "investment" fund and obligating government money via Treasury bonds or even obligate the personnel or establish the legal infrastructure to run it.

But maybe I missed something?

Oh, wait. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place? Perhaps I should consult a copy of the Soviet Constitution?

Let me check, but I doubt it is there, either...
