Obama is not found of the Constition and particularly the Bill of Rights and any powers reserved for the people or the states.
He views our rights as “negative rights” which tells the government precisely what it cannot do.
He wants a set of “positive rights” declared which would tell us all the neat things the Federal government can and should od for the rest of us “masses.”
Obama is a walking., talking marxist ideolog at heart...a command economy and society waiting to happen...and all his talk about the Constitution is tainted and painted with that hue.

I don’t know why the quotation marks. That is proper terminology. A little scientistic, but it’s the right idea. I, for one, view negative rights positively but still call them “negative,” because they are.
