Here is video of Illinois Democrat Rep. Phil Hare saying the U.S. Constitution "is near and dear to me," just one day after having been caught on video saying he "doesn't worry about the Constitution," when asked where in the Constitution the Congress had the authority to pass ObamaCare.

Hare complained about the "gotcha journalism" of today, and said he had been "taken out of context."

Watch the video below (Via SharpElbows.net) of what Hare said, and it does not sound like he was taken out of context. It sounds like he is clearly saying he just wanted to pass ObamaCare to provide Government help to 32 million people and he really didn't care whether there was Constitutional authority to do it or not! He's now in full damage-control mode.

"I love where he claims he read the ObamaCare bill 3 times. Someone worked out that would take 5 months reading a page a minute."

I don't believe that the guy read it either, but my 5-year-old granddaughter reads faster than that.

Every now and then, one of these stupid Communists slips up and spills the truth.

It's always kind of fun watching them backpedaling and trying to pull their feet out of their mouths.

Looks like he was trying to cross his fingers, but had a “finger malfunction”.
