Need help finding an Obama quote (Vanity)
2/10/2012 | self

Posted on 02/10/2012 7:46:52 AM PST by christianhomeschoolmommaof3

Can someone please help me find an Obama quote that I recently read on FR? Basically, he said that the Constitution made it difficult for him to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish. Any help would be appreciated but especially video. Thanks!


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: constitution; obama

I found the exact words but not where they are from or when. Here is the quote

“It turns out that our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.”

“”What’s frustrated people is that I’ve not been able to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008. Well, it turns out our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes. But what we have been able to do is move in the right direction,” Obama said.””

Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer Sunday that “people” have been “frustrated” that “I have not been able to force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008.”

“Well, you know,” the president continued, “it turns out that our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.”

A while back I was making a point and I grabbed a number of quotes of Obama saying he’s like to “work around”, or “bypass congress”. One was speaking to a latino conference and another was at a union meeting, I think. There were several video clips on You Tube no longer come up. could it be they have been scrubbed in anticipation of the coming election?

In his state of the Union Address Obama stressed he would take power from Congress and bypass Congress if they did not do his bidding. Obama stated he would use dictatorial powers as needed.

“With or without this Congress, I will keep taking actions that help the economy grow.”

Just Business as usual at the "Ministry of Truth"...

Further proof that "Orwell wasn't a mere novelist, he was a modern day prophet who made his predictions in novel form..."

Here's a link to a youtube with Mark Levin (LINK)tearing into him over this. It includes the audio of the Obama's "negative" rights statement and at the 2:20 mark also contains the audio of this Obama gem:

"The U.S. Constitution... reflected the fundamental flaw of this country, that continues to this day."

What Obama said is: “F the Constitution. It is outdated, for RICH WHITES only and unforgiving. We need a paper that will give me powers to be DICTATOR FOR LIFE!!!”
