How can he swear?
He can LIE!!

Does Islam not consider lying to ‘infidels’ ,to promote an
Islamic world, as ‘good’?

Where were all you people back in the days of... Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper ...

I am thankful that you're stepping up but where were you earlier when it was happening with an actual President?

I agree that recognizing slavery was a serious flaw in the Constitution that led directly to the Civil War.

But what else could the framers have done? Create two Americas? (Calling John Edwards, LOL!)

There’s just no end to the fun you can have with this stuff.

Include in the Constitution a process for changing it when necessary, an amendment process. That's why all Americans, regardless of race, gender, and property ownership now vote.

Yeah, but that amendment process is too cumbersome, too slow, and too unlikely to yield the “social justice” that we need.

So, it’s much better to just have the judiciary “interpret” the Constitution to provide “social justice”.

Is a sarc tag necessary?

It didn’t have enough protections against government overreaching its powers and violating our rights.

Actually, that is what the 2nd amendment is all about.

It’s so flawed it’s worked for nearly 200+ years.

If only everything good and decent had a shelf life like that.

Exactly right.

I believe the Scatterbrain's choice of words, ('the Constitution is flawed'), was a deliberate canard. In order to achieve his goal(s) then one of its major hurdle, (our Constitution), has to be revised, or even decimated. Those goals would be the elevation of the blacks at the expense of the whites. I sincerely believe Obama, and his wife, have a significant abhorrence of whites. They want whites to 'pay' for what they deem has been the subjugation of blacks to a lower-class citizens. (never mind a black is now POTUS, logic and fact not welcome in the Obama mindset). Obama, and wife, in my opinion, honestly believe that all the problems of the black community are caused by whites.

Obama, and wife, are oblivious to those problems, or the causes of, brought upon the black community by blacks themselves. And if they were not it wouldn't matter, the problem would still be the fault of the whites.
This is why, again in my opinion, he keeps on harping about Abe Lincoln. Obama couldn't care less about Lincoln, only to use his 'freeing of the slaves' as a symbolic prop to keep the eyes of his mesmerized supporters on the pendulate timepiece - manufactured by Hope & Change rather than Timex.
Recent remarks from Ayers confirms that this group actually sees modern-day America as a 'white supremacist' nation, and they are going to use any tactics to correct this perceived injustice.

Our first black President may very well set race relations back seventy years.
