He added, "And yet while our problems may be new, what is required to overcome them is not. What is required is the same perseverance and idealism that our founders displayed.

"What is required is a new declaration of independence, not just in our nation, but in our own lives -- from ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry -- an appeal not to our easy instincts but to our 'better angels,' " he said, using a phrase from President Abraham Lincoln's inaugural address in 1861.

I have a bad feeling about this administration...

You're not the only one.....

I very strongly suspect he is going to openly call for some sort of revolution/movement/reorganization while inside the US Government to completely overturn the Constitution de jure instead of just de facto as they are acting now.

There are few things in history more dangerous than demagogues who seek the perfection of man. They first really manifested themselves in the form of the architects of the French revolution and attained their apotheosis in the 20th century in the form of Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. The founders never expected that any form of government could be perfected, given the fact that they generally accepted the Christian notion of the fallen nature of man, hence they dispersed governmental power so as to minimize the effects of corruption, and added a constitutional amendatory process.

This is why hearing such proposals from a political creature who hails from the most corrupt environs of Chicago leftist gutter politics is so troublesome. He has said that he rejects the constitutional constraints placed upon the constitution by the founders. I think that he intends to destroy its most important provisions.
