He understands. Obama is trying to discredit our system of checks and balances with his ignorant followers. They don’t understand how the system is intended to work or how important it is that it works as intended, and they don’t care. It’s a ploy to get more votes by stirring up hate for the system.
I have to disagree SWAMP. What Obama is doing is somewhat clever. He is using the very same rhetoric that we on the right have been using for some time. Let’s be honest with ourselves. We conservatives have criticized numerous courts for enacting liberal laws through “judicial activism”. Obama is mocking us publicly, and I fear he may score some serious political points with his mockery. What we on the right must do is explain to the public the difference between “judicial activism” (which is what liberal judges engage in) and correctly interpreting the Constitution (which is what conservative judges do.) If we don’t answer Barry’s taunts with clear, reasoned arguments, he may win the battle, at least the battle of public opinion.
