Obama's Lawless Presidency Close To Totalitarianism
IBD Editorials ^ | June 18, 2012 | Editor

The Obama Record

The Obama Record: The chief executive who swore to faithfully execute the nation's laws picks those he'll ignore and makes up others through regulation and executive order. He sees no need for a Congress or Constitution.

Maybe it's because Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts stumbled a bit in leading President Obama through the oath of office that the president doesn't feel bound by it.

But through the awkwardness these words were heard: "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

It would not take Obama long to make clear he meant his interpretation of the Constitution, not the Supreme Court's, a principle established in Marbury v. Madison, the 1802 case that formed the basis for the exercise of judicial review in the U.S. under Article III of the Constitution.

In his State of the Union address a year later on Jan. 27, 2010, he shamefully scolded the justices on national television for "having reversed a century of law" in the Citizens United ruling in which the court was protecting the freedom of political speech enshrined more than two centuries ago in the First Amendment. We agree with Justice Samuel Alito's eloquent rebuff of the president, in which he was seen mouthing the words "Not true."

And once again, I catch more hell from the people here than the President does and I’m not the one seizing your freedom.

Another day in Obamaland. :)

“This guy can't be held to an oath that he's not qualified to make.”


Reminds me of the saying that Muslims can lie if it justifies Islam or beats the Infidels.
(I think it is something like that.)

He's not a citizen

We really do not know if he's here legally. Ive seen nothing to show that he is. The fact that he fabricated a birth certificate suggests to me that he's not. It takes cojones to come out with a fake document like he did. Something's odd there.

We cannot be taken seriously about Immigration Laws when there's doubt about the man in the White House. How can we allow a possible "illegal" to live in the White House and not allow them to live in El Paso?

I'm not saying Obama's an illegal immigrant. I'm just saying he has yet to provide proof to satisfy the US Constitution that he is eligible to be President.

There are two possible reasons:

1) He's not eligible and he does not want us to know.

OR

2) He is eligible but he wants to prove to the American People that what the US Constitution says no longer matters.

Taqiyya

meaning religious dissimulation, adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion. Taqiyya was developed to protect Shi'ites who were usually in minority and under pressure.ey are under those risks

I should add that it's because of number two...

2) He is eligible but he wants to prove to the American People that what the US Constitution says no longer matters.

That every real conservative should be a "Birther".

pretty strong words....”totalitarian” in a major newspaper.

And we don't even have to mention Godwin's Law to realize what is happening.

The first egregious trigger event in my mind was him declaring Congress to be in recess, when they were still in official session, and making a number of illegal recess appointments. Were there worse before that? There probably were. I just can’t remember.

Contact Nachum. He can fill you in on all the sordid details.

I hate to keep repeating myself, but we ARE in the midst of a Marxist takeover.

Right after the election I had this for a tag line and it did not generate one comment;

We just had a bloodless Coup d'état, do we care?

Oh well.......
