“...customer-friendly government...”

Is that what the ammo is for?

” customer “
Definition
A person, company, or other entity which buys goods and services produced by another person, company, or other entity.

By this definition, the Customers he refers to could either be the productive, tax-paying, sector of society (which he has been waging open war on) or the Banking Elites who pay for political favors....

I wonder which one he means, here.... Hmmmmm???

I’d be dam%&d delighted to see a Federal Government conscious of who its employers really are...and reminding them of that fact wouldn’t require the Second Amendment!!

Obama’s government will be one big, all encompassing, corporation, ascended above the throne of God, and it will be friendly when it picks up the phone, or sends its agents to control your behavior, take your money and parse out your property. We will be told what to eat and drink by smiling bureaucrats, and they will have special sales people to tell us what we can drive, what fuels we can use, and how much we can use, what jobs we can have, what medical care we need and don’t need, what our educations will be, what we can read, hear on the news, or browse on the internet. If we don’t agree, Obama’s government will have pleasant people to take us away. If you are a conservative white, anti gay, anti Islamist, Christian, or pro life, happy people will be appointed to shoot you.

Great, now the foreign national says we’re customers not citizens. Judging by all the illegals he helps I would say the company is being looted

Customer MY ASS!!! The American people are the employers, the federal and local governments are our employees. If the American people stopped paying taxes, because they believe you are not doing your job, you would be out of business in a heartbeat.

"I think the best role the federal government can play is oftentimes listening and trying to come to consensus at the local level and making sure the federal government is not getting in the way of that consensus once it's built up

Yea - just like when Arizona tried to deal with their illegal immigrant problem or - when Boeing relocated to South Carolina.

He defines consensus the same way Mao, Che, Fidel, Chavez and Stalin did/does.

This statement provides another of those revealing looks into the core philosophy of a man who flouts the reality presented by the Oath of Office which any American President must take. That core reality is:

1. The 1787 Constitution of the United States is "the People's" document to limit and control the government it structures by specifying and placing strict limits on any powers which "the People" grant to elected officials within that document.

2. Any elected official, including the Executive (President) is a servant of "the People," whose Constitution he/she swears to uphold as the "Supreme Law of the land." The "government" that Executive is elected to Administer has no "customers." It has "the People" who are, according to Justice Story, "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution" (See final para. - Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution").

3. The "government" is not a grantor of rights, nor is it a dispenser of the coercively collected earnings of "the People." Its primary assigned duty is as a defender and upholder of the Constitution and the defense of the unalienable, Creator-endowed individual rights of the "only KEEPERS" of the Constitution, "the People."

John Quincy Adams was a child of 9 in 1776 and Age 11 when the Constitution was framed in 1787. His father was a leader in the cause of liberty, and served as President under the Constitution. So did John Quincy, who also served in various other offices, including in the Congress until his death. His understanding of the Constitution and the duties of Office, as well as the history of the Republic is summarized in his "Jubilee" Address in 1839, here. One of his statements relates specifically to the role of the President:

"The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor; or either House of Congress will effectually control his power. It is thus, and in no other sense that the Constitution of the United States is democratic - for the government of our country, instead of a Democracy the most simple, is the most complicated government on the face of the globe." - John Quincy Adams
