A stern President Obama lectured Republicans on Thursday, one day after they accepted a Democrat deal to end the government shutdown and raise the debt limit until Feb. 7—getting nothing in return.

The president suggested that the system of checks and balances invoked by tea party Republicans in an attempt to defund Obamacare is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

With a government like this? The Founders would be shooting by now....

They would have been finished years ago.

He is mentally ill.

If only it were that simple. Obama is a tool of Satan. The United States was founded by divine providence. We have brought this judgement on ourselves as we have turned away from God.

Pot, meet kettle. And, wondering what the H exactly does Obama know about OUR founding fathers? Zip. This man is a certified froot-loop.

The Founding fathers had a revolution over far less than what we’re dealing with today.

A continuation of the recent flag-waving by the Left — it’s new strategy.

Ok, I get it now. Obama thinks HE is one of the Founding Fathers and this is not what HE had in mind. Of course, it’s always about HIM. Always.

One look at the country today and the Founding Fathers would be moving elsewhere to start over.

Obviously, King Barry has never read James Madison's Federalist #58.

It’s you, Obama, whom they would not approve. They fought wars, gave up their property and their names, to get rid of the likes of you.

You, sir, are King George III with a tan.

Hanging probably more than shooting.

They would have been shooting on Feb 3, 1913 or maybe in 1934. Perhaps 1964 at the latest.

To be hanged, drawn and quartered (sometimes rendered hung, drawn and quartered) was from 1351 the penalty in England for men guilty of high treason, although its use is first recorded during the reign of King Henry III and that of his successor, Edward I. The convicted were fastened to a wooden hurdle which was dragged by horse to the place of execution. Once there, they were ritually hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered (chopped into four pieces). As a warning against further dissent, these remains were often displayed at prominent places, such as London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were burnt at the stake.

The founders would have impeached this piece of shite president by now, and would have frog marched him into the nearest brig.
