I guess those are his buddies now. He sure dissed Canada.
I would like to see him behind bars in perpetuity.
President Obama did deliver a speech in Brussels on 26 March 2014 ("Remarks by the President in Address to European Youth") from which those words were taken, but the quote presented in the video splices together two entirely separate portions of the address.
What Obama actually said was a bit different in the proper context, and the excerpted phrasing below is highlighted:
Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build. Throughout human history, societies have grappled with fundamental questions of how to organize themselves, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. And it was here in Europe, through centuries of struggle through war and Enlightenment, repression and revolution that a particular set of ideals began to emerge: The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose. The belief that power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding. And those ideas eventually inspired a band of colonialists across an ocean, and they wrote them into the founding documents that still guide America today, including the simple truth that all men and women are created equal. But those ideals have also been tested here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. Often, this alternative vision roots itself in the notion that by virtue of race or faith or ethnicity, some are inherently superior to others, and that individual identity must be defined by "us" versus "them," or that national greatness must flow not by what a people stand for, but by what they are against.
Not defending him, but keeping the record straight.
Article 1 Section 8 Fourth Paragraph:
“The Congress shall have the power...To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization....”
As the grants of naturalization cannot occur without immigration, it appears that øbola doesn’t have that leg to stand on.
The House should immediately defund the White House down to bare-bones levels.
To what?
Marry a man tranny?
Indonesian Go Home!
Princess Spite has decreed!
The punk POTUS must have slept during the civics class that described governmental “lawmakers”, and “administrators”. In any case this is an undeniable circumvention of the constitution, and hopefully consequences will be swift and severe.
Except a record of every single democrat who voted not to abate the punk POTUS. We could get some good mileage out of that come the '16 elections.
He is weak. Weak. Without the threat of amnesty...he has nothing...What? Climate change...LOL...he is running out of options.
Thanks for that! Sent it to the person who emailed it to me.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future

And we will use our power to remove you from office.
This multiple expletives omitted POS is willing to break our system of govt to “fix” an immigration system he “thinks” is broken in order to flood the country with lawbreaking deadbeat RAT voters. Stop this by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
So, he can now do that he has stated on numerous occasions what he could not do.
