"Does the Constitution permit a president to detain US citizens without charges as unlawful enemy combatants?" Obama's answer: "No. I reject the Bush Administration's claim that the President has plenary authority under the Constitution to detain US citizens without charges as unlawful enemy combatants." Memo to Obama: It is not the Bush administration's position. The Supreme Court held in 2004 -- this is the famous case, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. The president has the power to detain American citizens without charges as enemy combatants. Now, I just have to think here -- I don't know what to think. He's either ignorant or he's saying something far more dangerous. If he is saying that he's not bound by the Supreme Court's interpretation of the law, liberals would have a stroke if Bush claimed the kind of authority that Obama is claiming in this -- and ignorance.
Liberals are out there going bonkers every day over how stupid Bush is. This Obama interview is just scary. Let's see. Find another one here. He gets it wrong on who ratifies treaties and who consents to them. He says the president doesn't have the authority to abolish treaties. And the president does! Bush abolished the ABM Treaty shortly after taking office because Bush said it's irrelevant. The Soviets are gone. I'm getting rid of this. The liberals went nuts, but they couldn't stop him because the president does have the authority to get rid of treaties. Obama says here that the president does not have the authority to undermine Congress, the Senate here, which ratifies treaties. The Senate doesn't ratify, they consent to them. The president makes treaties, negotiates them, comes up with them. When's the last time you saw Gorbachev meeting with some senator at Reykjavik or anywhere else? Gorbachev met with Reagan, for crying out loud.
Yes, Obama is an ignorant little twit who has no business as POTUS.
BTTT~ This confirms what one Rush caller said today. Obama is too ignorant and green to really know how to accomplish anything, and to ignorant and green to keep from making HUGE mistakes. We’re dooooooomed.
Hmmm...Rush dropped out after one semester at the University of Missouri.
Obama was Law Review in his class at Harvard Law.
This kind of silliness does not help us, folks.

So that somehow excuses him from being WRONG?
Obama knows more than he did with the earlier thread and his voters know less. He is a mile ahead of all of them and gaining ground in the knowledge every day.
Rush dropped out after one semester at the University of Missouri.
Obama graduated with honors from Harvard and the was Law Review at Harvard Law School.
This sort of stuff just makes us look silly.
WiFi issues..sorry...
speaking of looking silly :-)
Bottom line, if Obama were white, you think he’d be at this point in the race? His only “accomplishment” is the color of his skin, just like that focus group moron said.
Actually it just makes Obama and Harvard look dumber based on his answers.
Anyone doubt that the Hillary Campaign is alive and well?

Scarier still are those who are smart enough to know what it says...yet choose to ignore it for political/personal gain.

See, this is what I mean...it (you, Sir Gawain) make us look silly.
It’s as if some former high school third string left offensive guard says, “Sheet, them starters at USC and Michigan ain’t so good. Me’n Elmer could whup ‘em.”
Do you have ANY idea how competitive life is at Harvard Law?
“This sort of stuff just makes us look silly.”
I don’t think Rush is on the ballot to be Leader of the Free World though.
So? Don’t they teach constitutional law at Hah-vud anymore?
Don’t worry about “us” looking silly, it’s not as if anybody’s saying a high gpa qualifies one to be President, yes?
Most America even republicans have no idea what socialism is.. They have no idea that it is Slavery by Government.. through democracy.. by a Mob of mobsters(an elite)..
