We don’t know what the pirate Roberts allowed him to swear to in that ‘private’ swearing in, January, 2009.

Obama’s comments to La Raza are frightening!
The headline reads “change the rules” but the video shows that Obama actually said -
“some people want me to bypass Congress and change the LAWS on my own............believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting.”
And the crowd chanted “Yes you can.”
Who are these people who want him to bypass Congress and change the laws? Could this be considered sedition??

Apparently “The Constitution” isn’t ‘on the books.’

Yes, this is the Man Child this country, suffering from black racism, victim group-hope, and white guilt has put in charge of our collective futures.
His ego ("I have the gift"), his demeanor (Mussolini picture below) and his monstrously socialist background have instilled him with a hatred of hard work, real sharing and traditional American values.
He's nothing but a petty third-world dictator seeking to subjugate complainers and turn them into idolizers or just punish them out of existence. He's a tyrant and when he's amongst friends (La Raza), his true colors out.

I think he IS trying us - with countless czars and executive orders that contain edicts that would NEVER pass a legislative vote, he IS bypassing congress and making rules on his own. There doesn’t seem to be anyone in government who cares or has the stones to call him on it though.
And mega dittos on the FUBO!

“...very tempting. I promise you.”
To: HereInTheHeartland
But you would have to get the military to go along with your coup and they won't support you. Wishful thinking I fear.

Obama: I’d Like ‘to Bypass Congress and Change the Rules on My Own’
Obama: I’d Like ‘to Bypass The Election and Declare Victory on My Own’
Obama: I’d Like ‘to Bypass The 22nd Amendment and Be President as Long as I Want’
Obama: I’d Like ‘to Bypass Reality and Be Competent and Capable’
Good luck with that.

bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. I'm sure Hitler and Stalin felt the same way.
I expect that soon we'll have our own Reichstag fire then within a few days he can round up all of his political prisoners and torture them to death.
Next time someone calls a conservative a nazi, remind them that von Hindenberg was no flaming liberal and Hitler, the force for change they could believe in, was no card-carrying conservative.

To: markomalley
He told the National Council of La Raza, Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.This may have been said, but a generation ago, when there were still some people up there with integrity, he would've been tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail for a speech like that.
GOD I hate that man!
