KNIGHT: Obama tears up the Constitution The scope of his lawless disregard expands by the day The Constitution of the United States, whose adoption we celebrate every Sept. 17, clearly lists the powers of each branch of the national government. Let’s take a look at what Barack Obama, like any president, is empowered to do and see if it squares with his actions. In Article II, Section 1, he is sworn to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Section 2 names the president as commander in chief of the armed forces, grants him the power to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate and to appoint ambassadors, federal judges, Cabinet officials and other federal officers. Section 3 says the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” In his two years and nine months in office, President Obama has compiled a spectacular record of noncompliance with the Constitution. Here are just some of the ways his administration has failed to execute the laws while using raw, unauthorized power.... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/16/obama-tears-up-the-constitution/

Obama thinks someone died and made him king.

You might want to ask the mods to correct the title, author and date of publication.

Good find.

OBAMA:
“...What kind of country would this be
if this chamber had voted down Social Security or Medicare
just because it violated some rigid idea
about what government could or could not do?...”

I was deeply ashamed of my country the day the American people elected that man into office. I will never trust the voting public to make a sane choice again.

It would be a country without a disastrous Ponzi scheme and facing bankruptcy.

Most likely private programs would have been established to solve these matters - a la Chile and Galveston.

A wealthier country with better and cheaper health care?

If memory serves me, Chile had a very European style Social Security that was just like ours, an attempt for social utopia. But then Chile hit bottom, defaulted multiple times and finally, unlike the current crop of Socialists running both branches of the ruling class (Dims and Pubs), they actually stopped doing the same thing, the same way, and expecting different results and changed their system. PLEASE, do not hold your breath while waiting on the ruling class to come to their senses. All they know is New Deal liberalism and the most detestable socialism of all, Progressivism.

“In his two years and nine months in office, President Obama has compiled a spectacular record of noncompliance with the Constitution.”

So what? He has proven we can do nothing about it.

Obama has been watching too many old movies because he thinks he is one of the character actors, i.e. the Mexican who said “We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution.”

Holder is like Harvey Corman in “Blazing Saddles”.

Pelosi, Reid, and Wasserman-Schulz are like the “Three Stooges”; the “Three monkeys - hear, see and know nothing”;
the two lead characters in “Dumb and Dumber”; and collectively like the captain of the Titanic.

In fact, Wasserman-Putz sounds more and more like Sgt. Schulz “I Know Nothing” on steroids.

Obama also sounds a lot like Paul Robeson, the crazy leader in “The Emperor Jones.”

Michelle sounds like all three witches in “MacBeth”; the evil witch in “Snow White”; and when mad, looks like the creature in “Star Trek” - “That Which Survives”.

White House spokesthing Jay Carney reminds me of “Salacious Crumb”, the pet of Jobba the Hut in “Star Wars”.

Obama’s spending habits (as well as those of most Democrats) remind me of the endless “Sarlac Pit” from Star Wars.

Brian Williams, Chris Mattews, Keith Olbermann, LAwrence O’Donnell and most MSNBC/NBC/ABC and NBC news moderators act like “Bobba Fett”, the bounty hunter in “Star Wars”, all after Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Rick Perry, and any member of Congress who tells the truth and also calls Obama on his crazy plans.

Unfortunately, Obama and his marxist, mealy-mouthed minions are not “fiction”, but are “real”, much to the detriment of America.

On Nov. 6, 2012, America will clean out the political smut and nuts of Obama and the Democrats, and reality, unlike the movies, will be safe for loyal Americans to partake of again.

It is the duty of both houses of congress and the judiciary to hold him in check.....but they appear to be complicit in the trashing of our constitution.

Who will save this sacred document?
