Mr. President, perhaps amidst the merriment surrounding the inaugural festivities you misremembered your oath. Sir, you solemnly swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. But these few weeks hence, your State of the Union speech essentially disavowed Americas cherished founding charter. Many left-leaning pundits applaud your bold vision to radically redefine America.
President Obama, you are understandably emboldened by re-election, but you were not made king. Regardless of whether you agree with constitutional precepts, youre still legally bound; still compelled by the sacred oath you swore.
Perhaps while lecturing college students on Constitutional Law you read it. What authorization supports the myriad initiatives you presented to Congress? Those few matters you articulated within what was entrusted to the federal executive betrayed a radical departure from the Founders vision. Defense at least falls within your legitimate purview, but your desire to push women into combat seem more about repudiating Americas heritage than buttressing her military.
The SOTU address advanced the progressive agenda suggested at your inauguration which you delivered mere moments after vowing subservience to the very Constitution you have consistently abused in word and deed.

What the author meant, of course, is that Obama remembers always his intention to undermine the constitution at every opportunity.
