Writer Wonders What Constitution President Obama Swore To Uphold
Listen up, President Obama, we need to know what constitution it was that you swore to uphold in your oath of office, because apparently it wasn’t the U.S. Constitution. And yet, you claim to be a constitutional lawyer (what country?). You must have slept through the class.
Your gross constitutional violations are noted – the government takeover of banks and auto companies, the forced illegal distributions of stock and bond holdings, the termination of 3,000 auto dealerships, the unprecedented trillion dollar deficits, the highly intrusive and costly cap-and-tax bill coupled with Obamacare, all cry out as the venue of a focused tyrannical motivation resulting in a devastating unemployment of almost 10 percent in only nine months.
The constitutional rules of government are not yours to selectively chose to obey, your oath did not say “except for.” The devil is not in the details, he gleefully resides in D.C. wrapped in the shards of a shredded constitution.
The recent bullying of the small country of Honduras by you and Secretary State of Hillary Clinton was diplomatically despicable and further evidence of your constitutional contempt. You sided with a legally deposed president who attempted a coup in the same manner as your Venezuelan buddy Chavez. Ex President Zelaya’s departure was supported by every major Honduran institution, a legality you chose to ignore, setting a new level of international intervention.
Respect the office of the president? Yes, but not he who sits in the Oval Office and aborts the U.S. Constitution to push a socialist agenda.

I never said I was in the military. just because you call me DAD does not make it so; DAD is a Disabled Vet not me.
See you have so many lies going you can’t keep anything straight. Name calling is all you have.
Do you really think people can’t understand the U.S. Dollar dropping in values after BUSH almost bankrupted the USA ? Blaming it on the next President is just plain silly. What are you blaming him for GM going bankrut over health care cost ? Blaming Obama for Honoring the LEGAL CONTRACTS that Bushco/ Paulson made with the Banks ?
In case you forgot the Sec. of the U.S. Treasury has the ability to make legal contracts the U.S. Government must honor !
But then you only want to press you agenda to make Ameircan slaves to the Corporations and Indentured Servants.
Go to YOU TUBE and type in “Homeownership and President Bush”

See just how President Bush changed the rules even allowed for the changes in the Legal Contracts and used Tax Dollars for Down Payments.
You want people to forget that the Community Redvolpment Act had been around since the 1970’s when people began moviing to the Brubs to get away from City Taxes. The Cities when crying to Washington for help and they got the Community Redovelpment Act which came in Block Grants to rehab and sell homes in poor neighborhoods and keep Homeowners there instead of renters.
You keep crying Fannie and Freddie. Well Fannie and Freddie had some Ilegal Account Problems but they never made bad loans.
Even when the market crashed in Oct. 2008 Fannie and Freddie only had 4% of bad loans on thier books. ‘
Paulson had to force Fannie and Freddie to take the bad paper from failing banks. The HUGE mounts of Fraud was reported in 2004 by the FBI.
Republicans hold up appointments for months on in then ask why nothing is being done ????? Dems only got to 60 votes in the Senate after July.
Spreading lies to change history?
We know what happened and we will not forget!
Why do you not find fault with the Corporations spending Billions in Wahington on Lobbyist ????
They are charging a man with a Felony for making a false police report of a boy in a Ballon but the Police never charged the Movie Maker for filing false claims to get Government Grants or taxpayers dollars when pretending to be a pimp and a hooker. Police were called and they risk their lives to answer the calls ?
Is a Colorado Policemans life or a Firefighters life more important than a Policemans life on the East Coast when called ?
I have two words for you: implied powers. This is why Obama can do what seems to some as being unconstitutional.
“Implied powers” are those powers authorized by a legal document(from the Constitution) which, while not stated, are deemed to be implied by powers expressly stated. When George Washington asked Alexander Hamilton to defend the constitutionality of the measure against the protests of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph, Hamilton produced what has now become the classic statement for implied powers]Hamilton argued that the sovereign duties of a government implied the right to use means adequate to its ends. Although the United States government was sovereign only as to certain objects, it was impossible to define all the means that it should use, because it was impossible for the founders to anticipate all future exigencies. Hamilton noted that the “general welfare clause” and the “necessary and proper” clause gave elasticity to the constitution. Hamilton won the argument with Washington, who signed his Bank Bill into law.
Even Hamilton’s adversary, Thomas Jefferson, used the principle to justify his Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Later, directly borrowing from Hamilton, Chief Justice John Marshall invoked the implied powers of government in the court decision of McCulloch v. Maryland. This was used to justify the denial of the right of a state to tax a bank, the Second Bank of the United States, using the idea to argue the constitutionality of the United States Congress creating it in 1816.
In the case of the United States government, implied powers are the powers exercised by Congress which are not explicitly given by the constitution itself but necessary, and proper to execute the powers which are.

Dad/ Oldman
Congratulations- at least you appeared to be sober for your last post…
However, you keep sqwaking about the Trillions of dollars of Nat’l Debt, but always attribute it to Bush.
So, what’s Obama’s share of the debt in your book?
None?
Wait a minute Oldman, I’m not fan of Bush, but you forget the power/pressure exerted by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd on the housing crisis. They are the ones that initiated forcing the banks to make bad loans to those who could not afford the mortgage. make sure you spread the blame arouond, buddy.
Jim Marshall,
You are a frothing Republican. If the Republicans had of won the election, the take over of the banks would have happened anyway. The 10% unemployment was already happening as we slid merrily down the path to depression.
The car dealership closings—were the direct result of Detroit’s own business ineptitude and commonsense when faced with peak oil.
Obamacare? I’d rather have had the original plan than the one the Republicans and Big Insurance will ram down our throats after they finish brow beating Obama into submission. It will happen, but Big Insurance will come out on top. Sure blame Obama, but it’s once again the Republicans getting in the way.
International intervention? Darn you forget to soon…. Bush and Iraq.. remeber - no WMDs, heck the terrorists responsible for 911 were running around in the mountains of Afghanistan. Bush’s invasion of Iraq—was for oil, and nothing more.
We as a country are no where near being a socialist country. You label the things Obama is pushing as socialism. But what about Social Securoty and Medicare?? They ARE socialism in progress, have been for decades. How about foodstamps and unemployment? All those things could be labeled as socialist reforms. And YES—- given to us by a Democratic president—FDR.
So get off your high horse and quit taking your angry cues from FoxNews.
Oldman—aka dad. Seems all you can do is play the ‘blame game card’ and blame Bush for everything. Getting very old to read your posts as they are all the exact same.‘ Guess by continuing to play the ‘blame’ card, you don’t have to accept the fact you voted for a Marxist loser. Who is leading this country down a quick path to distruction…
IF you truly had been in the military for umpteen years, as you say, then I would think that the constitution would mean more to you than it appears to….just a thought.
Secondly, I could care less ‘who started’ ‘it’ as this is 4th grade…no wait….2nd grade, however, I care about whats going on NOW and its horrible.
So lets deal with the here and now, ok? lets figure out a way to stop this march toward Socialism or we will be that ‘3rd world country’ you had to ‘go to’ to fight. If we allow BO & Co to continue their distruction of our country, our consitution, then you won’t have to travel far to be in that 3rd world country…you will be IN that 3rd world country. Most likely some of the ‘other’ 3rd world—you know that older 3rd world country that has been there for eons? Those people will be over here to fight us HERE! On THIS soil!
I don’t care what Bush did, I don’t care what Clinton did, we need to fix what BO & Co is doing to us NOW!
Never before have we encountered someone like BO & CO and he IS moving at warp speed in tearing down what has been built since the beginning of this country.
Do I know what to do? No, but I know we are going to need to do a march on DC or something quickly to let these marxist know that we WiLL not stand for what they are doing and be rentless until THEY STOP!
I just know it gets real old reading the same ole, same ole mantra on these posts when people ‘play he same ole card’ over and over and over….and I might add, YOU, oldman, aka dad, have to be one of the worst! However, you are NOT alone!
Lets use this in a constructive way to figure out WHAT we can do to stop this distruction of OUR country BEFORE its TOO LATE!
Do you need VIDEO PROOF THAT BUSH CAUSED THE HOUSING CRISIS AND THE $217 TRILLION DOLLAR LOSS ?
HERE IT IS—-
“ Americas Homeownership Challenge”,

( WAKEUPAMERICA) YOU WRITE “Regardless, this ‘agenda’ of the Chicago mob that has moved to the White House is Power and Control over everyone’s life!
