The Oath of Office


When Congress refuses to act then I have an obligation to do what I can without them - Barak Obama

This just goes to show how lawless Obama is as well as his contempt for the constitution. This should have caused every American a great deal of concern when he said it, yet the media had almost nothing to say about it and as a result most Americans are not aware that we have such a man now running the country. Who knows maybe many Americans feel that if congress can’t get their act together maybe there is something wrong with the constitution and this is what needs to be done.

If this is the case then all I can say is that these people are not thinking very clearly. They do not understand where this can ultimately go, whether it is with this president or with another. Ultimate power was not vested in the president or any other individual person for a reason.

Oddly we have a president to makes a habit of accusing his opponents of the very things he’s doing. Most label this hypocritical, but when it is about almost everything it becomes sociopathic, or something else. Most people who are hypocrites really don’t realize they’re doing the very thing they accuse others of. I believe in Barak Obama’s case he is completely aware that he’s doing those thing. The reason he accuses others first of the things he’s either doing or already done is because it makes it harder for them to turn around an accuse him.

Just talking in this way as more than a joke should be treated with the utmost concern and vigilance. Though it may not legally be so, it seems that such talk borders on being an impeachable offense. Regardless he has indeed acted on the talk and has now bypassed congress on several occasions overturning laws they passed with the scribble of a pen on an executive order. The president doesn’t have such power and as such impeachment proceedings should have begun. The excuse that he may be out of office at the next election is no reason for congress not to uphold the laws of the land and the constitution.

If the men and women we send to be our representatives cannot be bothered to uphold and defend the constitution and live up to their word then I can see no reason to send them back. The same is true of the president who has equally done everything he can to find ways around the constitution as well. It is long past time for these people to go and for us as citizens to do everything we can to be informed voters making sure such people don’t get in or if they do that they don’t go back!
