The duty imposed upon him to take care that the laws be faithfully executed follows out the strong injunctions of his oath of office that he will preserve protect and defend the constitution. The great object of the executive department is to accomplish this purpose; and without it be the form of government whatever it may it will be utterly worthless for offence or defence; for the redress of grievances or the protection of rights; for the happiness or good order or safety of the people. --Justice Joseph Story
The ObamaPrompterIn the wake of Barack Hussein Obamas first State of the Union address much of the critical analysis from Republicans posited that he should do this instead of that.
Unfortunately when there is no more constitutional authority for a president to do this rather than that Republicans fail to distinguish themselves from Democrats since both parties are then advocating unlawful extra-constitutional policies.
Obamas SOTU teleprompters fed him a steady stream of poll-tested rhetoric none of which comports with the authority granted the Executive Branch unless of course one subscribes to the adulterated living constitution as amended by judicial diktat.
Predictably Obama offered only Socialist solutions to all ills and not a single suggestion that individual responsibility or the private sector economy should shoulder that burden at least not without government incentives a.k.a. centralized social and economic planning.
In 6200 words (second longest SOTU after Bill Clinton -- two narcissists who just cant hear enough of themselves) Obama referred to himself repeatedly and alleged that he was the anointed spokesman for we the American people more than 100 times.
On the other hand he mentioned the Constitution only twice.
First in his opening remarks Obama said Our Constitution declares that from time to time the president shall give to Congress information about the state of our union.
Correct.
Second he asserted We find unity in our incredible diversity drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution the notion that were all created equal...
As the Internet meme goes these days: FAIL! Uh uh uh -- that notion was enshrined in our Declaration of Independence third paragraph first sentence. One would think that this alleged professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School would have noticed such a simple yet substantial error.
Our Constitution is devoted to clearly delineating the limited role of the central government from the unlimited rights of the states and the people.
To that end James Madison author of our Constitution wrote The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.
Accordingly Obama mentions freedom only once and made absolutely no reference to liberty.
Nowhere in our Constitution is there any authority or provision for these key proposals from Obamas SOTU:
1. The power to further centralize regulation of our economy.
2. The power to completely regulate our national health care system. (Note: both the Democrat and Republican proposals lack constitutional authority). Obama even repeated his claim that the American people are just not smart enough to get on board: I take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the American people.
3. The power to further regulate and tax the production of CO2.
Obama reiterated his claims that the current recession was caused by Wall Street and then went on to insist that the only hope for ending the recession was government investment a euphemism for taxing money out of the private sector taking bureaucratic handling fees out then giving it to political constituencies.
To correctly interpret Obamas SOTU you need only filter everything he says through his foremost pledge that the his administrations charge is the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.
That is a line Obama lifted from the primary architect of his Socialist platform Robert Creamer who had earlier proclaimed If Barack Obama is elected president then we have the opportunity to fundamentally transform American politics and the economy.
Its likely that youve never heard of Bob Creamer because Barack Obama is very adept at concealing his association with his Marxist patrons.
In his younger days Obama was not concerned about such associations: I chose my friends carefully he wrote. The more politically active black students; the foreign students; the Chicanos; the Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.
But when he announced his aspirations to become a U.S. senator in 2004 Obama began to cover his tracks. He stopped associating publicly with Leftist colleagues and mentors such as Jeremiah Wright Michael Pfleger William Ayers Bernardine Dohrn Khalid al-Mansour Rashid Khalidi Bob Creamer and others.
Creamer is a member of Obamas Chicago mob a fellow community organizer and disciple of Saul Alinsky. Like all of Obamas Chicago benefactors Creamer believes that he is above the law or more appropriately that he is the law in todays age of the rule of men. But like Tony Rezko another of Obamas slick Chicago political backers Creamer was caught with his hand in the till and was convicted of a felony (bank fraud) back in 2004 when Obama was a state senator. Creamer got a softball sentence though: five months in a minimum-security facility for white-collar criminals and another 11 months of house arrest.
With all that time on his hands Creamer authored a book How Progressives Can Win which along with Alinskys Rules for Radicals serves as the template for Obamas campaign to fundamentally transform America.
Obama didnt use the word transform in his SOTU but he did insist that government must lay a new foundation for long-term economic growth under the pretense of reform in order to give our people the government they deserve.
I campaigned on the promise of change change we can believe in. I know there are many Americans who arent sure if they still believe that I can deliver it. I never suggested that change would be easy ... and when you try to do big things and make big changes it stirs passions and controversy.
And well it should.
Though Obamas efforts to nationalize the nations health care sector have been temporarily stalled he has no intention of giving up announcing that he is redoubling his efforts to expand central government controls over the private sector under cover of economic crisis. As White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Leading up to his SOTU Obama endeavored to portray himself as a fiscal conservative: We cant continue to spend as if deficits dont have consequences as if waste doesnt matter as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money thats what weve seen time and time again Washington has become more concerned about the next election than the next generation.
This is subterfuge.
Obama endeavors to portray himself as a constitutional conservative: We will lead in the observance of ... the rule of law. ... Dont mock the Constitution. Dont make fun of it. Dont suggest that its not American to abide by what the Founding Fathers set up. Its worked pretty well for over 200 years.
This is deception.
Obama endeavors to portray himself as a resolute commander in chief. Regarding Operation Iraqi Freedom he decreed Let me say this as plainly as I can: By August 31st 2010 our combat mission in Iraq will end. On Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan he declared After 18 months our troops will begin to come home. On the treatment of captive terrorists he says I will restore Americas moral standing. On the Long War with Jihadistan Obama claims The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam.
This is farce.
Obama is a dangerous neophyte in matters of national security and he shows no signs of improving.
If Republicans really want to defeat Obamas Leftist agenda they need to adopt the tried and true conservative message founded on Essential Liberty. Only then can they truly take control of the debate.
And while Virginia Governor Bob McDonnells response to Obamas SOTU address was encouraging the current crop of Republican leaders continues to play by Democrat rules attempting to sell a dangerous and debilitating elixir: We dont offend the Constitution as bad as they do.
Bottom line: Republicans must refocus on First Principles and govern accordingly.
Republicans can best distinguish themselves from Democrats by first and foremost honoring their sacred oath to support and defend our Constitution.
To that end Obama declared If you abide by the law you should be protected by it.
True but on the other hand if you are not going to abide by the law you should be impeached.
P.S. If you are going to seat two police officers next to your wife in the gallery the two who brought down the Ft. Hood jihadi terrorist you might at least acknowledge them.
