President Scofflaw By James Lewis I've seen many debates about the war powers of the U.S. Congress, but I've never seen an American president openly laugh at the idea of seeking congressional approval for a major U.S. military assault on another country. Obama did it with Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Kenya and tried it in Syria. But not in Iran. Gaddafi is dead, Libya is a disaster, and no one has gotten any answers. Other than that contemptuous laugh. The media don't even dare to ask questions. They are afraid of retaliation. I haven't seen an American president openly pressure the U.S. Supreme Court to protect his party's takeover of one-seventh of the American economy. As Charles Krauthammer pointed out regarding the assertion of Federal jurisdiction made by Obama: If [being born] ... means entering the market, Congress is omnipotent, authorized by the commerce clause to regulate "every human activity from cradle to grave." I have not seen any American administration publicly claim its powers to rule by arbitrary decree about illegal immigrants, like a European despot. I have not seen an American president take over banks and auto companies on behalf of his political friends, like the United Auto Workers. I have never seen a U.S. president give open approval to a campaign of law-breaking and sometimes violent " occupations" -- as this White House has done with sixty organized leftist mobs around the country, with the ACORN voter fraud group. I have never seen an administration that scapegoated the democratically elected opposition as " extremist." This administration has. Obama is the first American president to assert that " international permission" beats the U.S. Constitution. I have not seen a U.S. Justice Department that openly approved weapons-smuggling to the Sinaloa drug cartel, resulting in many Mexican killings. I have never seen a politician who ran on an anti-war platform defend targeted assassinations by executive order like AG Holder just did. On Fox News, Judge Napolitano sums it up: I think the president is dangerously close to totalitarianism[.] ... A few months ago he was saying, "The Congress doesn't count, the Congress doesn't mean anything, I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation." Now he's basically saying the Supreme Court doesn't count. It doesn't matter what they think. They can't review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing. The old word "scofflaw" denotes not just a lawbreaker, but somebody who mocks the law. American admire rebels, but not if they exercise vast and untrammeled power. Not when the sheriff takes the law into his own hands. Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/04/president_scofflaw.html#ixzz1rMiBA6Fb

ge Napolitano: 'The President Is Dangerously Close to Totalitarianism' Says power-mad Obama harbors 'extreme view' on role of the Supreme Court and Constitution... Appearing on Fox the other night, Judge Andrew Napolitano told Neil Cavuto that Barack Obama's flippant disregard for all other branches but the Executive is getting downright scary (and that's just going by what he says in public): Napolitano: "I think the President is dangerously close to totalitarianism. A few months ago he was saying, the Congress doesn’t count. The Congress doesn’t mean anything. I’m going to rule by decree and administrative regulation. Now he’s basically saying the Supreme Court doesn’t count. It doesn’t matter what they think. They can’t review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing, so I think he has some problems with understanding the Constitution or accepting limitations on his power. Look, they are equal branches of government, but with respect to what the law means, or the Constitution means, the Court is superior to the President… No President in modern times has questioned their authority. They’ve questioned the way the authority has been exercised – not their right to make the decision. This is an extreme view of the Supreme Court and the Constitution, one that has not been articulated since Andrew Jackson was in the White House...." If you don't think it could get any worse just re-elect this nut and see what happens next- Obama had Homeland Security order-up 650M bullets and bulletproof checkpoint booths for a reason.

Pub, > But when it comes to explaining what's really wrong with the economy, Romney is the perfect foil for Obama because Romney represents the richest of the rich -- a man who raked in more than $20 million last year, and paid a tax rate of just 13.9 percent (lower than much of the middle class). Really? That's what's wrong with the economy? Some people are just too rich and aren't taxed enough? Economic recovery indicators are looking positive, which can only help Obama. Yet his fellow Democrats are STILL playing the class warfare card. Kind of proves that Democrats are vested in misery. Tenchusatsu
