FOILED BY THE CONSTITUTION?

(Dec. 15, 2013) — Viral Forbes OP/ED Cites the Powers of Principle in Congressional Check of Executive Powers & U.S. News LTR. The Republicans are beginning to see the light dawning but is it to little to late?
One of the very key elements of political opposition is being able to corner your opponent so you can focus or clarify with razor sharpness the positives of your point and the negatives of your opponents in order to win your argument or perhaps even win your political race.
When you become the focus of laser sharp attacks its probably best that you make like the drabbest wallpaper you can conjure up. Obama did that as a U.S. Senator voting present 129 times which was about 3% of the his total votes. Voting “present” on key issues was a way Obama could avoid becoming a target of focus groups that he very well might need for his presidential contest. It was a way to keep more people on his side then focused against him.
Indeed the strategy has been employed on the issue of Obama’s eligibility by nearly all of Congress at one time or another as they coward to the card of ‘racism’ orchestrated by the media upon the whipping boy Donald Trump in the site of every elected official with great crescendo and vibrato.
Obama’s 5th Amendment Cancelled w Release of Long Form Fabrication
Now defenders of Obama say he, “used the ‘present vote’ to protest bills that he believed had been drafted unconstitutionally or as part of a broader legislative strategy.” In the tyrannical world of despotism Obama is not only good at this; he’s brilliant, but in a Republic that same brilliance can be seen as absolute stupidity and the argument for Obama being “constitutional” in the realms of policy as well as qualified for the Office according to the Constitution are beginning to pave a familiar road and may very well become one in the near future.
Did you see this OP/ED by chance in Forbes Magazine “Obama’s Disdain For The Constitution Means We Risk Losing Our Republic” http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2013/11/19/obamas-disdain-for-the-constitution-means-we-risk-losing-our-republic/
Now when in the world do you see an OP/ED in Forbes magazine like this and do not understand that even the Republicans have a limit to which they are willing to yank the leash of their dog bent on chasing a rabbit? That’s the checks and balances of our Government and the ability for everyone of the three branches of Government to remind the opposing party as well as the other two branches of Government that they are part of the equation walking down the road trying to maintain some sort of etiquette.
What’s all the ‘hubbub’ about? Well, Republicans are livid that Obama has basically soiled their plan in the 2014 election by changing Obamacare solely on his wish. A President can propose and veto legislation, what he’s not suppose to do is change existing law all by himself.
Okay, Obamacare became law with the passage of it through the House and Senate with a Presidential signature? This of course is where I part ways with most people because Obama is not a qualified President as he fails the qualification of the Constitution demanding a ‘natural born citizen’ which by the nature of its importance in the first place removes any alien citizenship of birth place or parentage for two generations which we can encapsulate in the term “Born in the U.S. to Citizen Parents” of which there are no doubts Obama fails.
But just assuming the Constitution demanded the same qualification for the Representatives and Senators and President for one instance, and Obama was qualified under the sub-standard afforded us, Obama has changed the law of Obamacare 5 times in a negligence of his duty to enforce or execute the laws.
As an example, after the Obamacare crash many Congressmen urged Obama to change the individual mandate the same way he had changed the employer mandate. I believe November 27th, 2013 announced a one year delay or exception of small businesses under 50 employees from online enrollment which was said to be a major setback for healthcare.gov; however, we notice that delay is after the 2014 elections. The ramifications of which are undoubtedly to delay the postage prepaid pain of Obamacare for Democrats out for re-election or election.
The tactical delay of the law disfavors Republicans because they can’t sit back and watch the public coming in droves to vote for them based on the disaster of Obamacare debiting accounts illegally and generally soaking the public for all they are worth in the name of a tax-hike for their health insurance, mind you that’s still not health care; it’s just the business of insurance. If the Government wanted to be in the insurance business they should have chosen ‘car’ insurance and not ‘health’ insurance, as the odds are better and the promises easier kept.
In this sense, Obama has chosen not minding his name placed on the biggest disaster since his own illegal or unconstitutional election which is probably fitting. Now Congress is just catching on to the little Constitutional Game-Changer Obama plays, or what we should say is they are starting to get a clear picture of impending defeat and grasp some semblance of the Constitution as the life jacket of their drowning death.
Obama certainly doesn’t see it that way. Obama sees it as his way of just picking the convenient times to enforce certain provisions of the law by electoral convenience. It’s not as if Obama has another election to run, either, so you have to see he’s paying up on the IOU’s of people who are up for election who went to bat for him earlier.
I would like you to inspect the writings of George Washington to Madison Nov. 5, 1786 in thinking of the time right now we are going through…in urging Congress to check the Executive Branch for proper qualifications and in such the very necessity of signature making any law indeed lawful?
“How melancholy is the reflection, that in so short a space, we should have made such large strides towards fulfilling the prediction of our transatlantic foe! “leave them to themselves, and their government will soon dissolve.” Will not the wise and good strive hard to avert this evil? Or will their supineness suffer ignorance, and the arts of self-interested designing disaffected and desperate characters, to involve this rising empire in wretchedness and contempt? What stronger evidence can be given of the want of energy in our governments than these disorders?”
“If there exists not a power to check them, what security has a man for life, liberty, or property? To you, I am sure I need not add aught on this subject, the consequences of a lax, or inefficient government, are too obvious to be dwelt on. Thirteen Sovereignties pulling against each other, and all tugging at the federal head will soon bring ruin on the whole; whereas a liberal, and energetic Constitution, well guarded and closely watched, to prevent encroachments, might restore us to that degree of respectability and consequence, to which we had a fair claim, and the brightest prospect of attaining. With sentiments of the sincerest esteem etc.”
Obama’s words “With or Without Congress” show’s the impasse of Obama and in no way shows the bulwark of Congress’s authority laid deep within the Constitution’s foundation. However if wisdom will yield to ‘unbridled racism’s rabidity enough to deny my own stand for “principle” in the legal documents filed in the order of protecting the Constitution’s natural born citizen qualification from Republicans and Democrats in McCain and Obama’s assault then those coming up through the ranks of Congress have not yielded their own passion to their oaths for the Constitution and might as well stand aside and as the article says “Cheer or Jeer” for Obama as impotent specks of dust.
Now a little housekeeping – I sure need your help right now. My campaign needs computers, printers, phone lines, travel expenses and I certainly can’t do this alone. I need your help and through the PAC ABC Campaign and our ABC Leadership PAC we will be able to receive larger contributions and put them to good use. If you can, please help us in this fight.
Recently I sent a letter to U.S. News Reporter Steve Nelson as a derision towards the Birther Movement has been constantly riddled by the press and I thought it necessary that we set the record straight and there is a lot of information that is very important that still many people do not understand and education and information is a big part of the American Birther Movement or ABC Campaign.
