They have been educated by the fine indoctrinators of the public school system for about 40 years now, and two or three generations have lost the ability to think.

Not only that the libs have undereducated those in public schools so they would have stupid, lock step masses to vote for them including the illegals. Such a high class bunch those lib/communists.

He took civics when he was in school in Indonesia and doesn’t realize the US version is different.

For a man whose curriculum vitae includes lecturing on constitutional law at the University of Chicago, the president seems to be a little in the dark about both the Constitution and the law.

I don't know why people assume that Obama studied our Constitution so that he would understand it, honor it, and apply it. I am positive that he studied The U.S. Constitution so that he would know how to ignore what he wanted, find loopholes, and change it.

Why anyone would think that this man, raised by Communist grandparents, mentored for years by a known Communist, and whose "friends" throughout life only include those of Communist/Marxist persuasions would suddenly want to embrace and/or apply the mandates of our Constitution is beyond me. His knowledge was gained only so he could find ways to (1) go around the law, and (2) use the law against our country...a tactic employed by those who are out to destroy unity and divide our people. We have seen Obama apply the "divide and conquer" theme since his first day in our White House.

I am certain that when he had to take the Oath of Office,a second time, after purposely flubbing the first swearing-in ceremony, that "to uphold The Constitution" was not his intent, if he even spoke those words at all. No one knows what he "swore" to, since the second oath was administered in private, sans a Bible or even a Koran, for that matter.

Obama has lived by the expression "know your enemies," in his quest to learn our laws and our history...which is why he cares little about knowing the truth. He has considered the U.S. an enemy since his mother dragged him around the world and taught him only the evils of America, not the greatness, heart, and soul of our country. He never developed a true love of the U.S.(which has given him and his ungrateful wife so much), it has always been foreign to him no matter where he grew up, and he has focused on our faults more than our strengths. Just like those who criticize our country, Obama has shown that he really holds a great disdain for us, our laws, and our accomplishments. As a student he only learned just enough to try and accomplish his goal (which is why he was a poor student, obviously) that has always been to launch an attack on the American system of government and the principles upon which our Nation was based.

I suspect that he *did* take Civics in school. The operative question would be, where? Indonesia comes to mind...

He isn’t ignorant of the law, he just hopes everyone else is.

“that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example….”

This is his longer version of “I won.”

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_month_by_month

“In March, 26% of voters Strongly Approved of the president’s job performance, showing no change since February but up two points from January. The number who Strongly Disapproved of the job Obama is doing was at 41% in March, up two points from last month.”

He’s tanking and he knows it.

just remember that he gave up his license to practice law so he would not be disbarred and you can see that this supposed Constitutional lawyer may be so in his words, but not in any stretch of the truth. Seems he has run amok of the law in the past, so it gives his credentials little legitimacy to say the least.
