“I don’t think Obama could get enough states to sign onto the Amendment.”

Well... What about the “golden rule” (”He who has the gold makes the rules”).

With so many states clamoring for fed aid, you don’t think he could get them to do whatever he wants?

I know I’m a pessimist, but I frankly expect changes to our constitution before he’s through. Think “Right to health care” or “Right to employment”, etc...

that would be a really quick way to get secession started and having state repudiate their debts.

He would need 37-38 states. I can’t imagine him getting that many. Regardless of bailout or not. Hell, states are already trying to assert their 10th amendment rights.
