Looking at your freeper profile, I see you're an osteopathic surgeon.

I'm only an osteopathic physician. My skin didn't tolerate all of the scrubbing during medical school's surgery rotations. My winter "eczema" now is a real pain. Regardless, this phony Obama can't go unchallenged.

At Cornell College on Dec. 5, for example, a student asked Mr. Obama how his administration would view the Second Amendment. He replied: "There's a Supreme Court case that's going to be decided fairly soon about what the Second Amendment means. I taught Constitutional Law for 10 years, so I've got my opinion. And my opinion is that the Second Amendment is probably -- it is an individual right and not just a right of the militia. That's what I expect the Supreme Court to rule. I think that's a fair reading of the text of the Constitution. And so I respect the right of lawful gun owners to hunt, fish, protect their families."

So now, if you live in the country, your Second Amendment rights are OK, but not if you live in a city like D.C. So much for this teacher of the U.S. Constitution. Maybe that's what we can call him?

Isn't Self-Defense Common Sense? - Barack Obama's Second Amendment is all about hunting and...(target shooting)

IMHO, I don't think this teacher of the U.S. Constitution can weasel out of these money quotes. Did any one ever see the Second Amendment linked to fishing before this? Maybe it is one of the hazards of demagoguery.

If you believe in a living Constitution that changes from place to place and time to time, vote for this teacher of the U.S. Constitution, Obama.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

I'm only an osteopathic physician.

I just asked my mother - in her late 80's now. I turns out that the doctor who worked on me in the first six months of my life was a Cranial Osteopath, named Dr. Beatrice Blawis, who had studied under the founder of “Osteopathy in the Cranial Field” (OCF), William Garner Sutherland.

My ailment was that the bones in my skull were fused, after a difficult birth (my mother has narrow hips, and I have a large head.) So it was good fortune that a cranial osteopath was just down the country road from us, in the next town. She was "just what the doctor ordered."

As usual in medicine, the key to a successful outcome is picking your ailment. Most specialists tend to treat you for whatever they specialize in. So pick an ailment the remedy for which will actually be of benefit to yourself.

The same probably applies to computer programmers, though I choose not to think much about that one -- it risks hitting too close to home.

Be careful what you ask for; you might get it.
