Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Demands Obama Suspend Constitution to Create Jobs
Yahoo News ^ | 10-18- | Dan McGinnis

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., drew heavy criticism from fellow Democrats and his Republican colleagues for demanding President Barack Obama suspend the U.S. Constitution and declare a national jobs emergency.

Jackson told The Daily Caller last week that the president should use "extra-constitutional" authority to resolve the employment crisis by creating jobs outside of the normal legislative process. His comments drew immediate criticism from his primary opponent as well as other members of the House of Representatives.

Former congresswoman Debbie Halvorson, Jackson's Democratic opponent in next year's primary election, said he has failed to introduce a jobs bill during his 16 years in the House.

“When he speaks we win”

NO, WE DON’T...
The sheeple will NEVER hear this from the mainstream media.
It’s already over a week old.

Reasons like this are why the left HAD to Destroy Glenn Beck on TV. Too many sheeple were tuning in to see the TRUTH, and that can’t be allowed.

“What Constitutional authority? We don’t need no Constitutional authority!”

Heads up, folks! That’s the mentality we’re confronting!

I have been storing up tar and feathers in my garage, but at this rate, we are going to need a lot more of both.

I wonder how Junior’s constituents would feel about this if they realized that suspensing the Constitution would make slavery legal again? Somehow I doubt that Junior could explain that away.

He and his constituents want slavery legal again. They just think they're going to be the massahs.

Shows you how totally delusional they are.

Obama has implied a couple of times he’d like to govern without Congress. The Governor of North Carolina has suggested suspending elections. Articles in various lefty rags agree with these type of ideas.

This is not an isolated thing.

Thankfully we have access to alternate media to get the word out. I think We The People are getting wiser as we string together the clips of Dems suspending th Constitution.

“Thankfully we have access to alternate media to get the word out.”

That’s a delusion I have been hearing, FOR YEARS, and it simply is not true. Obama’s election proves that.

He who controls the media, CONTROLS THE MESSAGE.
We have historical examples of this, over and over again, from 1917 Russia, and 1930’s Germany, to today’s North Korea, and America.

"Suspending the Constitution Repeat the idea often enough so that it becomes familiar and acceptable to the sheeple as normal, even while it remains as unconstitutional as all getout. Then ram it through.

Somebody else was just calling for this. A woman. Not a congresswoman... governor? Former pol? Oh yeah, it was Bev Perdue, from NC, who will be going away soon. But, a coincidence? I have my doubts.

“extra constitutional authority”

They sure have some ingenious ways of embellishing their failure to enforce laws and break laws that they don’t like.
Janet Nappy used the phrase “prosecutorial discretion” in explaining away the administration’s policy of exercising “prosecutorial discretion” in the enforcement of the immigration laws.
The economic brain-trust/masterminds who couldn’t master TurboTax prompts throw things at us like “a “cash for clunkers program,” “too big to fail,” “quantitative easing,” and “jobs programs” to spend us broke, until they reach the point that all they can say is that we simply must print and distribute more money.
And let’s not forget the demented, walking pickled/pre-embalmed Hillary! Clinton: “We came, we saw, we killed him.”

It’s like falling through the Alice’s rabbit hole and finding yourself in Winston Smith’s squalid apartment listening to nonsense from the tele-viewer tube, while trying to keep a straight face because everyone knows Big Bro’ is as nekkid as a `jay-bud’ but no one is supposed to say nuthin’.

That’s true; probably one of the reasons so many on the left are saying this is that they want us to get used to the idea.

I think Barry is trying really hard to create a crisis or at any rate a crisis mentality. Even though unemployment is high and economic indicators are down, however, it’s not the scale of crisis that he needs. He tried to send out the Occupy Wall Street idiots to create the image he wanted (as they tried, also unsuccessfully, to do in several European countries during the summer months) but it hasn’t worked and even liberals are getting turned off by them.

So we shall see what Bill Ayres - oh, excuse me, I meant Barry Soetero - does next.

This is the second time in less than 2 weeks that some Dem has suggested “suspending” the Constitution. A couple of weeks ago, the Dem governor of SC suggested suspending the elections because of the so-called jobs crisis.

That was the Gov. of NC! Bev Perdue.....SC is the state right under NC with Republican Gov. Haley! LOL! Wouldn’t want people to get their Carolina’s mixed up...hahahaha
