Here, in outline form, is why the pronouncements from President Barack Obama, warning the Supreme Court to not overturn Obamacare are so chilling:
1. The President supposedly went to Harvard Law School, graduated from same, was Law Review President of the Harvard Law Review at Harvard Law School. Then he supposedly taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Those are powerful law schools. Yet he obviously knows little of how the Constitution works if he thinks it would be rare or startling for the Supreme Court to overrule a law passed by Congress.
Judging whether or not a law is constitutional is precisely, exactly what the Supreme Court does. Passing on the constitutional muster of laws is their job. They do it often with federal laws and with state laws. The Supreme Court overruling legislatures is a commonplace.
If President Obama does not know this, it's a mark against Harvard and against the University of Chicago. Mostly, it is a serious mark against President Obama.
2. If he does not know how the government works under the Constitution, he should not be President.
3. If he does not know how the Constitution works even in its broadest strokes, what else does he not know?
He apparently thinks that it's his job to leave Western Europeans and Americans stripped of missile defense. He apparently thinks it's his job to unilaterally disarm America. That shows a yawning chasm in what he knows and what he does not know.
Another subject Mr. Obama thinks he knows about and doesn't is the oil companies. He hates them. He thinks they are subsidized by the workers in the cotton fields and then they exploit those workers. That is nonsense. Every business, every household, gets some deductions or credits for something. That's the way the...

Yep, he knows the Constitution the same way a safecracker knows a safe.
With his finger on the button, in command of all u.S. Armed Forces and with a brand new E.O. that gives him full control of every aspect of the nation "in peacetime and in times of national emergency" as well as removes the Sec. Def. from the decision making in that process.
Yeah, liberals, huh?
UN-fracking-believeable...

Re post 13, we can only hope.
He’s one of those people that knows enough to be dangerous.
Total phony
“Obama’s behavior and rhetoric are becoming increasingly erratic and downright unstable.”
Nah. It only seems that way because he is such a genius.

The odds of 0bama being turned into a crispy critter by a random lightning bolt are better than my odds were at winning the recent Mega Millions lotto draw, so I am remaining optimistic about all this, since I didn’t win.
Obama not only knows nothing, he doesn’t even suspect anything.
He doesn’ know how to tell the truth or how to be anything but arrogant and egotistical.
He doesn’t know $hit from $hinola.
He know nothing about anything required to be a President...He spent most of his political life agitating the welfare queens of Chicago...Without any doubt he is by far the most incompetent President in the history of the Republic.
Ben Stein say the man child pantload is “upbeat and likeable most of the time...” C’mon.
His posterior from a hole in the ground!
He doesn’t know anything about American values and traditions!
He doesn’t know anything about American values and traditions!
