New Video HAMMERS Obama On Executive Power
RedState.com ^ | 2/13/14 | Caleb Howe

“I taught constitutional law for ten years. I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problems that were facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all, and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.” - Obama, 2008

What a difference six years makes.

The above video, released tonight by The Heritage Foundation, shows two different faces of Barack Obama when it comes to executive branch. In 2008, then-candidate Obama said that America's "biggest problems" had to do with George Bush "trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch."

How many faces does it take to be President? The World may never know. This video compares 2008 Obama's statements with his 2013-14 statements, side by side. Unbelievable.

This needs to be on TV, not on the web. On the web, the only folks that see it are like-minded folks who read the Redstate and similar web sites.

I doubt Huffington Post would link to this.

As Americans, WE are used to patiently, and silently waiting for solutions to problems to come from the top down.

This lazy attitude has been the basis for most Corporate and Political Management structures in America for most of OUR History.

WE now have the ultimate in lazy, top-down, political structure: a rouge dictator whom WE allow to be above OUR Constitutional Law.

WE will continue to have the current Obama Dictatorship as long as the Chief Impeachment Official, ( CIO ), the Speaker of the House, is allowed by US to permit Obama to continue as a OUR Dictator.

In all of Obama’s public statements, he has told the truth to US only twice:
1.) “We are only five days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America.”

and

2.) “I have a pen and a telephone, and I will use them to issue Executive Orders whenever Congress fails to act.”

Obama has thus defined himself to be OUR Dictator, and formally gave US fair warning of his intentions to do so.

For reasons that border on High Treason to the United States of America, Boehner as Speaker of the House, has failed his Constitutional Duty to begin Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

The Members of the US House of Representatives have refused to force Boehner to resign; then to elect a Speaker with the required Sense of Honor to do his/her Constitutional Duty to begin Formal Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

If WE, the taxpayers, do not force the Members of the US House of Representatives to replace Boehner as Speaker with a new Speaker that will issue the necessary Articles of Impeachment on B. Hussein Obama, then WE, the lazy, silent majority taxpayers, deserve to continue to have OUR Liberties crushed by Dictator Obama.

The future of OUR Republic is, as always, in OUR hands.

DONT TREAD ON ME

Leftists don’t have the same concept of truth as normal people. They are capable of holding two contradictory thoughts in their ‘minds’ at the same time.

Is Boehner the problem? Apparently no single member as drafted articles to submit to the Judiciary Committee. Who would be the likely member to do so and why haven’t they?

Exactly. Who is holding our compromised Weeper of the House accountable?

I’ve yet to see any coalition stand up to the failures of 0 or Bonehead. There should be groups calling for the Weeper to either bring up Articles of Impeachment, or to step aside - 24/7.

Where are they??

Speaker Boehner has ABSOLUTE control of ALL appointment to all positions on all committees.

Our sorry RINO House Reps. are scared “silly’ (in deference to the Admin Mod. I chose to use the PC term), of being demoted by Speaker Boehner.

The more Boehner fails at being the Chief Impeachment Official of the US House of representatives, the more ruthless (?) he becomes toward his RINOs and TEA Party Members.

Speaker Boehner alone has the authority to begin Impeachment proceedings.

Yes, Boehner is the problem, THE problem, PERIOD.
