President “I am not a dictator” Obama, the same man who once bemoaned that the U.S. Constitution is deeply flawed and America’s Founding Fathers had “an enormous blind spot” when they wrote it, is again complaining that our Constitutional Republic does not satisfy his dictatorial aspirations. Apparently, the inconvenience of having each state represented equally in the Senate is inconveniencing his ability to shove his leftist personal agenda down the throat of Congress and the American people.
As the Washington Times reports:
At a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago Thursday night, Mr. Obama told a small group of wealthy supporters that there are several hurdles to keeping Democrats in control of the Senate and recapturing the House. One of those problems, he said, is the apportionment of two Senate seats to each state regardless of population.
“Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage,” Mr. Obama said.
The Founding Fathers decided in the “Great Compromise” in 1787 to apportion House seats based on population and give each state two seats in the Senate regardless of population. The solution was a compromise between large states and small states in a dispute that nearly dissolved the Constitutional Convention.
The president also blamed “demographics” for the inability of the Democratic Party to gain more power in Congress, saying Democrats “tend to congregate a little more densely” in cities such as New York and Chicago. He said it gives Republicans disproportional clout in Congress.
Thankfully for us and for America, our Founding Fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they drafted the Constitution and set up specific checks and balances to divest power away from any one individual or branch of government.

“Yes and he was glad the it got it right. :-)”
Yes, I hope those awkward pregnant pauses live forever on YouTube...”We’re having some problems here...”.
Imagine what kind of self-esteem Obama must have when he simply rattles off speeches written by white people...
And liberal white kids!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Bump
what balance of power?
And they are changing it, slowly but surely:
"All persons born...in the United States"
is changed to include the droppings of newly arrived illegal invaders bent on securing US government handouts and diluting our votes (and, at least in the case of one group, with the urging of their government).
"The right to bear arms shall not be infringed"
means unless the government passes laws denying the right.
"Natural born citizen", a phrase specifically used only to describe the qualifications of our nation's highest military commander
now simply means anyone who, perhaps with foreign government urging, made it across the border before they were born, or anyone born anywhere in the world to a single citizen parent.
There are several more, but you get the point.
Our ancestors are crying.
How I loathe that b@stard. 897 days to go! Will America survive? Some days, I’m not so sure... :(
If America “had a dream” to live prosperous and free,
Then the dream must killed, and consumed you see.
The Obamavultures continue feasting, while Boehner sits still,
“Both” parties know our pain as required collateral damage to fulfill.
What word did our Doormat Republicans not understand,
When Obama was first crowned The Tyrant of the Land?
Was it “Fundamentally” or “Transform” or “The United States of America?”
Why are these confused Leader Doormat Republicans still kept in power?
Why haven’t our TEA Party House Members sent Boehner to the back bench?
What does it take be it Benghazi, NSA, IRS, DOJ, or Delay to Death of our Vets?
Who are the Patriot House Members of “both” Parties to vote out Boehner?
When do We, the People rise up and declare that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!?
When do our elected House Members stand and deliver?
When does the well-deserved Impeachment of Obama begin?
When do our House Constitutional Checks and Balances kick in?
Back in DC, things are as calm as can be,
Obama lies, frames, blames, denies and delays,
Allowing the Obamavultures to feast as before,
While Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, and Issa,
Hold open the race to the bottom door - - - -.
It is time, - - - - time a change in 2014.
