It worked. And somehow, the man who is the alleged expert on the Constitution did not perceive that the mechanism of the bicameral Congress and the three branches of government would impede reckless agendas. It worked.
Mr. Obama seems unable to grasp the fact that, as mentioned in Federalist 45 by James Madison, “[t]he powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.”
The president seems frustrated that he isn’t getting “his” way. In an article in the Washington Times, “President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the 'disadvantage' of having each state represented equally in the Senate.”
Progressives would like nothing more than a giant merger of all (57) states and national popular voting.
Disappointed and finger-pointing once again, Mr. Obama blames our form of government for not allowing his plans to be implemented. Curiously, Mr. Obama does not point to Harry Reid and his antics in the Senate.

Which is exactly why it was set up this way, so that power checks power, passion checks passion, and interest checks interest, "so that it may be a government of laws and not of men."
Obama is a POS.
hopefully come nov repubs will take the senate and maintain the house and then IMPEACH this criminal as well as the AG.
“then IMPEACH this criminal as well as the AG.”
you are most assuredly foisting far to much hope that any testosterone will be present to embark on such a noble endeavor.
That’s an insult to a POS...
You’re absolutely right. “the most efficient government of all would be a dictatorship of one.” - John Adams.
Seem my book at the website in my tagline.
I guess Obama "forgot" that the Founders (who lived under tyranny) constructed our govt to smack down tyranny whenever it raised its ugly head. The Founders' attention to this detail actually worked.
And those who are not aware of this human roadblock continue to criticize “Congress” for “doing nothing.” Thus the propagandists have it both ways: they get to hold up good legislation and then criticize the people who are trying to pass it for not doing anything.
Truly worthy of Lewis Carroll.
This is chilling: Progressives would like nothing more than a giant merger of all (57) states and national popular voting.
Well, why not? Congress is democratized. Why not the Presidency? Let's officially consolidate ALL government in Rome-on-the-Potomac. More democracy to cure the ills of democracy.
And we are told to just keep voting, to remove the tyrant rather than the tyranny.
I see you have visited the GOP checkroom:
