'If youre the president, member of congress, govt. agent, etc, the only reason why anyone should listen to what you say, is because you exercise power via the Constitution'.
'If the Constitution doesnt count, you dont have any legitimate power, and should be (forcibly) removed for trying to exercise power you dont possess'.
It seems to me that the FedGov is picking and choosing which laws to respect and enforce, thereby setting the example for all of us.
During the first Obama presidential campaign, in August, 2008, Bill Clinton was asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be president. Clinton knew what was meant by the question but instead of commenting about Obama's character, experience, knowledge of foreign and domestic policy, and leadership abilities, etc., he offered this rather cryptic reply:
"The constitution sets qualification for the president. And then the people decide who they think would be the better president."
"The constitution sets qualification for the president."? That's his answer? Bill Clinton made this reference to the Constitution shortly after America's latest fad, the "community organizer" from Chicago, popped up out of nowhere only to steal his wife's destiny by winning, in rather sleazy fashion (including the shameless playing of "the race card"), the Democrat party's nomination for President.
It has been my opinion since that time that the Clintons know something, and that it was they who quite deliberately fanned the flames of controversy over Obama's birth. Remember, it was Philadelphia lawyer Philip Berg, a prominent campaign-fund bundler for Hillary Clinton, who launched *the first* Obama eligibility lawsuit. That lawsuit was filed in August of 2008, shortly after Bill Clinton made his curious reference to the Constitution when asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be President. Coincidental timing? Sure it was.
No, the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms never vetted Obama. Why would they? Everything anybody wanted to know about Obama they could read in his two autobiographies, so... what's to vet? Despite the forged documents, the white-washed personal history, and even old campaign literature that claimed Obama was born in Kenya, the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms are happy to simply take the word of their African communist president - - on everything.
