Walter Williams: Obama vs. Us
Creators Syndicate ^ | November 19, 2014 | Walter E. Williams

Posted on 11/17/2014 9:40:56 AM PST by jazusamo

Suppose you saw a person driving his car on the wrong side of a highway, against the traffic. Would you call him a stupid and/or incompetent driver? You say, "Williams, what kind of question is that? Of course he's one or the other!" I'd say, "Hold your horses. What are his intentions?" If the driver's intentions are to cause highway calamity, one can hardly call his actions stupid or incompetent. Given his intentions, he is wisely acting in a manner to achieve his objectives.

This observation lies at the heart of my colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell's column last week, in which he says, "Pundits who depict Obama as a weak, lame duck president may be greatly misjudging him, as they have so often in the past." After suffering an elective trouncing at the polls, President Barack Obama issued Congress an ultimatum, saying that if it doesn't enact the kind of immigration law that he would like, he will unilaterally issue an executive order to change the nation's immigration laws. This threat, along with other abuses of his office, is not a sign of presidential stupidity or incompetence.

Obama is doing precisely what he promised during his 2008 presidential campaign, to cheering and mesmerized crowds: "We are going to fundamentally change America" and "We will change America. We will change the world." Obama is living up to those pledges by subverting our Constitution and adopting the political style of a banana republic dictator. He showed his willingness to ignore the Constitution when he eliminated the work requirement in welfare reform laws enacted during the Clinton administration. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, was enacted by Congress and hence is the law of the land. Obama has used executive orders to change the law on several occasions...

"Obama is living up to those pledges by subverting our Constitution and adopting the political style of a banana republic dictator".

I though that sentence was well put.

Obama hates America! He is a three time bastard and taught by all of his guardians that America is evil and unfair: He is bitter that his whorish mother spread her legs for every black man and communist she ran into, that he is a half breed abandoned by his father who dreamed of screwing white women and abandoning his children, he is bitter that after being adopted by a Muslim he was rejected. He is bitter that his grandmother was a “typical white woman”. His bitterness was amplified by Frank Marshal Davis, Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. The man never wanted to make the US better, he wanted to get even.

Dr. Williams makes a good point here, and one that I have not heard elsewhere. Specifically, he says that Congress is also ignoring the constitution, and that the courts have been derelict in their constitutionally-mandated duty to hold the other two branches to account if they don’t abide by the constitution.

In my view your observation is succinct and spot on.

Totally agree, our intended checks and balances have eroded.

Our children are being taught like wise. Acceptance of the current educational program (COMMON CORE) is eliminating the History of America.
Brainwashing.
A disaster.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on America, we know not what we do. God bless America, may we return to our former faith and values, in Jesus name, amen.

Obama needs a shrink - not incredible power. He is one screwed up and dangerous guy.

As I have said many times, "Even a complete moron gets something right every now and then, just by accident." In my observation, Obama ALWAYS makes decisions that are the polar opposite of the best interest of our country. His intentions are clearly evil.

When all three branches of government fail to uphold
the constitution, it falls to the people directly to
do what needs to be done to restore it, as our
founders intended.

Yes - and since Congress, the Courts and the Executive all take an oath to “preserve and uphold the Constitution” the leaders of all three branches should be brought up on charges by “we the people” for failing to honor their oaths and endangering the liberties and fortunes of the people. The President, and VP and the Chief Justice and the Speaker and the Senate Leader and their key lieutenants should all be tried and convicted. There must be a penalty for killing the country.
