• Used Executive Privilege in regards to Fast & Furious gun running scandal. When Government misconduct is the concern Executive privilege is negated.

• Obama took Chairmanship of UN Security Council – Violation of Section 9.
• Obamacare (ACA) mandate – SCOTUS had to make it a tax because there is no Constitutional authority for Congress to force Americans to engage in commerce.
• Contraceptive, abortifacients mandate violation of First Ammendment
• Healthcare waivers – No president has dispensing powers
• Refuses to acknowledge state’s 10th Amendment rights to nullify Obamacare
• Going after states (AZ lawsuit) for upholding Federal law (immigration) -10th Amendment.
• Chrysler Bailout -TARP - violated creditors rights and bankruptcy law, as well as Takings and Due Process Clauses – 5th Amendment (G.W. Bush also illegally used TARP funds for bailouts)
• The Independent Payment Advisory Board (appointees by the president). Any decisions by IPAB will instantly become law starting in 2014 – Separation of Powers, Article 1 Section 1.
• Congress did not approve Obama’s war in Libya. Article I, Section 8, First illegal war U.S. has engaged in. Impeachable under Article II, Section 4.
• Obama falsely claims UN can usurp Congressional war powers.
• Obama has acted outside the constitutional power given him – this in itself is unconstitutional.
• With the approval of Obama, the NSA and the FBI are tapping directly into the servers of 9 internet companies to gain access to emails, video/audio, photos, documents, etc. This program is code named PRISM. NSA also collecting data on all phone calls in U.S. – Violation of 4th Amendment.
• Plans to sign U.N. Firearms treaty – 2nd Amendment.
• The Senate/Obama immigration bill (approved by both) raises revenue – Section 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives;
• Obama refuses to uphold the Business Mandate Law (ACA) for a year. President does not have that authority – Article. I. Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States. The president ”shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed” -Article II, Section 3.
• A Constitutional law professor (even their students) should know better. The TRUTH is Obama was a speaker not a law professor, and clearly he has not respected or protected the Constitution. Obama has broken his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Article II, Section 1

Pretty awesome vid that explains in simple terms all the benefits available to Americans thanks to President Obama's Affordable Care Act.

Sure, the launch has been fvcked up, what government program isn't? But over time they'll work out the bugs and improve the program.

I predict the ACA will be a smashing success!

BTW, are you aware that the Healthcare.gov site is not the only way to obtain coverage under the ACA?

Mika Brzezinski Calls Obamacare (Live on Air) and Gets Through in Just 75 Seconds




In just 75 seconds, Mika Brzezinski, live on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, was able to dispel conservative anti-Obamacare lies and connect with an Obamacare agent — live on national television.
Although website glitches have marred the roll-out of Obamacare’s online exchanges, President Obama is encouraging Americans to call the hotline to sign-up, but some critics say that isn’t working either.
“By the way, we called the hotline on Monday and the automated menu redirected us to Healthcare.gov, which in turn told us to get in touch with someone at the call center,” the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page wrote on Tuesday. “In an era where Google is making self-driving cars and Amazon offers next-day delivery for just about anything, the White House plunged ahead with a system it knew to be defective and is relying on the technology of the 19th century as the fall-back.”
“I got an agent! Hi there,” Brzezinski exclaimed.
“Did they refer you to healthcare.gov?” MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow asked.
“No, I got a live agent,” she said. “Alright, so by the way, unlike the Wall Street Journal, if you want to get through call 1-800-318-2596.”
Of course, Joe Scarborough, always toeing the Republican Party line, nervously scratched his neck and tried to change the subject with a joke about Chris Christie, which fell incredible flat given Mika’s quick and easy success in getting an Obamacare representative on the line.
She started the call at the 1:26 mark and ended it at the 2:40 mark, less than 75 seconds to get an Obamacare representative who will enroll you in Obamacare. If you can’t use www.healthcare.gov just yet, simply call in!
Please watch the very telling video below and share this article on social media forums so that every American will know about the option of getting affordable access to quality insurance with just a quick phone call to 1-800-318-2596.

All bullshit aside, Obama Has Presided Over 5 of 6 Largest Deficits in U.S. History.

“Even when adjusted for inflation, the $680.276 billion fiscal 2013 deficit is only exceeded by one pre-Obama deficit–the one the U.S. government ran in 1943, during the height of World War II.”

Why are some people still in denial about this?

Happy Halloween from the Obama White House

You don't dump your VP when you run for re-election. It's happened in the past but just isn't done today. Not that it would have made much difference since "Repeal and Replace" Romney was toast either way

“I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” - Barack Obama, 2009

So, Obama must be delighted to learn that he’s been bumped to the number two slot on Forbes’ “World’s Most Powerful People” list behind Vlad the Putinator.

“You’ve been dismissed, little man from America. Now go.”

Imagine, being bitched-slapped repeatedly by an ex KGB Thug? Must be humiliating...

Is 'Dreams of my Father' worth reading?

What has Obama accomplishment- he's the first top selling author to subsequently become President. Just imagine how well his memoirs are gonna sell.

Barry didn't write that book - was written by his pal from the Weather Underground. You remember? The one who bragged that he was guilty as hell but free as a bird.

Students say President Obama’s handling of scandals and Obamacare rollout 'deceitful,' 'incompetent'

Ya think?



Barry has some problems...

Happy to see that President Obama is making progress in restoring balance to our nations courts-

Obama tilts federal judiciary back toward Democrats

Nation's appeals and district courts, long dominated by Republican appointees, are evenly split as the GOP seeks to slow or block Obama's agenda.

Richard Wolf, 12:12 p.m. EDT November 1, 2013


WASHINGTON — The federal judiciary — long the province and priority of Republicans — is turning more Democratic.
The number of full-time federal judges named by Democratic presidents will draw even Friday with the number named by Republicans, following two retirements. The next of President Obama's nominees to replace a Republican-named judge will tilt the balance in Democrats' favor; that majority will grow for the remainder of his term.
The trend is particularly noteworthy at the nation's 13 appeals courts, 10 of which had a majority of Republican appointees by the end of George W. Bush's presidency. Although the Supreme Court remains 5-4 in Republicans' favor, judges named by Democratic presidents now dominate seven appeals courts, and two more are split down the middle.
"It is an important milestone," says Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House counsel. "It is a good indicator that the president is making his mark on the courts."
The federal courts — particularly the appeals courts — often set precedents in areas ranging from national security and economic regulation to abortion, immigration, voting rights, affirmative action, gun control and gay marriage.
"The impact that the president can have on the federal judiciary is perhaps the single-most important legacy issue for any president," says Doug Kendall, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, a liberal advocacy group.
Both parties have fought wars over judicial nominees since 1987, when Democrats blocked Ronald Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. The arch-conservative Bork was replaced by the more moderate Anthony Kennedy, now the GOP appointee who most often sides with liberals.
So fierce is the battle for judicial control that, on Thursday, Senate Republicans blocked confirmation of Obama's top choice to fill a vacancy on the federal appeals court for the District of Columbia Circuit. That is the nation's second most powerful court, with vast jurisdiction over federal agencies and regulations.
The court has eight active judges, split among Democratic and Republican appointees, and three vacancies. There are six "senior" judges who usually serve part-time — five of them appointed by Republican presidents.
Obama, who had one nominee for that court blocked by Senate Republicans before winning confirmation of Sri Srinivasan in May, introduced three more nominees in June. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to confirm them, but Senate Republicans maintain the court doesn't need any more judges. On Thursday, they blocked action on Patricia Millett, 50, who has argued the second most cases before the Supreme Court among all female litigants.
"The reason they want to put more judges on the D.C. Circuit is not because it needs them," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said. He quoted an administration ally who had acknowledged that "the president's best hope for advancing his agenda is through executive action, and that runs through the D.C. Circuit."
Liberal activists have another explanation for GOP obstruction. "It's the farm team," says Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, of the court's historic role as stepping-stone to the Supreme Court. "Republicans have always fought holy wars over filling those seats."
Despite that setback, Democrats' steady progress on other appeals and district courts has not been denied. It's been a long time coming; Obama, preoccupied by two Supreme Court nominations in his first two years, got a slow start on filling lower court vacancies. Senate Republicans have been even slower to confirm his nominees.
Lining the federal bench with judges who enjoy lifetime tenure is one of the most significant perks of the presidency. Two-term presidents generally appoint nearly 40% of the 874 federal judges. George W. Bush's preference for ideological conservatives remade the judiciary in his image. Obama, with 208 confirmed judges so far, has preferred moderates.
Even as Democrats are poised to pull ahead, however, Republican nominees will maintain an outsize influence because of the number of judges over 65 who take senior status and continue to decide cases. While the number of active judges are tied at 390, there are 322 senior judges nominated by Republican presidents — more than half named by Reagan — compared with 233 Democrats.
For years, the problem for Democrats has been Republicans' dominance in presidential politics. GOP presidents have held the White House for 20 of the past 33 years and 28 of the past 45, dating to the Nixon administration.
"Their policy preferences should not be what's driving their decisions," says Carrie Severino, chief counsel for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network. "Unfortunately, we have a very politicized approach to the judiciary at this point, and that's detrimental."
Nationally, a few appeals court nominees have been blocked on both sides, and the pace of Senate confirmations has slowed with each new administration. About 10% of the nation's 179 appeals court and 677 district court judgeships remain vacant, a level not seen for two decades, according to the liberal Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.
While squabbling with Senate Republicans over those delays, Obama has been able to remake the judiciary in another way. Forty-two percent of his confirmed judges are women and 37% are minorities, far greater proportions than those of his predecessors.
That's of lesser concern to conservative groups than Democrats' emerging majority, one that can only grow through 2016. If the next president is a Democrat — say, Hillary Rodham Clinton — the impact would be huge.
"At that point," says Curt Levey, president of the conservative Committee for Justice, "there would be very few Republicans left on the courts."

Well, it's finally come to this:

Jimmy Carter Slams Obama’s Ineptitude.

“It may be that Jimmy Carter has a right to sit in judgment of Barack Obama. Which is among the worst things that could be said about America’s 44th president.”

Who needs luck, when ya got dubya? Hillary, Ted Kennedy, Obama, Kerry, Ted Nugent, whoever had got the Democrat nomination would be President now. Well, except Ted.

Heard the latest? Obama has been bragging to his aids that he's really good at killing people:

"[T]he book lacks the made-for-Hollywood scenes of “Game Change”: Elizabeth Edwards ripping off her shirt to reveal her mastectomy scars in an emotional tarmac confrontation with her cheating husband, or anything Palin-related. But there’s still click-bait aplenty: Obama meditating on drone strikes and telling his aides that he’s “really good at killing people”; Christie’s raging temper; Romney adviser Stuart Stevens vomiting backstage after Clint Eastwood’s performance art in Tampa; Romney’s fascination with fat people, including his habit of ribbing male campaign staffers about dating overweight women; George W. Bush calling Rick Perry, his gubernatorial successor in Texas, “a chicken-[expletive] guy”; Obama’s team secretly polling and focus-grouping the notion of replacing Joe Biden with Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Democratic ticket; and so on. It’s a book that will launch a thousand listicles."
