#1 It's a feature, not a bug...

#3 Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest Constitutional Scholar since John Adams.

#4 He completely understands the balance of power. He knows its there for a reason. Yet his narcissism gets the best of him in public. He needs to remember he did not win by a landslide. A large portion of Americans do not agree with his communist/socialist agenda. Our constitution was written explicitly so a narcissist like him hound not hijack the greatest nation on earth with an agenda that half of our country does not agree with. I would say, and I'm not expert, that our constitution was designed to work like this and is doing a great job of halting what Obama calls progress.

#5 Just him saying this out loud shows the tyrant heart beating in his breast.

#6 Oddlt enough, Rate My Professor has no listing for him. But I've read that his students did not receive the teaching they needed toward the bar exam.

#7 Darth, AMEN !!!!

Obama is the most blatant dictator wannabe I've ever seen, and I go back to Truman (though I don't remember him).

He is a despicable troll with an evil streak that is only surpassed, thank God, by his incompetent streak.

#8 Meh, he's a weak twerp with a good baritone speaking voice. He's a new oddity, a creature of magic thinking the interwebs brought us. There will be more but not so obvious one hopes.

#9 Politicians like you, Obummer, are what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote it.

God, wotta tool.

#10 Impeachment is also a feature the founding fathers wanted to provide as well.

#11 The Constitutional provision of which Champ complains reflects something that the Founding Fathers were very good at and Champ is completely useless at: forging a compromise on a hotly disputed issue to promote the national interest. It's the difference between serious patriots on the one hand and an empty suit on the other.

#12 Came the call: Vivisect constitutions
Scrawled out by dead white Lilliputians!
ValJar Jar beats law law
As macaws tweet histoire
To a Gulliver enmeshed in delusions.

#13 Hey Dickhead (yeah you Obama), that's why its a rePUBLIC not a democracy. Rights belong to the individual, not the mob.

#14 Mean olde Mr. Arithmetic will win in the end. This country has $17x10^12 in debt, assets are a fraction of that, and future unfunded obligations are not even discussed. We are bankrupt, and the piper will be coming to town.

In the words of an old Alaskan I knew, not an elegant statement, but it hits the mark:

Watching the President and the Congress govern is like watching a bunch of monkeys f**king a football.

#15 Unfortunately AP - I think we are the football...

#16 The sports metaphor is appropriate. I'll not comment on it's zoological partner.

#17 A prof who insisted it wouldn't be missed
Fell in with a strict Constitutionalist:
"This old tatter," he sneered,
"Must be nipped, tucked, and queered."
"Well, pilgrim, I hope you're a pugilist!"
