Obama "I am constrained by a system that our founders put in place"

Well aww shucks Mr. President I am so sorry about that. Thankfully our founding fathers were super smart and wanted curtail a administration like yours.

"ginned up fears among responsible gun owners that have nothing to do with what’s being proposed and nothing to do with the facts, but feeds into this suspicion about government,” said Obama.
“You hear some of these quotes: “I need a gun to protect myself from the government.”

Oh you mean we are afraid that you and your administration might take to much, might want to have to much control, like maybe the NDAA that you signed into existence? The indefinite detention if you are labeled a Terrorist. With no right to habeas corpus.

Yeah sorry about those checks and balances.

Also Yeah sorry you and your administration are not "of and by and for" me, I did not vote for you, and I did not want you. K thanks

I will climb down off my soap box now.

CORRECT ON ALL ACCOUNTS!

Obama wants to be DICTATOR, not President... but he definitely is the FIRST half of the former. :roll:

You've already told us, Mr. POTUS, that you intend to take our income and accumulated wealth away from us (this for the stated purpose of the "greater good" by helping the less fortunate). You've already TAKEN our autonomy and freedom of choice on health care away from us (this for the stated purpose of the "greater good" by helping the less fortunate and minimizing the cost of giving free health care to those who won't work for it; thereby "making us safer" FROM OURSELVES). And you've already demonstrated that at least under some circumstances, you're perfectly willing to dispatch a government drone to KILL us; thereby taking our very LIVES away from us (this for the stated purpose of the "greater good" by making us safer by killing some of us who are deemed by unspecified and unmonitored bureaucrats to be a "threat").

So YEAH; you're damned right we don't trust you and we think you'll take our guns away from us just as soon as you or some of your nameless faceless bureaucrats can think of a (barely) plausible excuse.

My plan:

1) Participate in government no matter how ineffectual I feel.

2) Prep for the worst, hope for the best.

3) Protect me and mine, help my friends, keep a weary eye on what the scaly ones in government are doing, and try to trust in my God and my Skills to keep me and mine safe.

4) Put my headphones back on and listen to music I love.

One of my all time favorite songs: Covenant - Bullet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZihNTlw_05w

"time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you

time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you

we are the only ones right now that are celebrating
and we are joining hands right now
we are the only ones right now that are suffocating
we are the dying ones right now

as the water grinds the stone
we rise and fall
as our ashes turn to dust
we shine like stars "

Constrained? *coughrecess appointmentscough*

Right there with ya, but my headphones have either talk or ham radio, or a select few podcasts issuing from them most of the time. :)

No, he thinks they got it wrong because it constrains him. WE think they got it right; and for the same reason.

Of course, the problem is that Obama quite obviously doesn't intend to BE constrained; even by the Bill of Rights. He just wants to use the BOR to lull us into complacency. The odds that Obama won't ignore the Bill of Rights are about the same as that a dog won't piss on a fire hydrant.

He's lucky Biden is his VP. Too bad the system doesn't restrain him enough!

Let's start an online petition for his and biden's impeachment! :enlighten:

Oh please Lord, I hope they get this bill passed. So that this president cannot just make new laws...

Oh man I am going to pray it goes through.

Oh boy... Hank Johnson pulled the race card. I wonder what his take on North Korea nuking Guam is... Will he be pissed if Lil Kim capsizes Guam?? I know Johnson was very worried that an increase in Naval activity would do it.

Hope that can pass, but I suspect the senate would just love to stop it. Reid may even keep i in his desk drawer along with all those House budgets that have passed over the years.

Is it just me, or does our currently federal government treat the "Bill of Rights" like the "Bill of Privileges That Can Be Revoked At Any Time For Any Reason"?

What I find amazing is that he is saying the the government is constrained by our constitution and these fears are ginned up... Tell that to the people in RI, Mass, Conn, MD, Co, NY, NJ, and all the other states that are trying to execute the very orders we as free people fear. Seems that even at the state level, the elected politicians really don't care about the constraints laid out in the Constitution.
