At press conference that took place on Tuesday, President Obama made his intentions for America painfully obvious. He referred to the Constitution as a “work in progress” that can “evolve for the good of all Americans”.
He made the claim that he was only trying to inspire. That actually explains a lot. According to our president, his job is “evolve” our Constitution to meet his needs. There’s no need for rule of law when you can turn it into some piece of paper that makes people feel good.
And there is his socialist manifesto. If that was truly what was intended for the constitution, then why did Thomas Jefferson say this in 1803? “Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction.”
Doesn’t this seem like it’s exactly what President Obama is trying to do? He’s trying to make our Constitution nothing more than a blank piece of paper that he’s free to write on what he will.
Never has any American president shown such disregard for America’s most precious document.

I like to call it a restraining order for criminals in DC that try to infringe my libertys
This is all way to funny..
He’s right, even if I disagree with the direction he wants to go. The Constitution has been amended 27 times, and the tendency has been to give the people more power and more freedom rather than less. (The notable exceptions are the federal income tax and Prohibition, the latter of which was repealed. Even the 27th, concerning Congressional salaries, takes a small amount of power away from any given Congress.) America has changed, too, becoming more inclusive. These two changes work together when the topic is equality under the law. They work in opposite directions when we’re discussing individual choices about other people.
People are saying Ted Cruz’s Canadian birth is not an issue because his mother was American. True she is American born but she gave up her US citizenship and became a citizen of Canada when Ted was born. Thereby making him not eligible to be POTUS. Why isn’t anybody picking this up as much as they harrassed President Obama.
Corey Smith What 2 elections did he steal?
Yeah! it’s a joke! It’s not a funny joke, but it is indeed a joke!!
Really? I seem to recall watching C-Span early in January 2013 when Congress opened the votes of the Electoral College and declared President Obama the winner. You mean to tell me that that didn’t actually happen?
It’s actually been changed 27 times since it was first ratified in 1789.
So then you oppose constitutional amendments for a Balanced Budget, Congressional Term Limits, Right to Life, and other things? And you do know that the Constitution has already been changed 27 times — none of them by President Obama, right?
Yes, I predict he’ll be out of office in about 13 months.
