My President

Unbelievable

. . .  is the only word I can think of to describe the turn of events in our country. First of all, let me say that I feel our country is prosperous enough to help those in need, and we have a moral obligation to do so. However, this health care issue represents far more than helping those in need. It is a guise for destroying our country-- a ruse which will include others determining the value of any life, be it advanced in age or unborn.  Having said all of this, my "ubelievable"title is best used to describe this man we have in the President's position. He is unbelievable. To supposedly be a Constitutional scholar, he has certainly missed some key lessons. 

In the past day or so, he has been criticized for his intimidating rhetoric toward the Court, specifically suggesting to the justices that the health care bill. as an act of the legislature, reflected the will of the people. As such, the bill should be scrutinized with care not to offend "the people."  Hmmmmm. I wonder what President Obama would say to the Supreme Court of the United States when they heard the cases of Brown, et al  in the 1950s?  Those cases, among the most important in our history, overturned precedent, ignored "the will of the people" and rightly rejected segregation in public schools based on the intent of the "Reconstruction Amendments." 

"Unbelievable" also applies to the fact that the mainstream press refuses to condemn President Obama for anything, this latest outrage included.  Were President Bush to have said anything of the kind, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, et al would have been demanding the House impeach him! 

I have no idea what the Court will do. All eyes have been incorrectly focused on Justice Kennedy. He, like Justice O'Connor has delighted in positioning himself as a swing vote,  The Press sees him as the key to this latest issue.  I think they're wrong. Since the horrendous Westboro decision, I have lost faith in even those who have held more conservative positions: Thomas, Scalia, and CJ Roberts. They seem to be led by agenda that have little to do with Constitutional principles.

These are truly unbelievable times.
