Obama: "By the way, I believe in the Constitution too."

[Knightskye]

I'm getting ready to go to work, and I was watching a couple minutes of Obama's town hall meeting today. A guy in the audience who said he was a member of the NRA asked a question, and started by saying he believed in the Constitution. And he asked about how Obama was going to pay for healthcare.

And at the end of his answer, Obama said, "By the way, I believe in the Constitution too."

Bulllllllllllllllllllllllshit. :D

[Cowlesy]

Bullshit Obama --- you and your asshole socialist fucking friends have been trying to push through this socialized healthcare since the 1950's and have consistently failed, and you're trying to strike now.

[georgiaboy]

belief isn't enough. try following & upholding it, Mr. President.

It's called an oath for a reason.

I was about to say. How can he not believe in it.... its right there. However believing in following it is another thing.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Anyone considered sending bog rolls with the Constitution imprinted on them to sucky politicians?

On a related note, I wonder why there's a euphemism for a certain activity dubbed a 'constitutional'...

"No shit"

Did the self described 'proud NRA member' say his name when he was called upon by Obama? Later Obama said 'thank you Randy'... but I didn't ever catch his name.

Then later on he reminded the person he called on to introduce himself.

Satan sure as hell believes and knows Jesus is the son of GOD does that make him a Christian?

we need youtube of that.... would blow the cover of the "we didnt hand pick" bullshit

[Bman]

Maybe he can tell us how any actions he's done so far have been constitutional.

[ItsTime]

Maybe hes not even an NRA member, like the doctor. That would be amazing LOL.

YouTube - NRA Member At Obama Town Hall Asks About Raising Taxes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByWS5UY4Lts)

The guy said "Randy Rath--" when the microphone wasn't close enough to him, but you could still hear the "Randy" part. And then he introduces himself. So, there you go.

But, I'm sure there are some hand-picked questions.

ok, now tell us how your really feel. :D

[Stary Hickory]

Obama is like a vampire and the constitution is a cross. I am tempted to present him with a copy of the constitution just to see if his face starts to boil away. Obama has told some big lies, but saying that he believe in the constitution is like such an obvious lie......it's pathetic.

[rajibo]

I laughed when a lady he called on called him a "Constitutional Scholar" and proceeded to read him the preamble to the Montana constitution....:rolleyes:

Just looked it up now. Wow. No wonder people think the government should do so much:


We the people of Montana grateful to God for the quiet beauty of our state, the grandeur of our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains, and desiring to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and to secure the blessings of liberty for this and future generations do ordain and establish this constitution.

"Oh yeah, and liberty too."

Sorry on the introduction/name of Randy, sorry.

I've read about 500 or so pages of HR3200. I've had to read certain parts over and over to fully understand it, but what I got out of it is that if the healthcare panel doesn't see fit that an employeers health plan(s) are adequate to there standards. They will have said employer increase there coverage or the employeer would have an option to role over there plans to the new health care proposal. Employees that don't take the coverage or arn't covered under an employers health plan to begin with will be taxed 2.5% reguardless. 2.5% seems like a tax?


Tell me if I'm wrong since this is a long and complicated bill to read. This is the part im talking about:

18 ‘‘SEC. 59B. TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE
