Say do y'all mind if I become the "Scotch Tape Czar" ?

Someone needs to monitor the scotch tape in the US and make sure everyone gets their fair and equal share of scotch tape dispensers.

Now..I want an office, a nice salary, a staff, benefits and a pension. That's all.

I'll have press releases and announcements like:

"The office of the STC (Scotch Tape Czar) has fined Wallymart and Monsanto $18 billion dollars for hoarding cases of scotch tape in their office supply cabinets in an effort to bring scotch tape availability to every American and not just the select few."

Congress seems content to let all these Czars be named to watch over industries and payouts.
Where's Pelosi yelling that it's Congress' job to make sure the laws are carried out ?

I thnik Obama is much like those in business who appopint assistance to deal with certain problems. What they like is the insulkation from actually seemign to be respeonsible themselves. Its easy to fire themn and say ;well I took care oif that problem with that assitant. I have always thought it was the no responsible way of doing things really. No one really believes they actually make imposrtnat decisions without the bosss knowing.Persoanolly 'I think too many assitanbts is the sign of a poor manager.

I have wondered about this many times. If he knows the constitution, he doesn't care to abide by it. I still wonder if he is even qualified by the rules of the constitution to be our president. Nobody has proved it to me yet.

Though I already knew the Democrats/Congress was going to jump on him (Obama), I didn't know they would start jumping so soon.

I gave Obama 18 months before the Democrats/Congress would begin to shut him down ... and here I see the beginning of his Lame Duck status starting after only 6 months in office ..

Sort of makes you feel changey-feeley all over, doesn't it?

I'm amazed.

Yes

But the more you know the law, the more you can twist it to your advantage ...

Christians do the very same kinds of things with the Bible

Democrats know no limits to big government. I am astounded by the sheer force of ignorance that put this guy in elected office.
Amen to that.
I'm thinking Obama doesn't believe he needs Congress.

I don't think Obama is doing anything unconstitutional. If you want to discuss Obama's eligibility, go find a "birther" thread. Please.
