How many amendments do you think Obama can get inserted before the end of his term in office? I say none at all but then I don't want the amendments to be done in any way other than what the Constitution calls for.

Do you know what it takes to amend that revered document? How soon can it be done?

I know!

A Performance Based Constitution!

No requirements!

As far as you understanding you know what they say about birds of a feather sticking together.
Birds of a feather have been sticking together pretty tight in this thread but not one of them has mentioned what part of the opening post was either a lie or anything like that. Just progressive type howling and name calling is all I have seen here. BTW, progressives are just like ducks, if they walk like, talk like, and all that they must be pure progressives and here they have really enjoyed their walklike and talklike crap without mentioning all the lies in the opening post.

Can't handle the heat? Stay out of the kitchen.

The OP would do better posting on stormfront. He'd get lots of pats on the back and ataboys.
Kind of like the pats on the back and ataboys you progs are spreading around here? Yep, that seems to be it.

You're more of a Constitutional scholar than I am so correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the amendments to the constitution in existence because someone some where along the line thought it needed improving? Not liking something in the constitution is not in itself an evil act. The founding fathers gave us a way to make changes. Other than stopping parts of Bush's Patriot Act from expiring what exactly has Obama done to 'skirt' around the Constitution?

In a word, yes. It's called free speech. Don't hold your breath waiting for those changes. The founding fathers although they made it possible to make changes, those changes only come from jumping through a lot of hoops that no president alone can do on his own.

I can be fairly certain that if you run with leftist radicals and seek out Marxist professors while under the tutelage of your commie mentor that your view of the Constitution of the United States is skewed and distorted

ESR | February 1, 2010 | State of the Union: Obama v. Constitution

"In his younger days, Obama was not concerned about such associations: "I chose my friends carefully," he wrote. "The more politically active black students; the foreign students; the Chicanos; the Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets."

But when he announced his aspirations to become a U.S. senator in 2004, Obama began to cover his tracks. He stopped associating publicly with Leftist colleagues and mentors such as Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Khalid al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi, Bob Creamer and others."
Now it is time for the progs to attack you again without saying word one about the things you have pointed out that are all relevant and true.

Got any court records to back up those claims? Any eyewitness accounts?
I think that the OP provided much of what you want to see and all of it has been from the Obama books that progs accept as the only truth in the history of Obama. I haven't read either book but the parts that progs have insisted I read have said the very things that he has said. What more can you want than his own words?
