Re: Barry's constrained by our founders

The full quote:
“Well, the government is us. These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you. I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place. It’s a government of and by and for the people.”
What's the problem?

So what is the problem? The Constitution puts puts constraints on the executive, judicial, and legislative offices. Upset because he is stating to obvious?

From this particular quote?

It sounds to me that he's asking for people to call congress on the issue:
“You hear some of these quotes: ‘I need a gun to protect myself from the government.’ ‘We can’t do background checks because the government is going to come take my guns away,’ Obama said. “Well, the government is us. These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you. I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place. It’s a government of and by and for the people.”

As in, "some people have unrealistic expectations of the president in a system where political possibilities are limited by a constitution?"

Classic double speak. The fact that "the govt is us" and
Apr 4, 2013, 12:31 PM

that he is "constrained" is exactly what the debate is over. One side says that those principles mean the govt doesn't have that power. The other side is free to argue it does.
But to say, "Hey, its OK. If we infringe on your rights, is OK, because after all, the Govt is us" probably reveals more about him than most people want to admit.
Remember when Nixon said, "Its not illegal if the President does it?" He had to leave office for that. Times have changed.
