The first comment is highly instructive:
"The American tragedy that is the Obama presidency exceeds all norms of responsible conduct. No longer able to convene crowds of any significance, the Obama campaign has degenerated into the intolerable spectacle of a miserably failed politician appearing before captive audiences of school-age children spewing his message of class warfare to obscure his dismal performance as POTUS. In a sycophantic relationship with Teacher's Unions, who herd their young wards into school auditoriums to cheer and respond on cue for Obama's virulent message, the man-child is able to project a false aura on compliant MSM TV coverage of public acceptance. His teleprompter rants to these impressionable youngsters consists of a theme that: "those Republicans want to take away your clean air, clean water, and healthcare." Responsible parents who send their youngsters to school for academic pursuits, should be in whole scale revolt over the despicable exploitation of their children as political props. Barack, the twenty-five million Americans who are out of work as a result of your miserably failed policies, want a vibrant economy that affords an opportunity to feed, house and provide for their families - NOT - another teleprompter rant attempting to scapegoat anyone and anything for the economic malaise that has befallen America as a consequence of your unprecedented level of misfeasance.

It's one of those hard to believe this happened issues here. We all know that the highest mortal court in the land has declared, the constitution is clear. The right to posses and bare are clear. Too many times this nation has wasted time and money redefining or at least trying to, redefine what our founders meant to say. Funny little thing, independent thought. But for me the words were put in print and clear as 2+2. So should there be ANY truth to this theory that it has been an attempt to discredit the constitution's clarity, well by God this crew of obama's had better be run out on a rail, but not before they face trial for high crimes against the USA. That little oath thing they all have to make clear they understand, once they begin to take our hard earned dollars. Now regarding this Neubeck guy? He must have been asleep the last decade or out of the country on a long vacation. Congress just sent another stack of job killer free trade plans to bozobama to sign post haste, in order to continue the growth factors for even more corporate entitlements. The problem I have with this neubck's opinion, is that the first 6 of these fine deals to grow American jobs outside the USA, is that there was already the unstoppable losses of millions of jobs long before this short haired hipi took office. As much as I cannot stomach this president and the frayed misguided congresses we feed, I refuse to lay the blame solely at his feet as this greg guy obviously does. It's so foolish as a nation to play this kind of blind man's bluff and emporer's new clothes game. Every term one or the other are accused of the very same things. Bush spent more, clinton spent more, Reagan spent, more they were all crooks and mind benders, they all forget why they were elected. Blah blah blah. Here and now, It's become pointless to try and lead us along the right path in such a short time with so many misguided and underhanded schemes all supported by the government as a whole. It was a bit of a gag but, i really do want the party in power to be all of one or the other. But from my heart i say give it ALL to the republicans as it should have been under the last election where mccaine had won. I bet we all would be either quiet or looking to lynch him. At best we couldn't blame bozobama though the exact same problems would be our condition. Once our electeds act for the nation rather than a few under the guise of the nation, well we might just never hear from guys like greg again.
