President Snookie and Obamcare


Popular is not better

Recently President Obama urged the Supreme Court not to overturn Obamacare as it was instituted by a democratically elected congress.  After all, listening to Occupy Wall Street, The United States is a democracy where all have equal voice... right?

Wrong.

See if you recognize this:
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands...”  

"And to the Democracy?"  No.  Republic.  The United States is not, nor ever was, a democracy.  The US follows the rules outlined in a piece of paper called the Constitution.  The US has 3 branches of government.

1) The Executive Branch where a person called the president is like a king; powerful and can make quick decisions.  But what if that ruler happens to be crazy?  

2) Enter Congress, the 2nd branch.  They like are a big committee in that they can absorb crazies.  So why have an Executive Branch at all?  Try ordering a pizza with 10 people.  It’ll take forever to decide a single topping.  Committees are slow in making decisions.  

Thus the branches balance each other out.  One balanced but slow, the other fast, but too powerful to act alone.  

3) The 3rd branch, the Judiciary Branch, decides if the ideas the other 2 are making are in fact constitutional.  

Democracy in action.
Watch any State of the Union address.  The president makes a boast and his congressional supporters tow the party line and applaud while the opposing party sits in silence.  The judiciary branch, like the military, never stands. Their function is not to tow party lines, but decide if the 2 branches are following the constitution.

The supreme court is not elected directly by the people but in part by the President.  This is why potential presidents are vetted.  We need to know what he believes.  Does he go to church?  What kind of church?  Who are his influences?  What’s his history?  Did he cheat on his wife?  And so on. 

What’s scary is our president, a supposed learned man and constitutional scholar, and currently the most powerful man on earth, does not know the fundamentals of how the US works!

Forget vetting, did President Obama attend 1st grade?  Has he ever recited the pledge of allegiance?  Did he comprehend the words?

This is why our upcoming 2012 election is the most important election of our lifetime.  If only on his lack of fundamental understanding of what our government is, President Obama cannot earn re-election no matter how cool he is.
