FOUNDING FATHERS HAUNT OBAMA

Founding Fathers Know Best, by Ross Edward Puskar. Hugo House Publishers, 2012 vii + 283 pp., Amazon price $17.95 paperback; $9.95 Kindle.

Have you ever wondered what America’s founding fathers would say to President Barack Obama? Imagine the rhetorical thunder that would ensue from that clash of philosophies. If you’ve been anxiously awaiting such a meeting then you’re in luck. Ross Edward Puskar brings them together in his book Founding Fathers Know Best. 

Mr. Puskar’s first foray into political fiction cleverly inculcates American history with current events through a literary narrative that pays homage to Dickens A Christmas Carol. In Founding Fathers Know Best there is a club known as the President’s Club. The club is comprised of the spirits of deceased U.S. presidents, and it’s purpose is for the spirits to visit sitting Presidents so that they may impart their wisdom and counsel. As one may surmise the president of the club is George Washington, who personally selects the apparitions that visit each sitting president. 

FOUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES AS 2012 RESOLUTIONS

America is about to face another full year, hopefully the last, of the Obama regime’s affronts to our founding father’s principles and the canons of the Constitution. In fact King Obama has kicked off 2012 in fine form, thumbing his nose again at the Constitution by appointing Richard Cordray to serve as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an outgrowth of the Obama-led Dodd-Frank bill that empowers the federal government to pick financial institution bailout winners and losers. Seem familiar? Just think Solyndra. Mr. Obama enjoys playing Russian roulette with America’s economy.

Mr. Cordray is Mr. Obama’s latest big brother czar-like leader to social engineer America’s economy. The problem is the monarch-in-chief appointed Mr. Cordray in violation of the Constitution. Mr. Obama, who laughably claims he taught constitutional law as his only real former job, appointed Mr. Cordray without senatorial approval while the Senate was still in session. That my friends is unconstitutional and also flies in the face of the Senate’s long-standing role to advice and consent on presidential appointees.
