1. Wouldn't he have to actually read the Constitution first?

[PatSeg]

3. That was the first thing that popped in my head

I'd like to see someone quiz him on the Constitution. All he knows is the title.

[LiberalFighter]

8. Wouldn't he need to know the difference between the Constitution and Declaration of Independence?

And know that the Preamble is part of the Constitution?
Or that the United States was not the United States before the Revolution?

Or know the reasons expressed in the Declaration of Independence that were given for going to war against England? (Religion and God were not the reasons)

2. He is so full of himself

Isn't he?

4. "Could our founders really have been dumb enough to ... allow this to happen?"

Glenn Beck on Czars:

So, what's the problem? I mean, czars can cut through the bureaucracy and get stuff done, right? Right… but who do they answer to?

They don't need to be confirmed by the Senate; they rarely go before committees; they can claim "executive privilege" when asked to testify, and they're accountable to no one but the president himself.

But look at the power we've handed to these unelected, unconfirmed people.

On the low end, you've got the "Great Lakes czar," who has a budget of $475 million. But on the high end, you've got the economic czar, regulatory czar and government performance czar that can oversee trillions of dollars.

In between you've got a "drug czar," "terrorism czar," "urban affairs czar," "technology czar," "intelligence czar," "cyber czar" and six other "czars" — we could really use a "czar czar" to stay on top of.

Could our founders really have been dumb enough to write a Constitution that would allow this to happen? Of course not. The Constitution says that all revenue bills must start in the House and that oversight is one of the most important jobs of the legislative branch — two concepts that are now being shredded.

Besides, if this isn't just a power grab, then why do we need a "health czar" when we already have a confirmed health and human services secretary? Why do we need a "border czar" when we have ICE and a secretary of homeland security? Why do we need a "car czar" when we already have Treasury and Energy Departments?

The answer: Because none of that bureaucracy answers directly to the president... the czars do. Everyone else answers to you. The czars don't.

Shorter Glenn Beck: "Czars are bad. Except if I, or my crazy followers, were Czar(s)."

5. We did decide

[AusDem]

6. uninformed "backassward" populism at its finest.

what a circus he and palin make

[ProgressOnTheMove]

7. They have such a disdain for their fellow citizens he's mocking them and he knows it. I don't know..

why they don't know it no-one on their side is known for telling the truth why on earth does ayone give the time of day let alone an event. :wtf: How many lies can they stomach till they say I'm done, I've got indegstion now because when I work out I'm been hoodwinked I sure get that feeling. A lie is an act of hate Right wingers, here's the coffee just have a smell. They never offer any right wingers aolution to their problems, they only offer someone to blame, there has to come a time in right wingers life where they go hold on why is that.
