Obama Violated US Constitution, Libya War is Abuse of Power & Betrayal of People's Trust

Obama violated his oath to the U.S. Constitution and betrayed the trust of the American people because he had no right to involve our military in a war in Libya. His violation of the Constitution is a wrong against all U.S. citizens, not only those who trusted him when he made these explicate statements in order to gain our trust. He tricked people into voting for him. We are being robbed of our rights which are stipulated in our Constitution. We have rights, the primary one is our right to our Constitutional republic. The father of the Constitution warned of exactly this abuse of power on the part of a president, James Madison explained how our Constitution was deliberately designed to prevent a president from doing what Obama has done. "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." Our Constitution was deliberately designed to prevent Obama from doing what he explicitly promised he would not do if we entrusted him to uphold the Constitution!

He should be impeached.

War Warning from Madison, 4th US President:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F5iBdxvgzQ&list=PLE922C56101DB9326
"In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department. Beside the objection to such a mixture of heterogeneous powers: the trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man: not such as nature may offer as the prodigy of many centuries, but such as may be expected in the ordinary successions of magistracy. War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war a physical force is to be created, and it is the executive will which is to direct it. In war the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war the honors and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle. The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace." James Madison September 14, 1793 http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2010/07/james-madison-warned-us-about...

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." - Candidate Obama, in 2007, answering what he himself described as "essential questions.":
"These are essential questions that all the candidates should answer.  Any President takes an oath to, "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."  The American people need to know where we stand on these issues before they entrust us with this responsibility -- particularly at a time when our laws, our traditions, and our Constitution have been repeatedly challenged by this Administration."

"Obama's late 20o7 statements about executive power were not some off-the-cuff remarks about an ancillary issue.  Rather, they were part of a statement he prepared in which he cited numerous key legal advisers (Cass Sunstein, Greg Craig, Laurence Tribe, and Jeh Johnson [now the DoD General Counsel who told him he must comply with the WPR]).  More importantly, the questionnaire he was answering was exclusively about executive power: one of the central concerns for Democratic voters in the Bush era.  In the questionnaire, Obama himself explained why these issues -- and his answers -- were so vital:
These are essential questions that all the candidates should answer.  Any President takes an oath to, "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."  The American people need to know where we stand on these issues before they entrust us with this responsibility -- particularly at a time when our laws, our traditions, and our Constitution have been repeatedly challenged by this Administration.
Obama himself urged voters to pay attention to the candidates' answers on executive power and to rely on them before deciding whom to "entrust" with the responsibility of the awesome powers of the Oval Office." - Glenn Greenwald, Salon: http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2011/06/29/koh

People are jumping over this video, but do your own research of all presidents back to one of the greatest JFK. Lots loved JFK, his talk about ending the corrupt Fed and lobbyists, how bout the Cuban Missile Crisis. We need a strong President that will stand up against our Congress in our best interest & not lie. Ending the Fed and the Congressional corruption is #1. Ask yourself if no one is going to obey the Constitution why do we have one? The Constitution is LAW & our PROTECTION against

[froglipps007]

This video is correct it is an oath. Police get prosecuted over this exact same thing. Several past presidents should have gotten impeached. His intentions were good at first, but he either got threatened or rewarded. Obama did a complete 360 and if you can actually state he is doing the best he can, then apparently you have not done your homework. Heck, I voted for the guy on his intentions. To do your best is one thing, but to deceive us is another. I ask you to research each candidate.

[froglipps007]

You noticed how groceries and products price went up,hidden tax increase and companies pass that onto the consumer. The Fed to the lobbyist to his website showing us all bills before he signs or vetos them, he is a liar like the past president back to the last president JFK. Do you own research and don't be influenced by anybody except yourself. If nobody is talking about Congress lobbyist and the Federal Reserve then they ain't no president for us.

[froglipps007]

It's amazing how anybody could defend any of these last presidents over the last 40 so years. Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc etc. Doing his best, no he's not. All Economist were calling for a stimulus for the people, instead we got chump change we had to pay back and a tax increase. The banks and major corps got lots. What happen to the 5 trillion dollars the banks supposedly paid back, what's Obama doing about our lost money?

It amaze me, how must people get on Obama case rather then Bush who killed and violated many laws. I was persuade to believed by my white friend who told me this. 'Because they don't see reality and every damn thing America has to do with race, we all should learn to face the fact and don't escape from reality, he's doing his best and cleaning up some of Bush's mess.' Hmmm this got me wondering a bit and I thought to myself maybe he's kind of right bout what he said.

@thefish103 Nope haven't proven anything except for an opinionated video. Why you like dictators so much will allude my understanding forever...You haven't explained what the US is doing in Afghanistan if the motivation for war is oil. Or why you think that think that striking MILITARY targets who are killing people, is the same as dropping bombs on civilians. Maybe Obama killed Kaddafi (your hero) too. If someone is dead Obama had to do it!!

[CrusaderDom3]

@thefish103 Well I don't have to prove my intelligence to you bc this is not an intellectual topic. And you are right recognizing free speech doesn't make one more intelligent bc free speech is simply common knowledge.To me all your talk of intelligence suggests a reaction formation on your part. Talking like a professor just makes you sound like you have something in your ass.So you can cut and run whenever, but you still haven't proven anything in your quest to defend dictators.

[thefish103]

@CrusaderDom3 Let me end my discussion with you by wishing you well, and suggesting that you do a little research before you spew your world views all over YouTube. The data I suggested you take a look at was very objective analysis, and not conspiracy theory. A mere recognition of free speech does nothing to increase your intelligence or promote human rights - and you do seem to be concerned with the well being of humanity .

[CrusaderDom3]

@thefish103 No I won't look up any video that I bet are just a bunch of loose change like hippies drumming up some conspiracies. Just some crazy high voiced neophytes talking about what they think is true for attention--there is free speech here ya'know.

[thefish103]

@CrusaderDom3 A quick search on Google will lead you to many articles referencing the civilian deaths caused by the war. Someone put together an excellent synopsis on Wikepedia if you care to read (I'd attach if YouTube would allow), or you can continue to pretend that Obama and NATO are looking out for the good of humanity - tell that to the Sudanese.
