    Or it could be that the board is full of a bunch of mean , nasty, UnChristlike, politically motivated individuals who are spurred on more by their political devotion than they are a love for Christ and others.

    Yep. I'm gonna go with that.

    Or it could be we respect the Oath which says:
    “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

    Crabby either your ignorance or your slavish devotion to the radical left is showing. It was the majority leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, who empowered Obamma, not the Republicans.

    No one can say we were not warned. Obamme said he was going to fundamentally transform this country and he has, to the applause of leftists like Crabby and zap!

    If Obamme had been white he would not have made first base but stupid voters got a thrill voting for the first black president. If Hillary runs these same stupid voters will vote for the first woman president!

    Or could it be that yall fooled yourselves into believing you respect that oath while all the while disrespecting the one who took the oath, and really only respecting that oath so far as the person who took it does what you want him to do?

    He has exceeded his authority, ignored the Constitution, and fulfilling his campaign promise. In all respects he has been successful!

    He has indeed. But you all thought it was a great idea to let George W. Bush have extra constitutional "dictatorial" powers to save you from the "terrorists".

    So when you go to blame someone else for Obama being such a lawless president remember . . . you let Bush set the precedent.
