    Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor

    I would like to hear some of those lectures:

    "You see class, the President gets to decide when the Constitution is applied. This of course is based on the political climate and the President's interpretation of this climate. For the President is our benevolent father who knows what is good for all. Trust in him, especially if he is Harvard educated."

    Man it has to be good to be the King.
