OATH OF OFFICE

Before a President of the United States enters on the Execution of his Office, he takes the following Oath or Affirmation:— “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.”

A very simple oath and yet one that appears to have been misunderstood by the current president. His actions from the very beginning lean away from “protect and defend” and more toward “pretend to defend”.

Let’s start with the appointments of his many czars, some of whom have changed our text books and rule books to reflect a more favorable attitude toward criminals and a diminishing narrative of American history and values. On to “Fast and Furious” which resulted in the murder of border patrol agent Brian Terry. Speaking of murder, our loyal team in Benghazi, including our ambassador, were killed by terrorists who were never caught or prosecuted. Americans were fed a story about a video in an effort to appease anyone without a brain. Then we have the IRS scandal; this is an attempt to muzzle the free speech of anyone who does not agree with his majesty. There is the  ongoing destructive and interminable lies of Obamacare. And the VA scandal is proof that loyal Americans have no value to the administration of “change”. The latest debacle, releasing five high level Taliban leaders from Gitmo, seems to verify that this administration wants to destroy America. In my opinion, this malfeasance of office borders on treason.

With the revelation of each scandal, the president had the right words for America. “You can be sure…” or “Rest assured that the offenders will be brought to justice”. But there is no justice for America while this administration, with the only Attorney General to be held in contempt of Congress, reigns. Talk is cheap!  And to date, no one has been held accountable. No one has been prosecuted.

The president is supposed to be a Constitutional scholar and, yet, he has ignored Congress as if they were not a co-equal branch. As news reports reveal public outrage, he takes the podium to announce that he found out about it on the news. So, who in the heck is running the Oval Office, Steve Urkel? (Did I do that?) So many of the president’s actions have worked to impede the American way: skyrocketing debt, quantitative easing, downgrade of America’s credit rating, joblessness, excessive regulations, failure to implement programs that create good jobs, the list is too long to enumerate, and all point to the utter and complete annihilation of American ideals. The writing is on the wall in large graffiti like letters that are constantly painted over by the media in the name of “benefit of the doubt” or “executive privilege”. Someone has to be held accountable for the wrongdoings.

It pains me to use the race card but, if this president were white, he would have been impeached years ago.
