Is Obama Losing His Mind?

The hint I had about what an amateur we had as a President came when the Cambridge Police arresting an old friend of President Obama's.  The President's "...police acted stupidly" comment would be quoted over and over again in the weeks and months afterward.  I thought, this guy is not only amateurish, but he's lacking in intelligence.  For example, this week we have heard oral arguments on Obamacare.  This health care intiative by President Obama is the centerpiece of his administration.  But, the U.S. Supreme Court is on the verge of declaring the entire package as unconstitutional.  How is it that a constitutional law professor didn't know his pride and joy could possibly be unconstitutional?  How about he didn't care if it was constitutional or not?  President Obama has only one thought process.  That being, his way or no way.  Only he can be right.  Everyone else is either wrong or just plain stupid.  He is the most conceited President we have ever had. That brings me to my next point.

The President's "open mic" moment with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is something that puzzles even the most ardent Obama supporter.  Why couldn't he have waited to tell Medvedev that he wanted to wait until after the election so he could have more "flexibility" in dealing with the missile defense system that scares Russia so much?  The first question that pops into one's head; did Obama mean he was going to give Russia what they wanted and to hell with the safety of the United States?  Probably not.  Or possibly he did.  No one knows.  But, it was a strange moment.  It was a moment that one almost would be inclined to believe was done on purpose.  For what reason, no one knows.  No one knows why he stated that Travon Martin would look just like a son Obama would have if Obama had a son.  What exactly was that suppose to infer?  Why would President Obama, once again, get involved with a local incident that now shows the potential of spiraling out of control?  It borders on being totally weird. And why take on the Catholic church over contraceptives back in January?  It is sheer lunacy.

I hate to think what a second term of President Obama would bring.  President Obama appears to be letting the job drive him insane.  Not insane in the sense that the pressure is getting too much for him.  I say he is becoming insane with power and all it encompasses.  This President does not see himself as just the head of the executive branch of government.  In Obama's mind, he is the government.  There is no Legislative branch, there is no Judicial branch.  There is only President Barack Obama.  His "open mic" moment is an indication of just this fact.

Judge Kagan to Recuse on Obamacare?

A story that is circulating and causing much anger amongst conservatives (and for totally opposite reasons, liberals as well) Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan sent an excited email to a Harvard Law professor stating that "they have the votes" for Obamacare.  Justice Kagan sent a series of emails discussing the passage of Obamacare aka Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March of 2010.  “I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing,” Kagan said to Tribe in one of the emails.  "Larry" is Harvard Law professor Larry Tribe.  Kagan served as Solicitor General for President Obama prior to being nominated and confirmed as Supreme Court Justice.  The concern, of course, did Kagan help write the defense of Obamacare?  If so, she must recuse herself.

8 USC 455, a Supreme Court justice must recuse from “any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”  If as Solicitor General, Justice Kagan helped draft a defense of Obamacare, she must recuse herself from deliberations on this lawsuit.  Of course, the above Harvard Law professor is defending Kagan.  He is stating Kagan should not have to recuse herself even in face of evidence she cannot be impartial.  This also flies in the face of her questioning before Senate Republicans during the confirmation process.  She stated emphatically she could be impartial in deliberations on the lawsuits against Obamacare.  Now, liberal groups are stating that Clarence Thomas should recuse himself as well.  The rationale for that is that Justice Thomas's wife has been quite vocal in her opposition to Obamacare.  Last time I checked, a Supreme Court Justice is not confirmed for a seat on the US Supreme Court based on the opinion of their spouse.  If we go this route, every married justice serving would have recuse him or herself because of what their spouse might say or think.  Of course, this is ridiculous.  Justice Kagan, however, must recuse herself based on the emails.  She cannot be impartial,.
