The United States Constitution clearly states the purpose of raising a military--"common defense." For some reason, Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama thinks he can go on bombing sprees without any approval from Congress, and his comments are becoming more arrogant with this use of force with each passing day.
When asked yesterday about his illegal war in Libya, Obama perhaps provided his greatest dis to the Constitution. He answered the question, "I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question.”
That's an arrogant dis since the Constitution is supreme law of the land and first and foremost defines the limits and responsibilities of Obama's job. The bottom line here is he is not using our military for what the founders gave him military powers for.
Congressman Ron Paul was quick to jump on Obama's disregard of the Constitution.
“You take an oath of office to obey the Constitution… the Constitution is very clear, you don’t go to war without a declaration,” said Paul.
Of course, since when has Obama really cared about the Constitution? After all, Obama thinks the federal government can tell you what to buy and when to buy it (Obamacare), and clearly the Founding Fathers would reject such a notion.
