Well put, dcase. This is the problem with the national debate on so many issues: the core concepts have a different meaning for the Left. For them, constitution = I now have the lawmaking authority, and I can do what I want with it.

Here's a satirical view of the same issue:

The real shocker is not Sykes herself, but the fact that an event involving the president sank to the very bottom of the taste and decency scale. Then to see the Marxist messiah reclining with his arrogant little smirk. Somehow this hits me even more than all those articles about the insane and destructive policies being forced upon us. This is truly in your face. "Go to hell, America" is being blasted loud and clear. It's the standup comedy version of Jeremiah Wright.

SCOTTY: There's a problem with the torpedo bay, Captain Barock.

CAPT. BAROCK: Now what?

SCOTTY: Remember your affirmative action program for torpedo bay technicians?

CAPT. BAROCK: Yeah...

SCOTTY: You said it was okay that they don't know how to read or write, as long as they come from an oppressed racial, religious, or sexual group.

CAPT. BAROCK: Oh, no...

SCOTTY: They wrecked the priming mechanism. We need at least two solar days to repair it.

CAPT. BAROCK: Scotty, contact Starfleet immediately, take responsibility, and give them your resignation.

Leftism is a spiritual disease that has seized our country, and indeed, all of Western civilization. The patient cannot be cured, however, until he realizes that he is ill. Too many people are still living in their little Leftist fairyland, clinging to their pseudo-religion. They are akin to a man with acute chest pain who denies that any problem exists with his heart. But at a certain point, the inevitable heart-attack comes, and denial is no longer an option. Only at this point can rehabilitation begin.

As some others have said on this thread, let the Left show its true colors. I agree. The collapse of their messiah is going to be spectacular. Seeing this video clip reinforces my conviction that the Cult of Obama knows no restraint, no limits. Good. They will dig their own political grave.
