Obama’s Betrayal of the Constitution

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/12/opinion/obamas-betrayal-of-the-constitution.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=c-column-top-span-region&region=c-column-top-span-region&WT.nav=c-column-top-span-region&_r=1
PRESIDENT OBAMA’s declaration of war against the terrorist group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria marks a decisive break in the American constitutional tradition. Nothing attempted by his predecessor, George W. Bush, remotely compares in imperial hubris.

Mr. Bush gained explicit congressional consent for his invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In contrast, the Obama administration has not even published a legal opinion attempting to justify the president’s assertion of unilateral war-making authority. This is because no serious opinion can be written.

A poster from 1934

These are words from a poster in 1934, a parody on the times.

Plan of Action for US

SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!

Under the guise of recovery

- Bust the government

- Blame the capitalists for the failure

- Junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship
