Obama claims the Constitution was written over 2,000 years ago. Didn't Obama claim he was a "Constitutional Scholar?"

Absolutely no press coverage on this. But don't accuse the media of bias.

I'm sure they will blame the teleprompter again. I think his teleprompter is out to get him.

RR...are we watching the same clip??

..."principles put to paper over 20 centuries ago."

Make sense???

Where did he say the word 'constitution' in reference to the phrase "more than twenty centuries ago"??

Hmmmm?

Hint: He did not.

I am not a supporter of this governmental system, but it just seemed like an honest misread/mistake to me. I mean, who cares. He is only human. He is allowed to make a mistake you know.

By any chance are you trying to say that this is proof for Obama being a liar?

Ah. Good point. I guess I am more tired than I thought. Thanks for making me see this.

I believe you may both be missing it, here.

If you listen to the words it is obvious that the remark about '20 centuries' has nothing to do with the Constitution.

The website that originally posted this seems desperate, to say the least -- truncating the segment in order to insinuate something that was not meant.

Again....the comments about "20 centuries" is clearly a reference to the rule of law. I am not sure if he's referring to 'christian' law, though....if he is, it would greatly distress me.

However, since he said 'more than' I am hoping he was talking about the foundations of LAW, as first envisioned and demonstrated by the Greeks.

And, to the OP...the 'telepromptr' stuff from the Faux-'news' playbook is just getting tired. It's as if the 'shrub', nor the 'gipper' ever used one!!!!

Why is he even bringing up the Constitution?
He must be getting ready to trash it.


Oh....never mind.

You've put your foot in it....mine won't fit now....

So typical! Obama is only human, he's allowed to make mistakes. If Bush had said that, MSM would have been on his ass like white on rice. Don't tell me there is not a double standard.

So, your suggesting he's was refering to the bible??? If so, what does that have to do with the Judges tasks and the Presidents of appointing them? Even if your silly suggestion of the 20 centuries meaning putting those in words is kind of, well off just a bit. First, the bible was put into words about 1791 years ago and why would we have to do it again? Second, the Constitution is what the Judges have to decide on, not the bible. So in closing, admit that this popus ass is just that a popus ass.

Aeons....it isn't really about the educational system here...although, you have a point for a new thread......

What is happening, by the OP's posting, is nothing short of political baiting.

However, to the OP's credit, his/her post was largely influenced by the website it came from. AND by the plethora of "Negative Nancies" that call themselves 'pundits' (on ALL sides, mind you!). I am not so naive as to defend certain lefties...they know who they are. BUT, a moderate should not allow any of them to trash the other.

(Well...unless it is deserved. AND, sometimes, it is...)

But this is an example of desperation, as I said before. Desperation to find something...anything...negative about a pol.

Slightly OT....but perhaps our ATS friends from other climes haven't heard about the silly "indignation" because a President decided to take his wife on a date for dinner and a play!!!!

Oh, the hand-wringing!!! Oh, it "cost the taxpayers so much"!

Whereas...President number 43 spent MORE time off, in Crawford, Texas, than any President prior. AF1 had to be there (nearest Air Base)...away from the Base at Andrews. Not to mention all of the supporting paraphernalia.....

All of this should be measured.

I understand what you are saying but you should ask yourself, "am I falling into the segregational trap of two sides of the same coin tactic?"

As I stated in my first post, I do not advocate this current government system. It needs to be amended severely to excrete the stronghold the elitists have on policy making/manipulation.

The fact is, humans are prone to error. I really think this whole discussion about "20 centuries ago" is dwarfed in significance compared to some other topics in which we should be devoting our time.
