I can't believe he said that. It's ass backward and he's a constitutional lawyer! He knows how important it is for society to be involved and aware of it's own government decisions and actions.
It leaves an uneasy feeling - about the future.

Good point, Obama.
The government is not the source of all of our problems, the government and also the economy are by and large dictated by behavioral patterns of the population as a whole. A politically apathetic people will be susceptible to corrupt reps and unaccountable agencies.
Government has killed over 250 million people in the last 110 years.
A lot of this and that gets said over the internet, but how many of the people here are out physically improving the knowledge level of their locality? I'm not, so you know what? I deserve a corrupt government and economy. Because, it wouldn't take a huge number of people in a given location to contradict the trend of an easily manipulated population. If people were to get out of their chairs and actually go outside to real people near by and start some kind of initiative toward higher individual/community empowerment, then before you know it a higher ethic society would probably pick up steam and maybe we'd get somewhere.
NDAA and the monsanto protection act...you mean like that empowerment?
Talking about this stuff on the internet is fine, but the density of informed people remains low because a person has to have a certain amount of awareness to question the situation and end up on a site like this in the first place. What we need is true action in the real world creating masses of people who want to change the situation, develop pocket markets of higher culture which will inevitably produce a wider trend rapidly with a solid intellectual product to build off of.
We then we'll be branded as terrorists.
Obama's right, the slow political process shouldn't discourage people from the possibility of swift improvements... our society and culture is driven by the market, not the elections.
Obama signs death warrants to kill innocent bystanders in drone attacks and signed the monsanto protection act

He was a "professor" on Constitutional law; not a lawyer (he was a 'civil rights' lawyer). He never argued a Constitutional case. Even then, he was a "senior lecturer"; whatever that is but it was a semantic game and the university came to the aid of President Obama on that claim.
Either way, his words are a far cry from say, Dwight Eisenhower or Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy or George Washington or ....; you get the idea.
Indeed dangerous advice. I would have accepted it if it were more tempered to not be persuaded by fringes of each side, but that isn't his game.

The fact that he even humors the idea is enough to get my attention. If he's addressing a young group of easily influenced adults about this, then i now realize he realizes how pissed the American public is quickly becoming.
