Presidential Oath of Office - defending the Constitution; nothing about a citizen of the world
memory dot loc dot gov ^ | 7-23-08

Posted on 07/24/2008 10:52:09 PM PDT by doug from upland

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

If Barack Obama, God forbid, is the one taking this oath on Jan. 20, does anyone seriously believe he will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution? It appears that his first loyalty is as citizen of the world. He has no problem whatsoever knocking our country.

Of course not. Then again, neither will McCain.

Mrs. Bologna? If that was at 7pm, yes, I did. I also heard her two days ago on Laura Ingraham.

Obama has acknowledged that he believes in a “living Constitution” - i.e., government has no bounds so long as a judge approves an action. McCain has promised to promote constructionist judges. He is far from perfect, but that’s a big difference.

A “President Obama” will be one giant leap for socialism in America. Let us pray that that nightmare will pass us by.

I’m surprised he didn’t have them play ‘The Internationale’ as he came to, and left, the stage.

Obama is the candidate because he will represent good foreign policy in Africa. When you have China buying mineral rights, one country at a time, from dictators like Mugabe, Obama is being put forth as an answer for those delicate negotiations. I am not saying it is right, I am just saying. It still begs the question...who is running this country these days?

"It appears that his first loyalty is as citizen of the world."

That's why he campaigning in Germany to be the president of the world. His speech was about world governance, and HE is "the one" he says.

So we’re supposed to believe that McCain will appoint judges that would stand in the way of his agenda? I don’t think so. Judges slightly less horrendous than Obama’s? That, I can buy.
