Is anyone else concerned by Obama's comments in the speech last night....?

about how the Executive branch is "inefficient, outdated and remote" and how he"asked this Congress to grant me the authority to consolidate the federal bureaucracy, so that our government is leaner, quicker, and more responsive to the needs of the American people"? This tells me he wants Congress to grant him the power to be the ultimate authority for this country, and thus, bypassing Congress and totally going against the Constitution. Could this be the beginning of the end for liberty and our personal freedoms?

    Obama is stealing our Liberty daily.

    Romney will do the same.

    Any one owned by lobbyists will continue the trend

    Any one who owes favors will continue the trend.

    Ron Paul is not owned or owes any favors!

    Sorry, I don't come to the same conclusion.

    I don't think Congress is going to grant such powers to anyone.

    Actually isn't this the same thing Paul keeps preaching?

    No.

    If I was paranoid and did not truly understand the limits of power as defined by the US Constitution (and Obama did not say ANYTHING that challenged the Constitution) then I might agree with you. But I just don't.

    I was more concerned by how Obama's State of the Union Address was entirely for political gain and geared toward his campaign and ignoring anything remotely negative.

    You heard it wrong. Or you didn't understand the message he's trying to convey.

    Nobody watches Barry's speeches.

    They are -- as Shakespeare said -- "a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury but signifying nothing."

    He sounds like a Republican.

    Source(s): You should like his anti-government talk, right?
