Tina Turner once asked, "What's love got to do with it?"

....... and American might ask the same question. As our Community Organizer in Chief traipses around the country asking for 'love' ........ and another half trillion dollar porkulus bill... Apparently if members of Congress 'love' him, they will pass his bill unedited.

I have to wonder if he ever read our Constitution.

For that matter, I wonder if any or all of our Congressmen and Senators have read it?

The very first paragraph of the very first Section of the very first Article reads:

"Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

Please note that this first paragraph does not say that the POTUS shall legislate. It says the Congress shall legislate. The President then can sign, or veto the legislated bills forwarded to him!

Somehow, we have reversed this procedure in this country. I reckon it started with FDR, but it's continued downhill with both parties since then. It seems to this old head, that if we need a jobs bill, the POTUS ought to stand in his bully pulpit and say so. And then get the hell out of the way while Congress legislates a jobs bill if they see fit and as they see fit. He can then accept or reject it.

But what we have is a POTUS whose aides draft a bill, he presents to Congress and says here, take this and pass it. That's not legislating, that's dictating.

Or am I missing something here??
