So, Obama Taught Constitutional Law?

The real issue here isn't the reversal. Both CREW and the ACLU, among others, came out in support of the change. But given Obama's background as a Constitutional Law professor, it's fair to ask why he made the rules in the first place. Was he willing to set aside principle so that he might capitalize on what proved to be a good talking point? Or, does he not really know, or perhaps care about the Constitution at all? It's hard to tell with this guy.

In March, President Obama announced that government officials would not be allowed to consider the views of lobbyists regarding specific stimulus projects unless the requests are put in writing. The materials also had to be posted on an agency’s website within three business days of receipt.

Now, the just-revised rules will allow government personnel to accept meetings and calls from federally registered lobbyists on the implementation of stimulus projects. The head of the Office of Management and Budget, Peter Orszag, issued a new guidance late Friday regarding the administration's communications with registered lobbyists about economic recovery funds.

Gentleman simply do not document their bribes.

I disagree. It IS the reversal as well. This action further validates Geraghty's axiom and demonstrates Obama's complete absence of principles.
But why should we be surprised when a Soros group agrees with an Obama action?

Why has Barry al Hussein refused to release his birth certificate and his college transcripts, which traditionally, presidential candidates routinely release when they begin to run for the White House.

For the slow-witted.....(like Chrissy Matthews), a "certificate of live birth" IS NOT THE SAME DOCUMENT as a birth certificate. Moreover, in Hawaii in 1961, "COLB" documents were also given to babies that were NOT actually born in Hawaii but the parents wanted to register residency in Hawaii.

Most liberals claim to be more “compassionate” than the rest of us. Currently, the “health-care crisis” has topped the left’s “Top 10 Moral Outrages” list. Suddenly, cries to free the latest victim class du jour (”the 47 million”) from their uninsured bondage can be heard from lib lips coast to coast. Whipped to a frenzy by Barry “the sky is falling” Obama, the MSM, ACORN and Nancy Pelosi are pushing hard to change the face of American medicine before their political capital evaporates. Why more people aren’t wary of a President who, with every (daily) speech, reveals himself to possess a disturbing tendency towards exaggeration, distortion, and outright lie, is beyond me, but this man does it as an art. This is the guy, after all, who - with enough hoden to make even a Stasiland apparatchik blush - dubbed 2010’s bloated, pork-laden, crony ass-kissing, $3.55 trillion budget as “a new era of responsibility.”

Obama is an affirmative action graduate.. this dude knows nothing other than what his teleprompter tells him he knows.. the black race is made up of his type.. passed through grade after grade knowing nothing except a few "big" words and viola!!! they be "smart".. I'm just surprised he doesn't wear those stupid eye glasses like Malcom X.. everytime I see black people with those on I snicker knowing they are pretenders.. I'd like to see Obama spell POTATO or POTATOES.. hahhh.. Dan Quayle ain't got nothing on him... let me tell ya.. Obama is a very very ignorant man.. and that is very dangerous given the power he has now.. but then.. go vote for this asswipe a few more times.. maybe he'll turn into one of those black actors that play all the tech roles.. that's always good for a laugh for me considering I am a high tech employee.. and let me tell you.. we have one black person and nobody wants him to do anything except stay at his desk and surf the internet.. because he screws up everything he touches.. and we have a trail on it.. or then again maybe he will turn into the President on West Wing or what the F ever.. all I know is this dude is the biggest racist and bungler we've ever had as a president.. no ifs ands or buts (except for Michelle's astronomically large readend)

Obama's dream is to become President of the world. He will puch for a one world order and a one world president. He wants to be that President.

He does not care about AMERICA. In fact he HATES America.

If he cared about America and "ALL" ITS PEOPLE he would nto be doing all the things he has done and said.

He cares only for the people that supported him and he has been "swift" in paying them all back. AGI, THE BANKS, THE CAR COMPANIES, "THE UNIONS", Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and on and on and on.

These select few do not represent "all of the American people".

Half of Chicago in in his administration. THE MOB IS NOW IN CONTROL.

GOD BLESS AMERICAN AND THE DECENT AND NORMAL PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

not a racist wingnut comment: "the black race is made up of his type.. passed through grade after grade knowing nothing except a few "big" words and viola!!! they be "smart".."

nah... wingnuts aren't racists... Obama and the bad liberals are the real racists.

[Slide]

oh and by the way the post at 11:55 AM supposedly by Slide was not from me. I guess someone feels necessary to post under my name. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[xerocky]

Slide, what's the point of posting all of this shit from other sites? If you want to fight with stormfront, go troll there.
YOU used to be a cop, and now that you don't have to do that, you go around all day on the computer starting fights?
That's strangely disappointing.

Don’t to take those meds buddy!

[xerocky]

Sorry, dont' FORGET to take those meds. Is what it should have said.

[Slide]

when a liberal states his views strongly he is "starting fights". You guys just can't seem to handle being called on your lies and misinformation. It drives you nuts. Sorry, won't let you get away with spouting your wingnut nonsense without my commenting and debunking it. I dont' need any meds. I'm high on life (smile)

[the real Slide]

oh, so I am anti-Semitic? lol..... shows me how stupid you are to read that comment that way. What I was of course referring to was that some wingnut posted how the Democrats wre not only racist but anti-Semitic. I said that was silly looking at the HUGE majorities of blacks and Jews that voted for him. Of course your typical racist wingnut said well the blacks just voted for him because of what they can get from the Dem party. Silly I know but then i countered with the line you have repeated now a couple times.

"And the Jews? What insulting reason will you ascribe to them for voting for the anti-Semite Dems? hmmmm?"

you're seeing that as an anti-Semitic remark says more about your intelligence and reading comprehension than it does about me my friend. Nice try though. Again Wingnuts always accuse others of what they are guilty themselves. Hence all the Family Value adultureres that seem to populate your party. Dems are racists and anti-semitc.... Right.

[xerocky]

"I dont' need any meds. I'm high on life (smile)"

And just a little crack! Not much. Just a little.

[BogusDems]

Dems are racists and anti-semitc.... Right RIGHT!!

A "prominant" Harvard professor who says to an officer of the law yo mamma! and no one has the guts to call him out for being childish and unprofessional, not to mention undeserving of his status. If that does not scream racist affirmative action, I don't know what does. Harvard is supposed to be one of this country's best higher education institutions. What a laughinstock we must be to the world. The fact that being told the truth hurts your sensibilities shows that it is in the ballpark, people hate being told the truth. There are great African Americans out there, Condie Rice and Dr. William Cosby comes to mind, but they are shunned because they have the guts to tell the truth. The news even alluded to Condie being a house negro with big lips sitting on the front porch of the White House acting in typical negro slave fashion. I am sure that did not bother you and the fact that it does not shows massive racism on your part.

The anti semitism is that given the choice, Dems will vote for any policy that weakens Israel to the point that it cannot defend itself. It probably is not so much anti Jew as it is anti-democracy. Dems have a penchant for hating those who can think and provide for themselves. So, you beat yourself on the chest thinking you are correcting us on our lies and misinformtion. The fact that you fool yourself does not bug me, but it is rather sad.
