I am astounded at the number of people that appauld, rather than show concern, for this Chavez-esque move by Obama, something that he has done repeatedly in the past and will clearly do in the future. Given that second terms leave plenty of room for ignoring accountability this ego-centric artful dodger is going to eat all of our lunches if he is re-elected.

I am afraid that the criticism of our failing education system has taken root because far too many voters fail to comprehend or recognize abuses by the government and this Administration in particular of ignoring the Constitution and our loss of freedoms. The government role should be to educate and advise but the people should decide. Perhaps there is gridlock in Congress but then perhaps some of those issues need to be tabled, perhaps not. However, I would prefer a slow moving Congress rather than these assaults on our constitution by Obama.
