I think we've got the President of lying under oath.

[MissMillie]

"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."


Can't "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" and dismantle it simultaneously.

1. or call it a "G-d damn piece of paper" either.

:grr: bastard....INDICT HIS ASS!

[displacedtexan]

2. His out...

"to the best of my ability."

[rock]

8. He is doing the very best that he can.

[Straight Shooter]

3. His oath doesn't say anything about "protecting the American people."

That is what he's basing his defense on, that he's protecting us. Reminds me of the kind of father who molests his daughter to teach her that boys are bad. Very warped mentality. "I'm only doing this for your own good."

[Norquist Nemesis]

4. Lowered expectations

"to the best of my ability" which ain't sayin' much.

[thecrow]

5. I will faithfully execute the office of President .....

He IS executing it.
Unfortunately he may think that EXECUTE means the same thing he did as governor of Texas.

6. After Vietnam you should have learnt

sometimes you have to destroy things in order to save them.

7. Every time he opens his mouth

he lies, he's done it for years and nobodies got him yet. However, I have very deep faith in the law of kharma, and it's going to bite this son of a bitchdog hard.
