More on President Obama's gaffe. Some would say it was his most serious gaffe of the evening in a speech filled with inaccuracies.

Obama's scolding of the Supreme Court does, however, fit his liberal-progressive-socialist beliefs and was an almost childish outburst caused, no doubt by his having had two serious reversals in the past couple of weeks.

The first, the election of Scott Brown, a Republican, to a seat that was considered totally safe makes me feel that the ghosts of our Forefathers--you know them: Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, et al.--went to Massachusetts and campaigned in the minds of the citizens there. In reality, it was the old adage from Abraham Lincoln that actually ruled the day: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. And that's what happened in Massachusetts. The people were no longer fooled.

The second, which also had to come as a shock to the liberal-progressive-socialist now occupying the White House, was the Supreme Court overturning the McCain-Feingold campaign finance act. Obama's antipathy to the ruling is best explained by his view that the Constitution of the United States is flawed in that it tells the federal government what it cannot do rather than what it must do. As a liberal-progressive-socialist, Obama is imbued not with a true love of individual liberty, even though he will espouse that in meaningless speeches, but with a love of big, overriding government control. In McCain-Feingold the Supreme Court did exactly what President Obama abhors: It told the Federal Government "No. You can't do that." It fulfilled it's role in the Constitution as a protector of the liberties by negatively responding to a breech by the Federal Government of the 1st Amendment.

Justice Samuel Alito's mouthing of "not true" to the President's allegation that the Court had erred in changing a "century" of law was the reaction, I am sure, of all who are cognizant of history. Even the most dense of the pundits watching should have realized immediately that neither Senator McCain or Senator Feingold were in office a century ago nor did the ruling allow foreign corporations to participate our elections; therefore, the President's statement was, on its' face, a misrepresentation and a lie. And that is something that this President seems to do most consistently and all too easily.
