#7 Whatadeal: Gaius Julius Caesar was a much, much better military leader. Octavian (Caesar Augustus) was a much, much better politician.

Bambi is neither. He's no Caesar.

#9 I'm still trying to figure what article of the Constitution covers summer jobs programs.

#10 I'm still trying to figure out what part of Article II authorizes the executive branch to do anything other than execute laws duly enacted by the legislature. That would fall under Article I, and summer jobs programs aren't in there either.

Leftards frequently cite the "provide for the general welfare" clause (Art. I, Sec. 8), as if "welfare" had the same informal, colloquial meaning 200+ years ago that it has now. Further, the grant of authority is to Congress, not the executive, to "provide for the common defense and the general welfare of the United States."

Same leftards scream about the clause counting slaves as 3/5 of a person for census and representation purposes (Art. I, Sec. 2) , despite that it is an undisputed historical fact that Yankee "liberals" were responsible for this, since counting blacks (mostly in the South) as whole persons would have diluted Northern influence in Congress.

The Constitution is shorter than the operating manual for my new vacuum cleaner (and written with greater clarity). Seems to me the extent of BHO's "constitutional law expertise" was to skim over it once and decide it was stupid.

There is no competition. The illegal immigrants get the jobs. White kids need not apply.

#12 If this is the standard bearer for Harvard Constitutional Law, Harvard looks like a sub-par university.

#13 I read somewhere that most of the jobs will be unpaid internships, which is how the president can afford it without a disbursement by Congress.

#14 ..unpaid internships

Unpaid for labor expended. There are other words for that kind of ~~exploitation~~ work. Hey, it's OK as long as the Donks do it. They at least have a history of that sort of thing.

Obviously, the party of slavery continues apace....

#16 Caesar actually simplified the Roman tax system, paid down the debt, brought order to fragmenting provinces and gave Roman rights to millions that were denied basic freedoms. Tyrant, oh yes he was. But he really did do it for the good of the Empire.

Bambi... he is working as hard as he can to bring a strong nation to a crumbling state and reduce the population to serfs. Complete polar opposite of Caesar.
