Obama blames "structural" flaw of Congress

[rightwinger]

"President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the “disadvantage” of having each state represented equally in the Senate."

He's complaining because the system is working as it's supposed to, to curb his power.


“Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage,” Mr. Obama said."

"The president also blamed “demographics” for the inability of the Democratic Party to gain more power in Congress, saying Democrats “tend to congregate a little more densely” in cities such as New York and Chicago. He said it gives Republicans disproportional clout in Congress."

Yup, progressive douchebags tend to cluster in a couple of large cities, and they think they should have the authority to dictate what everybody else spread out over the nation is allowed to do.

Too bad.

yeah coming from the same constitutional scholar that calls America

a constitutional democracy

since he brought it up

perhaps now would be a good time to start a repeal of the 17th amendment

Abolish the FEDERAL RESERVE, AND Repeal the 16th.

Repeal the 3rd and 19th

End term limits and elections! They stand in the way of what Obama and the rest of teh progressive loons want!

You think we've never had a GOP president facing a solidly Dem Congress?
We need to bring back election of senators by state legislatures. It would solve a lot of problems.

Yeah, if we let a small cadre of politically powerful men select US Senators in some back room deal instead of allowing the people to vote, we'll deserve the corruption we'll end up getting. But there's a reason why this idea appeals to conservatives. It's because it would increase the influence and the power of the small red states.

why on earth do we need two of the peoples houses

the senate was set up to protect the states interests

We the people want it that way

Next thing He will demand is that Congress lose the power to impeach and remove.

And he would if given the chance. Doesn't he a have a pen, a phone? Well by golly! That's all ANY tyrant needs.

Correct. The HOUSE was the people's voice. The SENATE was the State's voice. Progressives over 100 years ago screwed it up...and now thy reap the benefit.

That's OK...they keep pressing us? WE will exercise the Second, with relish.

The Senate was designed to prevent large states from destroying smaller ones. It was key to getting some of the smaller states to join the union. To try to render them toothless could mark the beginning of the end of union.

Of course this is par for the course for O, pontificating on absurd postulations that have no basis in reality.

Uh...does he think he would have better luck with proportional representation in the senate because that is doing him so much better in advancing his agenda in the House these days?

Wilson could pass constitutional amendments?

Only retards want to take the vote away from the people.......oh, I forgot

You are republican

O is the structural flaw.

Obama is right..but is wrong in the idea things need to be changed. The way it is now, the smaller states are protected from being over powered by the larger states.

If you guys felt like putting your partisan knee jerks aside, you would see what Obama is saying is no totally wrong....but it's Obama so hate on.

No this has been the opinion of the left for quite sometime. Again Obama isn't totally wrong here.

Grow up.

Thomas wants to shoot americans. ..just like a good terrorist.

He's not wrong that Congress is preventing him from enacting many things.
He is wrong that what he wants will benefit America in any way.

The northeast is a democrat congregation and they have elected democrats in the senate and the house. Basically, O is upset that he can't ram legislation through.
