WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said The U.S. Constitution is out-of-date, so he is ripping it up and writing a new one.
President Barack Obama told reporters last night that the U.S. Constitution has become a hindrance to progress in America. “The document is so out-dated, that it is now becoming a hindrance to governing the country.”
Obama said that he has signed an Executive Order voiding the U.S. Constitution. “We need to move forward. We need change.”
Obama said he has already drafted a new constitution and that Americans “will love what I came up with.” Insiders say that Obama is keeping a lot of old elements from the original constitution “he’s just making it better, bringing it into the 21st century,” said White House Spokesman, Jay Carney.
Many Democrats said that President Obama was a constitutional scholar and probably the only President – since the Founding Fathers – who is qualified to change the Constitution.
“President Obama knows more about the Constitution than any man who has ever lived,” said Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi. “It’s about time we changed that document and we are lucky to have President Obama to do it.”
Republicans, of course, were outraged that Obama would even consider changing the constitution, and they vowed to fight. “We will fight this to the bitter end,” said Speaker of the House, John Boehner, “there’s no way we are going to let the Constitution of the United States be altered even a little bit. If there are changes to be made to the Constitution it should be done the appropriate way – through amendments and we think Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor are the ones to make any changes.”
Insiders say the new Constitution will look a lot like the constitutions of Kenya, France and Soviet Russia.
There are many, many changes in the New U.S. Constitution, but here are a few of the highlights.
1) SUPREME COURT – Will now have 11 members, which reflects the growing U.S. population. President Obama will appoint two new members immediately. The President can name a new justice without needing the approval of Congress.
2) EXECUTIVE FINANCIAL POWER – The President will have the power to unilaterally enact any financial policy he chooses, without approval of Congress. He must inform them, but they will not “stop” him (or her) from promoting their agenda.
3) LOBBYISTS – They will now be outlawed. There will be no more lobbyists in Washington. However, there are some exemptions outlined in the New Constitution” : Trial Lawyers, National Education Association and unions. They will all be able to lobby.
4) REPRESENTATION – California, New York and Illinois will double the number of representatives in Congress – permanently. “The President feels that the smartest people in the country live in these states, so they should be over-represented,” said Jay Carney.
5) GUNS & RELIGION – Both will be banned in the United States.

This is so full of baloney it would be laughable were it not for the fact conservatives will believe it. They will swallow this crock hook, line, and sinker. Then they will tell all their friends who will make no effort to determine the veracity of this manufactured pile of manure. Even some of the folks posting here are taking this as factual. Where do people this incompetent come from?
I won't even begin to explain why this is a total falsehood on every level. Anyone that knows anything about the US Government will instantly recognize this as a total fraud. There will be no way to convince the conservatives how much of a crock this story is. They will repeat it and post it as though it is a factual story. They will do this because they are authoritarian people. That means they are not inclined to think for themselves. They prefer ignorance to facts and wish everyone else was as ignorant as they. The closest they will come to making an attempt to ferret out the truth will be to ask one of their friends because conservatives go to others in their group for support. They cannot function without someone else telling them what to think, say, and do. They are the folks that scream 'freedom' the loudest yet cannot find someone to abdicate their freedom to fast enough. The most contradictory aspect of their world is they know less about what they oppose than they know about what they support. They will memorize a few bumper stickers and become totally devoted to the cause. A cause they neither understand nor question.
This is probably praised by the same people that still claim President Obama's birth certificate if a fake. Another example of right-wing propaganda and fear mongering. The FBI, CIA, NSA, Military Intelligence, and a host of other agencies are fooled by this 'fake' birth certificate yet some hillbilly living in OK, with a sixth grade education, using nothing more than his internet connection has uncovered proof that the President was born in a foreign country.
Give me a break!
