Misleading? Not at all. He does thank ATS for the distraction.

I disagree with everything about this thread - both title and content. To begin with, the first four sentences make no sense at all. Obama has not won ATS. I think somebody had too much coffee this morning. Without getting into executive orders and all that, the President of the United States is responsible for the direction the country is heading in - period. Naturally, whatever he says or does needs to go through the proper channels. I think the OP forgets that Congress or any other branch of government can't appropriate money or sign treaties without the President of the United States approving it. He has the ultimate veto power. To say that he is powerless is absurd. Nobody in government has more power than the President. It's been a long time since I've heard such nonsense. This is a very weak attempt at trying to reveal "special" laws regarding the highest office in the land that are supposed to bring oohs and aaahs. Well this topic has crashed and burned as far as I'm concerned.

Congress, The past administration and the courts have all betrayed us and the constitution. This guy has only been in office for a few months and all the problems we face are problems he did not create. Our Constitution has been eroded bit by bit. The real damage has been since the Reagan era, but there has been a effort to weaken the constitution since the beginning.
Don't blame Obama blame yourself! We have all allowed this to happen.

There have been countless threads stating that Obama has given over the country's soverignty, etc. to different world agencies. This is EXACTLY what he wants you to believe because if you believe he has that authority then he has deflected where the real blame should be laid - the Congress - and he has increased his power over YOU. He has stated many times that he will take responsibility for all of this - this is because he wants us to think that the responsibility is his to take.

Okay from everything I have read here at ATS...we all should have voted for McCain and Palin right?
I mean, that was the other choice.
For eight years all I heard was "Bush is evil!"
Then "If we vote for McCain, Palin is a heartbeat from the Presidency!"
Now "Obama is a puppet!"
Between McCain and Obama, just who was the lesser of two evils?
Or were we just doomed from the get go?

Quoted, only to bring it into focus, as the statement was kinda buried, and for the reading challenged, as myself, it might have been missed.
You said it before I could.
With this congress, it seems that whatever BHO wants, BHO gets. I dare say, congress will get what they want, as well.
