Our President said back in 2008, talking about our Constituion, "The document reflects a fundametal flaw that continues to this day". Really? And what flaw would that be Mr. President? The fact that it protects our liberties and freedoms; the very thing you are trying to take from us.
Some may argue quote: "He was talking about how the US Constitution didn't give blacks the same securities and rights that whites enjoyed, and further more the consequences of this can be seen today." Well, if that is what you were refering to then I must humbly disagree Mr. President. In the Declaration of Independence it states:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."
Slavery was never part of the big picture with our founding fathers. It was men who instituted that horrible practice against the Constitution. You see President Obama the flaw isn't in this great document, the flaw is in the men chosen to uphold it. Men like you who the people elected to uphold our rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I would agree that many of the arguments/issues our founding father's dealt with are mute. In fact, today's issues are important but the people we have in the House, Senate, and Oval office are corrupt and are only out to benefit them and their constituants.
Wasn't it about 233 years ago some people got together and decided that the direction the government was taking them was in the opposite direction they wanted to go? I believe they packed up and left the country and sent a signed letter called the "Declaration of Independence". In this letter they stated a few things that brought them to the point of starting fresh...take out the formal English and this sounds like it could have been written yesterday;
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Like a frog sitting in a pot of slowly heating water…this has been going on for years. Hate to be negative but 20,000 or even a million people cannot stop a train under power…it takes the guys inside the engine to pull back on the throttle.
