I have listed 67 reasons on a notepad at home.<\/p>\n<p>Let me make a distinction. It&#8217;s fair for people to oppose political opponents, even to despise them. I know the Commie Left can thrive wholly on a diet of pure hatred, with a side of venom. It&#8217;s fair to hate your opponent&#8217;s policies, and do your best within legal means to defeat them..  But it is not fair that based on your opposition, you declare the president &#8220;not your president.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if a president acts lawlessly and illegitimately, or if in word and deed he demonstrates hatred for America, or acts intentionally to do great harm to America, <strong>then it&#8217;s on like Donkey Kong<\/strong>.  He might be somebody else&#8217;s president. He is not mine. This jackass in the White House, this TOTUS-puppet vacation-smurfing, golf-ball-shanking skinny little freak, is not my president. Here is the fifth reason of 50.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>On January 3, 2011, While both Senate and House were holding pro forma sessions and by design, specifically NOT in recess, barack declared that he was using the recess-appointment authority to appoint 4 people to confirmation-required positions, 3 to the NLRB, and one to some board created by the Dodd-Frank bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am not going to go into the merits of recess appointments, the quality of the individuals in question, what exactly pro forma sessions are (or who started them and why). I am not going to dignify with a response the public statements made by WH Spokesman-Stooge Jay Carney, or WH Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer in defense of this outrageous, illegitimate, and blatantly unconstitutional move. They were laughable and predictable, and I&#8217;ll leave it at that. Ditto for the left-blogosphere and the Commie Media Front for the Democrat Party, aka Pravda, aka mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>I am sticking with the heart of the matter. The President of the United States is sworn into office with this oath:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution&#8230;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A president who took and believed that oath would never, ever make a recess &#8220;appointment&#8221; when the Senate was not in recess.  He would not even contemplate it. I would impeach this clown if I could. This stands alone and does not require any of the other 49 reasons he&#8217;s not my president. Boehner and company are unforgivably gutless cowards for letting this stand.<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unifiedpatriots.com\/2012\/02\/20\/not-my-president-part-5-of-50-non-recess-recess-appointments\/e_pluribus_unum\">X-Posted at UnifiedPatriots<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been chronicling 50 reasons why SCOAMF is not my president.
