King Obama?

This man has absolutely no knowledge of the Constitution:

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama on Monday promised Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans help with their grievances - save one. "I know it drives you nuts. But I'm not going to lower the drinking age," the presidential candidate said.

Army veteran Ernest Johnson, 23, of Connecticut, said one of the things that peeved him before he turned 21 was that he couldn't come home and drink a beer - even though he was old enough to serve in the armed services and die for his country.

Obama told Johnson he sympathized, but that setting the legal drinking age at 21 had helped reduce drunken driving incidents and should remain.

Do I really have to remind the Senator of the Tenth Amendment?
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Just where in the Constitution is the power for the President of the United States to severally and/or otherwise dictate to states their respective legal drinking age?

Obama, just like every other liberal, looks at public office not as a public service, but as a seat of power over others. Forever placing themselves above their constituencies with their self-perceived superiority, not to mention their willingness to wield their will over the "little people" while giving themselves a pass is part and parcel of their genetic makeup.

Which is why every freedom-loving American must never be lulled by their empty-suited promises, and should ever be on-guard when and if these intellectually-challenged bozos gain power.

To Obama and other libs, the Constitution is merely a quaint piece of paper scribbled on by some dead white guys.

They didn't really mean that.
