Does Barack HUSSEIN Obama understand the First Amendment (to the UNITED STATES Constitution)???

Question

Barack HUSSEIN Obama is currently demanding that John Tanner, the head of the Justice Department's Voting Rights Division be fired because he made a statement with which Barack Hussein disagrees.

Specifically, Mr. Tanner cited a Justice Department study that disproved the Liberal myth that requiring voters to present some form of valid ID would somehow disadvantage 'minority voters' (the real reason the Left opposes laws requiring voters to present valid ID's is because they realize that, without voter fraud, they can't win elections).

After presenting the results of the study, Mr. Tanner commented that the only group that was found to be disadvantaged by these laws were the elderly and that, since Caucasians generally live longer, if anything, more Caucasians would be disadvantaged by such a law.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Mr. Tanner’s conclusions, his observations were based on a valid study and were well reasoned.

By demanding that Mr. Tanner be fired merely because of a well justified comment he made, Barack HUSSEIN Obama seems to demonstrate that he lacks even the most basic understanding of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the UNITED STATES, specifically the clause protecting the right of US citizens to engage in free speech (without the worry of being eliminated [from their job] by Barack HUSSEIN).

Now, considering how Barak Hussein was born outside this country, how he believes that the will of unelected judicial tyrants should reign above our Constitution, and how he believes that the ‘international farce (law)’ of the corrupt UN should supersede the US Constitution, its understandable to see why Barack HUSSEIN might have neglected to study the Constitution of the United States.

I’m just wondering how Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s supporters could support this mans presidential ambitions when he lacks even the most rudimentary understanding of the US Constitution (You are aware that, if he were actually elected president, you do realize that Barack HUSSEIN would have to make a nominal attempt to follow the Constitution, right???)???

Answer 1

Lean closer to the screen......closer....

Liberals think freedom of speech only applies to them.....especially when they are bashing the two big C's....Christianity and Conservatism...

You could list a thousand examples just like the one you did.....and they would still deny it existence...

Oh, and where was the big bad bear, when that democratic nimrod, said that Bush was having our soldiers head blown off for his amusement....

They are so freaking selective.

Answer 2

I agree! I had 3 questions removed last night minutes after I closed the questions by picking the best answer. I appealed them because they were all questions and the reason for the violation said not a question. They still said they were in violation. I know for a fact that they weren't. I plan to fight this. I think everyone that is having this problem should also fight it. What ever happened to free speech? Yahoo seems to be biased for BO.

Answer 3

Free Speech rights do not include the right to speak FOR YOUR EMPLOYER. Mr Tanners comments were made as a representative of the Justice Department. The Justice Department has the right to terminate Mr. Tanner if his comments are not in keeping with the official position of the DoJ.

That being said, the statistics from the Center of Disease Control (CDC) does not back up his statement. The differences in life span between black and white are very small. You can look here: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus06.pdf#027

Answer 4

With all due respect, you should perhaps read the constitution.

You said, "he lacks even the most basic understanding of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the UNITED STATES, specifically the clause protecting the right of US citizens to engage in free speech (without the worry of being eliminated [from their job] by Barack HUSSEIN)."

Actually the 1st amendment doesn't protect you from being fired from your job. A company for example may fire you for speaking out against them or for making racist comments. The first amendment only protects you from punishement (jail) from the federal government (the 14th amendment makes it applies to the state government).

Answer 5

Sir, you're mistaken. The first amendment doesn't mean that people can say anything they want, free from responsibility for their words. The first amendment states that the government cannot pass a law limiting speech. If your job is to speak on behalf or a company or organization, and you do your job poorly, the first amendment will not protect you from being fired. It will protect you from being jailed.

Answer 6

Let me guess, you're not a fan of Obama?

First of all, he was born in Hawaii and is a United States citizen. Last I heard, Hawaii was still a part of the United States. If that is incorrect, please let me know. I haven't been in a geography class for a long time.

The fact that you draw attention to his middle name shows a bit of intolerance on your part, don't you think? A bit of stereotyping? His last name was passed down to him from two previous generations - long before Saddam was born.

How do you respond to Don Imus's statement, or the Nobel prize-winning scientist who is getting some serious repercussions for his statement, or for the Grey's Anatomy actor being fired for his slurs? Are these acceptable punishments for these men? Taking politics out of the equation, do you feel Tanner should be fired for making racially hurtful comments?

Answer 7

The standard democrat party policy is to only allow free speech when it agrees with their opinion....any dissenting views must be silenced lest the truth be known

Answer 8

Do you have an issue with this guys middle name. Just cause it happens to be Hussein doesn't mean anything. It is pretty weak that your best argument against him is you think his name is evil. Also your argument for voter ID is weak too. Do you want more federal regulation and fees? That is what we would get if we had a federal voting registration. I thought you fear mongers were agains big government. Get your story straight.

Answer 9

I think you totally misunderstood the different points that both Tanner and Obama were trying to make. Maybe you better go back and read it closer before you embarass yourself any more by frothing at the mouth over someone's middle name.

Answer 10

I don't think you understand free speech. Obama has every right to demand whatever he wants. His demand is protected by the first amendment.
