Uphold oath of office

I wonder how President Obama really felt while he was trying to comfort Arizonians after the Tuscon tragedy? He has filed a lawsuit against the people of Arizona because they decided they had to protect themselves from the invasion and destruction by illegals -- a job our president took an oath to do but would not do.

Then he had the nerve to call the U.N. and request that they send observers to Arizona to see that their election was fair.

How many insults and how much humiliation must a citizenry endure from its president? Is this a president that can be trusted and respected?

He promised us he would fundamentally change our government -- from freedom to a socialist tyranny? That's the way we are going.

Since he cannot "let a crisis go to waste," his schemers are already planning to exploit the Tuscon tragedy to further restrict our freedom of speech and of the press as well as our right to protect ourselves from tyranny.

Isn't it ironic that while our leaders are forcing socialism on us, socialist countries are trying to get their freedom restored? Recently, Fidel Castro said, "Socialism does not work!"

We as citizens have the responsibility to see that our elected officials are upholding their oath of office. And if they fail, we must see that they are removed from their office, or we can expect tyranny to rule!
