There’s a reason why Obama’s people keep him away from press conferences. Once he starts getting asked a few tough questions, the illusion that his people try to construct through their talking points of a caring leader who wants bipartisan support to help people, begins to collapse, and the underlying arrogant man seeps through. We can skip over Obama cynically blaming Congress as an entity for a law that he and his allies rammed through, and portions of which he decided to suspend on a whim. Obama is being asked, reasonably enough, if he got a legal opinion. His response makes it clear that not only did he not get a legal opinion, but he thinks that a legal opinion is superfluous and if anyone in Congress thinks otherwise, they don’t matter, because they’re not lawyers. The arrogance stems from the fact that Justice Roberts blinked over Obamacare and approved the most blatantly illegal and unconstitutional power grab since the FDR days, giving Obama the confidence he needs to do whatever he likes. Obama never really paid attention to legal opinions before either. The legal opinions told him he couldn’t invade Libya. He laughed them off and got away with it. And so we have a man who at times seems borderline illiterate declaring his unilateral power to ignore the law because he’s a Constitutional lawyer.
