“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron.”  H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun,  July 26, 1920.

Reading the objections to the treaty listed in the letter, you would think the next step would be to charge anyone involved in signing it with treason.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

The State Department accepts under the customary international law of treaties that the U.S. is bound not to violate the “object and purpose” of a signed but unratified treaty.

Does the prick living in public housing at 1600 Pennsylvania know that being elected "Prez" isn't the same as "King"?

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

That is precedent for at least 50 years, nothing specific to BHO, but Kerry signing the Treaty was just a photo op right?
