Obama: ‘A President Doesn’t Get To Decide on His Own Who Is an American Citizen and Who Is Not’

‘That’s not how the Constitution of the United States works’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

OBAMA: “I am assuming that they recognize that a president doesn’t get to decide on his own who is an American citizen and who is not. That’s not how the Constitution of the United States works. That’s not how the bill of rights works. That’s not how our democracy works. People who think it is wrong to spend eight years trying to take away people’s health care and then spend the final days pretending you’re mother Teresa, they’re Florence nightingale. I am assuming people must get upset when they see folks who spend all of their time vilifying others, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people, and then suddenly pretending they’re concerned about civility.”
