- Go to Obama says constitution has fundamental flaw?
What? Where? When? Why?
So, um, was this stated in some sort of context? Because there s no context here. None. All it says is that there was a "blind spot" in the Constitution and the thinking of the Founders. I could speculate on the blind spot, but I'd rather know what Senator Obama was actually talking about. Is that ever made clear?

slavery
Why would Obama be talking about slavery? How is slavery relevant to our times?
In regards to Herr Bush ( so f-ing stupid) how has your freedom been in anyway diminshed since Bush has been in office?

I see what he's talking about even if you don't -- Abraham Lincoln saw it.
The Constituion originally didn't outlaw or even address Slavery.
And Mr. Obama is not the only one. This has been in Political Science textbooks for decades -- and it is admitted and declared throughout political circles.
It is almost universally known.
So how come you con't know it -- or are you accepting this few second statement out of context which it certainly is -- I would imagine that the issue of slavery came up.
But conservatives seem to want to make it seem like something else --that Mr. Obama is wanting to tear down the Constitution, which certainly is not the story.
But of course you support Herr Bush, whose administration has virtually destroyed individual freedoms and rights afforded by both the Constitution and International Law.
