Barack Obama could potentially be even scarier as a presidential candidate than Hillary Clinton. The man continues to push for unconstitutional spending … but hey when has whether or not Congress actually had the power to spend money on specific programs mattered to the left?

Obama urges speed in New Orleans aid

AP. NEW ORLEANS - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama toured hurricane-scarred New Orleans on Monday after criticizing the White House for the slow pace of recovery from storms that hit the Gulf Coast almost a year and a half ago.

The challenge continues to anyone that wants to take it up. Where in Article I is Congress granted the power to tax and spend for “disaster relief”? Remember, the entire argument FOR the Constitution put forth by the Federalists who wrote and supported it was that the powers with regard to spending were clearly limited and strictly defined (see Federalist 41). So before you try the open ended definition of “general Welfare” argument just keep that in mind.

Seems like the leftists always clam up when I ask this question. But they are more than happy to defend communists when I talk about Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro!
