The Patriot Post® · 'A Rising Insurrection Against Obama'

Washington Post opinion writer Colbert I. King has discovered what he thinks might be called “insurrection” around the nation. “This country has drifted far beyond the rough-and-tumble give-and-take that historically occurs between the parties. It’s one thing to oppose the president’s policies. It’s quite another to refuse to acknowledge presidential authority,” he writes. “That’s what we are witnessing in the Arizona House. That’s what we also saw with the 47 Republican senators who wrote to the Iranian government, warning that Obama is seeking a nuclear agreement that won’t last beyond his administration.” Arizona is working to undo some of Barack Obama’s damage on immigration, couched as a check on his abuse of power. King, of course, ignores Obama’s role in this – his refusal to acknowledge the limits of presidential authority – and, not surprisingly, he has a much different take on the virtues of the “rebellion.” After all, how dare states like Arizona not bow to the king?
