Thank you for your concern. It does my heart such good to know you are watching out for me in your short time here at DU.

Alas, I feel no discomfort from the truth. As I pointed out, the truth is Barack Obama is obligated to enforce the laws and is not obligated to defend them in court when he considers them unconstitutional. That's the truth.
