Joe Biden apparently doesn’t understand his duties…

With the absence of Mr. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden is tooting his own horn about his part in the un-Constitutional bail out scams in which Goldman Sachs personnel have been given the reins in controlling which of their competitors are allowed to fail (Bear Stearns) and which of their debtors (AIG) are bailed out with tax dollars.
Mr. Biden is singing his own praises about the good that he has done in this scam while the realities set in that the economy would have recovered on its own, and that allowing the failure of poorly managed companies would have opened opportunity in the markets for smaller well managed companies.
Mr. Biden seems to forget this: “I, Joseph Biden, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Little he has done since he took office is toward the protection and preservation of our Constitution. The Constitution is a limitation on government power. What he, Mr. Obama, the Senate, and the House are doing is exactly the opposite. They are increasing the power, scope, and size of government – all of which can only be done with the sacrifice of individual liberty and wealth.
