Look; I’m as happy as the next guy who can’t stand Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton or the Sheriff John McCain. Barack seems to be kicking their butts at this moment and that’s a good thing. However; for years, my co-blogger, Michael Linn Jones and myself have been complaining and pointing out the fallacy of President Bush’s insistence upon claiming the unconstitutional title of “Commander-In-Chief of The American People“. He’s nothing of the sort.

He is no such thing, nor is there any such title under the United States Constitution. In fact, the president is, ultimately, commanded by HIS “Commanders-In-Chief”; We, The American People and he (or she, God forbid, in the case of Hillary), is the CIC of ONLY the U.S. military and its individual members. Any other arrangement and you’re living in a “Pakistan” or a “Cuba”; most certainly not REAL democracies by any stretch of the imagination. We already KNEW President Bush, Hillary Clinton and John McCain coveted the imaginary title of “CIC of The American People”, but I was QUITE dismayed to hear good ole’ “Mr. Change” Obama felt the same way.

Sadly, up to this point, I was beginning to believe Barack Obama was the only one of the three [ahem... "Front-Runner"] candidates left in the race for the Oval Office to understand we are not interested, nor are we Constitutionally ALLOWED to appoint a “King” or a “Queen” over the operations of our Government. Today, I’m not so sure. And it’s sad for me; sad because I was clinging to “hope” and a hope for a “change”.

Not good for the Senator “Puppet” from New York. On the other hand, not good for the American People either — that is, IF this Senator from Illinois TRULY does believe he is actually MY “Commander-In-Chief” and NOT my “public servant“, should he be LUCKY enough to win my vote. Should I choose to cast my vote for the man, or anybody else for that matter; it’s so they can follow MY orders; not the other way around. Is that message getting through loud and clear enough for you wannabe “CIC’s”?
