For those of you who voted for our next President today, I have a favor to ask.
Spread the wealth around!
I am an unemployed law student. So, why not each send me a paltry $5?
It's time for change! Your spare change! Sent to me!
In the meantime, a quote from James Madison, the Father of our Constitution, who clarified the authority of the federal government in the Federalist Papers #45:
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."
I think it would serve our leaders and electorate well to read the Constitution.

Leo, I'm really surprised to see you take a soundbite and react like a TV pundit. I'm a little disappointed. Can we see some substantive crititique of proposed policies, instead?
Good idea.
I wanted to get short distinct point across with this post, though. Be prepared to sacrifice willingly if you cast your vote for Obama.
I'll go through Obama's plans and show how they are almost certainly unconstitutional, next.
