More specifically, like the Republicans and Democrats who expand the size of the Federal Government by spending more and more of the people's money. No doubt that their intentions are good. They want to "promote the general welfare." But they seem to believe that such promotion must, more and more, be done by the Federall Gvt. and less by the people and their local governments. Such welfare was not intended by the Constitution, and is well beyond the welfare that the central gvt. could provide through its enumerated powers, and welfare that must be provided to all in general, not specifically to some and not to others.

Yes, Obama is acting like those politicians of either party who see an overaching central government as the answer to our "problems." And they have no qualms about overfeeding it, because its overvalued importance to the well being of the people (and their own re-election) makes it too big to fail.
