I recently wrote what I had hoped was a satirical article, poking fun at the fact President Obama could not feasibly have read all the legislation he has signed into law, centering on the on the mammoth 2,700 page Healthcare Reform Bill. And although some people appreciated the article, a couple of readers did not.

In the beginning we were British. Washington and our other founders liked a lot of British things, but they didn’t trust the autocracy. For this reason they began a search for something better. They tried a polyglot system called the Articles of Confederation. When that failed, they tried our current Federal Government. The denominator, between these two systems, is fear of autocracy. Our founders didn’t want a king or a tyrant.

Move forward 2 1/2 centuries. Mr. Obama has asked the Congress to deliver a Health Care bill for him to sign. The operative points here are:

• The President asked them to do it
• They are doing it
• He will approve whatever it is, when they get it to his desk. This badly violates the Constitution.
