   Hello Everybody,   
      
   "As President, I have often said that I have no greater   
   responsibility than protecting the American people."   
   ~ President Barack Obama, 2011   
      
   Is he right? Is protecting the American people the greatest   
   responsibility a POTUS has? He should know, having served for   
   eight years as POTUS himself.   
      
   What does the US Constitution say? Barack Obama knows a lot   
   about the US Constitution. Used to teach it, back in the day.   
   Before he became POTUS.   
      
   The presidential oath of office that is prescribed by the   
   US Constitution (Article II, Section 1) makes it crystal clear.   
   The President's supreme responsibility is to "... preserve,   
   protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."   
      
   Not one mention of public safety.   
      
   Seems the Framers of the Constitution forgot all about that part.   
      
   But hey. Trumpers know this is all fake news presented by   
   the news media, which adores the former president (and his   
   lady). Never a kind word will they say or write about the   
   orange menace that occupies the White House today ...
