I’m not advocating for secession now; I’m just looking at the possibility with a little more interest. How such a move might shift our ‘government’ back to position where Representatives actually have to listen to and respect their constituents is a question that interests me.

OK, perhaps the president did not use those exact words, but that is the essence of what our terrorist-coddling, PC addicted ditherer said.
Obama’s Past Due Epiphany on Federal DebtBy John Lillpop
Consistent with his governing philosophy of accepting responsibility for nothing, President Obama is speaking out against soaring deficits as though he were an innocent bystander as reckless spending pushes America to the brink of being a third-world, failed state.
