Two credibility-stretching stories making headlines today.

A few points to ponder:

1. Obama and his reckless administration (which includes House members Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and others) knew about the AIG bonuses long before they expressed phony indignation over them. Chris Dodd recently admitted he was behind the bonus wording in the bailout bill (which, by the way, was rammed through the House by Speaker Pelosi before anyone had a chance to read it), allegedly at the behest of someone (as yet unnamed) in Obama’s administration who requested the wording in the bill.

2. Obama and his reckless administration seized the political opportunity to egg on the public, turning people against AIG executives — to the point where demonstrators showed up at the homes of these executives to harass them.

3. Now Obama wants to be the savior, stepping in to calm down the masses. Seems a little hypocritical to me.

4. Is it me, or is Obama depicted as The Madonna in that accompanying photo? I supposed he’d have to be anointed to put a halt to the anger and violence he and his team stirred up against AIG. But this picture seems a little over the top.

Head-scratcher question for the day: How many Constitution-busting behaviors will we allow this administration to get away with before we flood their offices with phone calls, faxes, and e-mails — or vote them out of office?

Bonus question: What good is our Constitution if nobody in Washington abides by it?
