Presidential Duties.

President Bush has repeatedly said that the first job of the president is to defend the United States.

Now many of the presidential candidates are repeating that statement. They are all wrong.

The first job of our president is to support and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States of America.

In final analysis the nation of the United States is not as important as its constitution is. There are lots of other nations but there is only one constitution of the United States. And if that goes the way of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib then it is all lost.

If we lose our constitution, it will not come back again. It is our child now, our responsibility, all of us. The president's job is to help lead us in this task. When we scrap it to defend the nation, we are giving away our birthright.
