Georgia, Florida Attorneys General Call For Smaller Government

By STEVEN WELCH

TAMPA, Fla. —In a joint speech Wednesday during the Republican National Convention, Attorneys General Sam Olens, of Georgia, and Pam Bondi, of Florida, outlined how they feel President Obama has unconstitutionally forced his policies into the lives of Americans.

“We know that the Constitution limits federal power, but President Obama clearly believes those limits just get in his way,” Olens said. “So he ignores them, time and again.”

Olens, the only member of the Georgia delegation invited to speak at the convention, stressed his belief that Obama has failed in his goal of creating more green jobs to help stimulate the economy, saying he “funnels tax dollars into campaign donors’ pockets.” Along with the lack of job creation, Olens also brought up the Fast and Furious scandal and how it has affected Obama’s administration.

“He promised to have the most transparent administration in history but now refuses to come clean with Congress and the American people about Fast and Furious,” Olens said.

Bondi used her opening remarks as a segway into both speakers’ beliefs in the failure of Obamacare, proclaiming it to be one of the ways the president is overstepping boundaries to create bigger government. Agreeing with Bondi, Olens echoed his earlier remarks that Obama’s plan went against the Constitution and would not be beneficial to the American people, so the Republicans tried to prevent it from going into effect.
