Economy to Obama: "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!"

Nearly every time I hear President Obama speak he says that there is a huge emergency that we have to fix as soon as possible. We are in a crisis, yes, but we still have the Constitution. It demands that congress deliberate about sensible bills and come to conclusions that are reasonable instead of passing a 787 billion dollar stimulus bill without reading it first, nationalizing huge companies, and destroying our health system through a government takeover. We can't let the Democrats push through a series of unconsidered and haphazard legislation because they don't want to waste this crisis/opportunity.
Additionally, many of the things they are doing or proposing are unconstitutional. Buying car companies, running health care, mandating that people get health insurance. I never saw that in the Constitution. I don't even hear anyone asking if what they are doing is constitutional. We need to start asking that.
