Responsibility of the President

Several weeks ago, I went to whitehouse.gov and dashed off a quick note to the President asking to reconsider his support for the indefinite detention of American citizens. This evening, I got a form-letter response in which his handlers presented a formulaic response, which included this statement:

As Commander in Chief, I have no greater responsibility than keeping the American people safe.

Really? Let's review the Oath of the President which I think sums up the issue quite succinctly:

I, Barack Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Please, Mr. President. Don't just seek to protect us, like children, from harm while stripping our supposedly inalienable rights. Protect our Freedom as your oath calls upon you to do. Please don't sign the NDAA.
