Obama and most politicians are full of deception. Obama talked about 60 million that died in WW2. OK. Think about this. If WW1 and WW2 had never happened, the over 18 million deaths from WW1 that Wikipedia suggests - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties - would never have happened. This means that populations would have grown that much more. And if Obama's 60 million hadn't died, there would have been way more to grow and populate. Here is where Obama's picture is messed up. All these people would have died of old age anyway. Forget Obama. His ideals are pointing people in the direction of stupidity thinking. He is not showing the whole picture. If there were no WW1 and WW2 casualties, there would have been way more people who would have worked on anti-aging, and we might all be living to age 200 by now. Obama's talk is deceptive talk.

There is no comparison between Germany and the U.S. in the way that Obama is talking. Why not? Because there is little to no common law in the government of Germany.

What is common law? In its simplest form CL is the law that the people use between and among themselves in everyday life. It isn't governmental statue or code law. Wikipedia says it well - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law - when they say: "Common law (also known as judicial precedent or judge-made law, or case law) is that body of law derived from judicial decisions of courts and similar tribunals." Why is it said well in this quote? Because the "similar tribunals" can include non-governmental "courts" as well as those set up and administered by Government.

The danger in America is that we the people forget that we can overturn statute and code law through jury nullification. Jury nullification can overturn and overrule any statute or code law in America. This is something that Germany doesn’t have. They have no jury nullification. The German jury has to make their JUDGMENTS according to statute law.

Here is the part where Obama may have been a little correct. If the American jury doesn’t pick up and use their ability to change or remove statute law, what’s the difference? There might be none. But before you can use something, you have to know that it exists, and how to force it into play.
