President not upholding his oath

President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this country. You don't pick or choose which laws you will obey or not. For example, DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act. They took an oath to defend all laws whether you agree or disagree with the laws. This goes for all the attorney generals in all the state governments across our land. What does this say to our children if we won't obey or defend our laws?
Also, at this fall's election, remember that no Republican voted for Obamacare. Now, there is the IRS scandal. The IRS lost the emails that Congress wanted. Almost like the missing minutes on the Nixon tapes. Pulling out troops in Iraq and not leaving some troops behind has turned into a disaster for the Obama administration.
What angers me the most is the silence that comes from the media. If this were a Republican president, the media would be all over this.
