What did the preamble mean by secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and your posterity?
The preamble to the United States Constitution says "...to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and ourposterity...""The blessings of liberty" that the writers of the Constitution were talking about are the rights that they had just fought for in the American Revolution, to be free of tyranny, to have the right to be governed by officials they elected themselves rather than by a King and the officials he chose, and in particular the right not to be taxed without having the opportunity to vote on it ("no taxation without representation"). By "secure" them "to ourselves and our Posterity", the writers meant that they wanted these liberties not only for themselves, but to keep them safe for future generations.Other rights like freedom of speech and religion were added to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights, after the Preamble was written.

What has Barack Obama done to secure the blessings of liberty?
The Preamble to the Constitution says that one of the reasons for this document is to "secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity." President Obama has defended the rights in the Bill of Rights, and the various other freedoms we are guaranteed as Americans. But some people who disagree with President Obama's policies (especially his views on social issues like marriage equality or his desire to reform some of our gun laws) claim that he is violating the Constitution, when in fact, he is not. Part of what congress does involves creating and passing laws, which are then signed by the president; the president also has the power to issue executive orders, and many presidents have done so. Of course, not every American agrees with every law, and in our past, some laws did indeed infringe upon liberty (segregation, denying women the right to vote, etc). However, even though there have been intense political disagreements between Republicans and Democrats, President Obama (who is a former attorney and also spent 12 years teaching Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago) has great respect for the Constitution. He has continued to defend it during his time in office; and by doing so, he helps to "secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity."
