Which founders in particular? Adams, who signed a law that made it a crime to say anything negative about congress or the president? Jefferson, who was accused by religious leaders of the time of being an atheist, and by the political opponents of trying to sell us out to the French? Marshall, who was the first Chief Justice to be accused of "legislating from the bench", even though he ruled against himself? Of course he also set up the Supreme Court as the chief arbiter of what the Constitution means.

People like to talk about how horrible things are today. People have been talking about how horrible things are ever since 1787. You need to read more of what those people actually wrote before you complain about what someone is doing now. Just because you don't like a particular leader doesn't mean he's wrong. I don't like Obama's politics either, but the country has survived worse. Ask anybody on the other side of Lincoln. Or Jefferson. Even Washington was accused of all sorts of evil by the newspapers of his own day. If you really think things are bad, do something about it. Get yourself into office and try to make a change.
