Finally Someone Is Talking About Obama’s Imperial Presidency

[coolwalker]

Many conservative writers like myself, have been commenting on Obama’s continual abuse of power by using executive orders to illegally bypass Congress. He acts as if he is above the law like an imperial monarch. In fact, I predict if he wins re-election in two weeks that he will become an imperial dictator and free America will be no more.
Virtually none of the mainstream media have reported on this, but that’s expected since they’re in bed with the Obama and his liberal entourage to begin with. What is so frustrating is that many conservatives have ignored or refused to say anything about Obama’s imperial ways, but that just may be changing.

This op ed goes after the king:
With Obama, we have now entered into a fourth constitution, one of strong presidential government, in which the president has slipped off many of the constraints of the third constitution’s separation of powers. He makes and unmakes laws without the consent of Congress and spends billions to reward his friends. His power exceeds that of any American ruler since the Revolution. He is rex quondam, rex futurus—the once and future king.

And the media:
ONE MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED the media to take notice of the expansion of presidential power under Obama. With far less cause, they were quick to decry the “imperial presidency” of George W. Bush. Now, however, the earnest republicans in the media and the Democrats have discovered the joys of monarchism. They move seamlessly from the party to the media (George Stephanopoulos, Chris Matthews), from the White House to a lucrative consultancy job (David Axelrod), from the Justice Department to a $4-million-a-year job at Fannie Mae (Jamie Gorelick). They are the pampered fops at the feet of the king, presidential courtiers who will not have to wait for the next world to see their loyalty rewarded. Their motto is “We look after our own!”

You know the truly scary thing to me is if we were attacked or had to declare war what extremes would this admin go to to keep us in the dark as they have done all through their "transparent" admin, a real headshaker.
