Skip wrote a post here rearding Obama’s ‘Kick Ass’ moment. As I began typing my ‘comment’ it began to grow into something to long for the format. So here it is.
Obama can’t do that exactly, but he already has made the chess moves that in a weaker country would have put him a lot closer to Chavez than he’ll ever manage in the US. But he simply needs to get close and let the Bureaucracy be the "president for life" and the rest will come later.
This should chill American people as its own congress is allowing it’s authority to be usurped by the Executive. But then they have no problem with it as along as it’s their agenda, but this just shows how short sighted liberals really are. A Republican President with that much power is no less dangerous, which is why the next congress needs to use the one power it will still have after November–the power of the purse.
The next Congress must remove the Executive slush funds-all of them. They must use the budget to de-fund all the czars and the shadow cabinet officers out of existance. It must de-fund Obamacare and strip the cabinet department budgets to the bone. (while cutting a few entirely to zero). And it must do this, not just because of Obama, but because no future president of eany party should be allowed to continue the decades long accumulation of power in the White House.
