"Obama is creating a system of government that is beginning to look much like an Administrator form of government that will ultimately have no checks and balances, and little need for legislators.
This form of government was the fantasy of Colonel Edward Mandell House, the alter-ego of President Woodrow Wilson, a designer of the League of Nations, and author of Philip Dru: Administrator.
House fantasized about a system of government in which a single administrator held all executive power to appoint underlings without interference from elected bodies, and to design, and enforce, rules of behavior for individuals, and organizations including states and local administrative units. In Houses world, his administrator was a part of a global system of administrative governance whose purpose was to pursue socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx.
"Obamas actions during these first few months are very much like those of Philip Dru: Administrator. He has found a way to design, and enforce, rules of behavior on much of the banking system, and on General Motors and Chrysler private industries not subject to governmental management under previous presidents.
Obama has found a way to force state and local governments to yield to his rules in order to get federal dollars, even when states dont want the dollars that come with federal strings attached.
Obama is creating a new form of government with a growing network of Czars that do not have to be approved by the Senate, nor are they subject to the oversight of Congress. So far, 21 Czars have been appointed, with assignments and salaries set by Obama, and accountable only to Obama. This network of White House officers bypasses the traditional executive organizational structure that relies on Cabinet Secretaries to administer laws and promulgate rules subject to congressional oversight and supervision."

The article is short, and many significant insights are made in this short piece. READ IT ALL. This historical reference is quite important.
Lets start calling it the Mandel House instead of the White House
Obama is an abject marxist ideolog. His fundamental change is to creat a command economy under a marxist mdoel...and he is doing so as we speak.
Beck , actually a great educator (intellectually curious and enthusiastic), talks about this book.
It can all be brought to a halt if enough people demand his birth certificate.
Wow! Barry's attitude exactly. I had never heard of House before and this is very interesting. Perhaps WWI kept Wilson from going even further down this road; perhaps only an outside event will be able to keep Obama from carrying out House's plan.
WWI did not keep Wilson from going down the road. He, singlehandedly, went on a mission with House to Europe, and with considerable effort beginning with the Paris Peace Conference, laid the seeds for the League of Nations. We were saved from joining the League of Nations only by the US Senate refusing to sign the treaty. We later got stuck with the UN whose initial members were all Marxists picked by Alger Hiss with the exclusion of the first US Ambassador who stated we would rue the day we joined the UN.
Add to this a scrubbed cirrilua vitae, an unaudited and historic campaign fund, obscured birth records, and linkages to ACORN, and you have a mess that will take a long time to clean up.
If the media had any intellectual curiosity, he would have been bounced out of the primaries long ago. But, we're stuck for at least 3.5 more years - probably 7.5 more.
How about the Ci-cago house?
More accurate.
Ah, c’mon—everybody know 0 is king.
The O people know that, ...will we actually get there?

I was struck by the fact that Dru and his allies were willing to go as far as open rebellion and civil war to get what they wanted.
They also considered themselves to be enlightened and their opposition to be benighted and would come around if only they could be shown the errors of their ways.
I was reminded of some the things Michelle Obama has said; Obama/Dru fixing the holes in our souls among them. Dru is very much like a Messiah figure in the book, just as the One is in the minds of the enlightened.
Or, as Dr. Sowell has accurately labelled them, the ‘’self-anointed’’.
By chance, I just encountered this same piece is at World Net Daily, and, the author is Henry Lamb, who has written many other pieces over the decades...the link...

There was no need for him to self-anoint. He had plenty of grovelling sycophants to do that for him.
Probably fewer now, though.

Nothing new in this. The correct term is dictator.
