Well to be fair, Bush did the same thing. “If this were a dictatorship it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I’m the dictator.”

That's not the same thing at all.

Bush observed, quite accurately, that being a dictator would make his job a lot easier. He didn't say that it was a problem that he wasn't.

Obama, on the other hand, sees it as a problem that he's only the president and not the emperor.

Actually it would not be fair. When Bush made the dictator comment he was talking about getting his tax cuts passed so Americans would have more power over their money. Another time Bush made a dictator remark was when he was pushing for school choice.

I don’t see Obama pushing for empowering the people. He’s BIG government all the way.

Apples and oranges
