President Obama "quipped" today during a visit to Monticello with the French president, "That's the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want."
Via the pool report:
Monticello
At 4:45 POTUS and president Hollande walked out from a portico and strolled in Front of your pool with Leslie Bowman, president of the Monticello Foundation. Looking at a terrace she said that Jefferson loved to admire the landscape from there. POTUS said that he'd like to take a look and seemed delighted to "break the protocol". "That's the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want" he quipped, walking to the terrace with his guest and Ms. Bowman. Pool now in the mansion as the leaders will come and visit Jefferson's study.
The comment came around the time the White House announced it would be delaying the Obamacare mandate for some businesses unilaterally.
The French president is here in the U.S. on a state visit.
More notes from the pool:
Monticello POTUS and pres Hollande paid a short visit to the study as your pool was looking through an alcove over president Jefferson's bed. They admired contraptions invented by Jefferson to read and write more efficiently such as a lectern and a "polygraph". Hollande noticed that one of the books was written in French.

your pool was looking through an alcove over president Jefferson’s bed.
I wonder if they caught the fact that the bed was on
counter weights and could be raised into the ceiling
enableing someone to walk between the rooms.
Crafty guy that Jefferson.
Given his history with the truth and with lies, I’d bet he could pass a lie detector with flying colors.
He can’t tell the difference between the two.
Since Boehner & Mcconnell aren’t Conservatives & have surrendered to Obama I’m blaming them for empowering Obama who is so confident he can say he can do whatever he wants.
He can do whatever he wants because Boehner is worthless.
Yup. I’ll buy that he studied the Constitution. SMH.
“Whatever I want” should read “Whatever Valerie Jarret and Michelle tell me to do.”
How apt of Emperor Barry to proclaim his unlimited powers under Jefferson’s roof.
Does this man (and I use the term very loosely) ever have a thought about people other than Himself? /rhetorical
Agreed.
How many times have we heard pundits say, “He can’t do that, it is unconstitutional.” Yet, he does it. Unchallenged.
It is amazing to watch this guy continue to pull the wool over the eyes of America.
A child will continue to misbehave until someone stops him. If no one stops him, he will continue to misbehave and why shouldn’t he? No consequences to his action - the action continues. Obama needs a serious chastening. Soon.
He would have been impeached long ago.
Not with his mental illness, no chance.
Ummmm...well you SHOULD NOT be doing “whatever” you want. Some “Constitutional Lawyer” you were. This mostly proves you didn’t pass any of your courses for your imaginary degree.
Every time he opens his mouth he gives all decent people more reasons to hate him.
All this while McCain, Cornyn and the rest of the RINO’s are counting their 30 pieces of silver.
Silver supplied by the lobbyist buying votes.
With Cruz, we have hope.
Can’t blame him..no one in the House or Senate will do a damn thing about it.
I'm positive though that I'm living in a parallel universe.
