No, this is no innocent slip up. Reading what "The One" has laid out for us on his web site I do believe that he will rule and not govern! But then again having a "ruler" instead of a "president" is change . . . isn't it?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Well, he is the King of the World now, isn’t he? /s

[Eye of Unk]

And his new rock band is about to land!

[autumnraine]

Oh dear Lord, they aren’t even trying to watch their words.

Govern?

Lead?

But rule?

God help us.

[ari-freedom]

He wants to be a ruler but he can't even control his...

Is it too late to organize a barricade around the White House on January 19? This guy shouldn’t be anywhere near Washington D.C.

[kittymyrib]

My, my...shouldn’t that be “serve”??? Even “lead” would be better than “rule.” A huge stink should follow that telling remark, just to let BO know that we don’t need a ruler in the White House.
We fought a revolutionary war about that issue, and George Washington quashed the idea when his admirers wanted him to be king. And Barack, you are no George Washington.

Up to now, Presidents have “served”

This one plans to rule

C-H-A-N-G-E

These people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between the American people and the American government.

Unfortunately, an awful lot of our fellow citizens share the same fundamental misunderstanding. If you tell them that granting Barack Obama the power of a medieval king will mean the price of gas will stay at $2.00/gallon and they won't have to pay for it when they go to the dentist, they'll give an enthusiastic “thumbs up”!

We are shortly going to witness abuses of power not seen before in the former USA.

The people that voted for this Thing have truly lost their minds.

Everyone should have seen this for the megalomania it is when That One gave his speech in front of the rented set from "Julius Caesar".

[Allegra]

RULE THIS.

[cake_crumb]

"But then again having a 'ruler' instead of a president' is change . . . isn't it?"

Yeah. The kind we CAN believe :-(

[Carley]

Only true patriots fear o’s rule.

The rest of the voters are waiting with breathless anticipation.

No more thinking for ones self, no more planning for your own future. O will take care of everything.

Count me out and count me armed.

I saw the MSNBC video on “change.gov”! I had to run it back several times to make sure I heard her say what I thought she said. Guess that’s the Iranian in her coming out.
