Oh, how quickly times have changed. Just a few short years ago, Democrats were up in arms over King George III's (President George W. Bush's) "unconstitutional" executive power grabs. Where are these people now?
I'll tell you where they are: right in the thick of it, enabling President Barack Obama to consolidate and exercise unprecedented power.
Remember when Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy complained that the constitutional "checks and balances that have served to constrain abuses of power for more than two centuries in this country" were at risk because Republicans controlled the executive and legislative branches? How about Sen. Russ Feingold, who was looking at impeachment as a remedy to keep the president in check and prevent him from acquiring power "like King George III"?
Today these same senators are not just passively mute about Obama's power grabs; they are co-conspirators.
You might think the repeated conservative complaint about Obama's egregious lack of transparency is, by now, a tired talking point. But we're not just referring to minor procedural matters that are substantively inconsequential.

How could they possibly object to their own words?
For months now I have been addressing Barack as King Obama. Finally the realization that this dictator has captured and is changing America. He and his rotten communist pack have no idea the damage they have done to the greatest nation on the Earth.
Not to worry, Barack is going to destroy this country. The reign of anti christ will be brief.
While were at it get folks like Chaim Ben Pesach and Ralph Ovadal over there as well. They should listen to those two.
Well I was referring to the recordings of them, not the people themselves lol. Do those two have any of the members on tape saying these things?
We need to stop saying they have no idea and they are idiots. They do know, and they may be idiots to believe what they do, but they are not stupid.
them being the members of Congress.
Guess that doesn't apply now.
Plus, it was kinda funny because it reminded me of Goober yelling at Barney Fife, "Citizen's arrest! Citizen's arrest!"
Do I need to give examples?
I would image this issue would bring out two sets of hypocrites, those who claimed the GOP had two much power in 2003 and now defend Democratic power and those who now claim that the Democrats have too much power and defended GOP power in 2003.
No need what-so-ever!! BUMP
