Here is what Julius C. Smith, of the American Bar Association, had to say about all of this:

“Is there any labor leader, any businessman, any lawyer or any other citizen of America so blind that he cannot see that this country is drifting at an accelerated pace into administrative absolutism similar to that which prevailed in the governments of antiquity, the governments of the Middle Ages, and in the great totalitarian governments of today? Make no mistake about it. Even as Mussolini and Hitler rose to absolute power under the forms of law... so may administrative absolutism be fastened upon this country within the Constitution and within the forms of law.”

Well, I misslead you a bit. Although he is talking EXACTLY about what Obama IS DOING, he was really talking (back in the 30’s) about what FDR was doing with the New Deal.

From an excellent booklet entitled “The Revolution Was”, in the following thread. It is about FDR and the New Deal, but you could replace it for Obama about 99% of the time. It is scary. (But not odd, as Obama is just following FDR’s proven, results-getting formula). We’ll see if Obama tries to add to the Supreme Court like FDR if they try to block the “Reconciliation” thing.

Not Odd at all. It’s the same self-evident tendancy of human nature recognized by the American founders when they constructed this Republic to protect the Individual from it.
