Obama: 'The Problem Is ... Im Not the Emperor of the United States' Daniel Halper February 15, 2013 1:42 PM
In a Google hangout last evening, President Barack Obama explained that his problem is that he's "not the emperor of the United States":
"This is something Ive struggled with throughout my presidency," said Obama. "The problem is that Im the president of the United States, Im not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed."
” My job is to execute laws that are passed...”
Just the ones he likes. Pick and choose.
I'd rather not. Also, the recent election was as close to a survey as you need. He's mesmerized or bought off a majority (or, allowing for vote fraud, close to a majority).
Those that voted for him will go along with almost anything he does. I also think the Dem party unanimity (and the press unanimity) is unprecedented.
No, Bo is a psychotic punk with a sneering contempt for productive Americans and Patriots. He is our enemy, not our president.
I say Hallelujah brother! He is NOT the emperor!!! Let the bells ring across the land! Pass the peas! and the ammunition! HOWEVER, now wait a cotton-pickin’ minute! - he preceded the statement with: THE PROBLEM IS (i am not the emperor). Uh-huh. President isn’t good enuff, eh? I KNEW it! He WANTS to be EMPEROR. He DREAMS of Emperor-hood. He BREATHES Emperor. Flaky narcissist.
If that were to actually happen...there would be no Constitutional, moral or legal reason to allow it to stand. He would be painting a target on his back. There would be very few places he could hide. I wonder why FR has decided to allow random words from our posts to become advertising hyperlinks. Anyone else seeing this? Or do I have a virus?
FUBO
how do you satire this?
Satire?
Please don’t ....... I don’t think my blood pressure could handle it :0
I am not surprised he's feeding this dictator propaganda pablum to his followers. It's what they want to hear.
“The Problem Is ... Im Not the Emperor of the United States”
and to that I say Thank you God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
wow. Actually Mr. President it isn’t a problem, it’s the very reason we have division of powers - for people that wish there weren’t.
This is quite telling, it’s something he “struggles with”, why? He obviously thinks he should have more power. Not that this would be a surprise to those on FR, he understands the constitution, he just doesn’t agree with it - has openly said it’s too “constraining”. Yes it is, for good reason. What does it say about a president that thinks he knows better, with such arrogance I’d have a hard time believing that he *doesn’t* behave as an emperor, we just don’t see most of it because it’s all done behind closed doors.
Can you imagine what this guy would do if we didn’t have the constitution? Even though he does everything possible to get around it, the document is still able to be his enemy.
we don’t need it this time, I guess
The Emperor has no clothes!!
Obutthole shows his true inner self (he wants to be a king/emperor because he essentially acts like one with his defiance of the Constitution and abuse of executive orders).
President Narcissus is a fascist socialist demagogue.
51% of the voters in the US are too dumb to see it.
In order to secure the security and continuing stability.
The Republic will be reorganized into the UNITED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC'S OF AMERICA!!!!
For a safe, secure and equal society.
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Once when the Roman legions were crossing the Alps, they came across a small mountain village. It was very primitive: the houses were made of mud and wattle; the inhabitants were poor; and to one accustomed to the civilization of Rome it must have seemed very wretched.
The Roman army halted for a while and one of the officers approached the commander, Julius Caesar. "Caesar," he said, "see what a miserable village that is. And yet there is without doubt some man who is proud to be its chief."
Caesar replied: "I would rather be the chief pf these mountain people than the second man in Rome." This remark gives us an insight into Caesar's character.
Now I understand why Liberals do what they do. Even when the know the end result will be bad.
