Obama: 'The Problem Is ... I’m 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 I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency," said Obama. "The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed."

Are we reading it right? Yes, in his mind that is The Problem! A Communist dictator wanna-be, whose parents’ and grandparents’ heroes were various Stalins, Ho Chi Minhs and other mass murderers, sees the Constitutional restraints on himself (which he disregards every chance he gets anyway!) as The Problem! After all, He, and only He (OK maybe he, Valerie and Dr Emanuel), has such great ideas to make everyone on this planet happy.

I’m always dissapointed that so-called conservative news / commentary sources like Weekly Standard, Townhall and Fx News never mention the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in conjunction with power-grabbing Congress and Obama.

In fact, military and international trade issues aside, practically the only domestic government service that the federal government has the constitutonal authority to regulate, tax and spend for is postal services.

He’ll never be Emperor of the U.S. as long as I’m breathing.

I’m Not the Emperor of the United States'

Well damn. First thing he's got right since being elected in 2008.

I'm glad you know this Baraq, because on Jan. 20, 2017 @ 1200hrs, you will leave the presidency, either vertically or horizontally, your choice.

And he does a fine job putting to death every law he disagrees with.

I hate Obama. Really, really hate him. I don’t know if I can survive four more years. If only he would be impeached. If only.

I could imagine the media imploding if Bush said this.

He was ripped to shreds for saying he was the “decider”.

Execute laws that are passed? Why don’t you try enforcing our immigration laws for a change, Zero?

Actually it would not be fair. When Bush made the dictator comment he was talking about getting his tax cuts passed so Americans would have more power over their money. Another time Bush made a dictator remark was when he was pushing for school choice.

I don’t see Obama pushing for empowering the people. He’s BIG government all the way.

Apples and oranges
