So someone urged him to become a full on dictator.
If anybody needs further evidence of the abject insanity of the left, here it is.
Constitution of the Weimar Republic, Article 48 covered the declaration of emergencies.
Precisely how Chancellor Hitler became der fuehrer.

Nobody suggested this to him. He came up with it himself. It’s his classic straw man. He raises it, modestly says “aw shucks, no.” And then waits for his minions in the national democrat/communist media/entertainment/academic propaganda complex to understand the proper signal and start pushing it.
It’s all very Stalinist.
Not just “someone” who suggested it. Someone who has the influence to pay fifteen thousand dollars for the opportunity to suggest it.
That’s assuming it was actually suggested, and not (as another just said) a straw man the Obama made up to frame the idea in a presentable & suggestive form.
