Ramping up the idea of supreme power...

"The executive branch also needs to change. Too often, it’s inefficient, outdated and remote. That’s why I’ve asked this Congress to grant me the authority to consolidate the federal bureaucracy so that our Government is leaner, quicker, and more responsive to the needs of the American people."- Barack Obama, SOTU 2012

“Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you.” - Barack Obama, La Raza speech July 2012

You caught that too.

To me that was the one part of the speech that instantly jumped out in front of everything else.

He wants it to be HIS government, not OUR government.

And the BS of "the needs of the American people."

???

I am surprised he did not use the "for the children" line of crap.
