The Obama Regime


Hitler's Mustache               






  Slowly at first, then all of a sudden, the Obama administration has devolved into the Obama regime. Obama does whatever he wants. Those pesky impediments on his predecessors — namely, federal law, the separation of powers, and the Constitution — have proved as tough as tissue paper in containing Obama’s ambition to impose statism on America. From Obamacare to unions to telephones, it’s basically another day, another decree.

There is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes.” Justice John Paul Stevens , 1998

“I have to figure out what I can do outside of Congress through executive actions,” Obama reportedly told the Congressional Black Caucus last month. In Jacksonville on July 25, Obama announced, “Where I can act on my own, I’m going to act on my own. I won’t wait for Congress.” As Politico’s Edward-Isaac Dovere explained: “The president is done caring about congressional Republicans calling him a dictator.”

It does appear that there's movement towards acknowledging what we've known for four years. However, the closest the  NR author comes to recommending a course of action is commenting on a Justice  Stevens quote  from the Clinton era (inset)


Obama sees things differently. For him, the Constitution is for chumps, and the law is for losers. In History of the World Part I, Mel Brooks observed: “It’s good to be the king.” Yes, but it’s better to be Obama.

What's called for here are Thomas Jefferson quotes.

What is the difference between God and Obama?

God doesn't think he's Obama.

It's a shame there were no hidden cameras on the Obamas the first week or so they were in the White House. I'm sure they were dancing with glee that they would be able to rule by command like medieval royalty or Soviet technocrat. For a "Constitutional scholar" he and his followers were sorely mistaken as to the limits of powers of the Presidency...

Uhbama is doing better than a king. The king didn't have the world's best personal airplane and a staff of pilots to take him anywhere, anytime, to wallow in adulation, do fun things and avoid actually doing work.
A loathesome, malignant, puerile human wrecking ball is calling the shots, and he's doing a frighening job of destroying our country.

He just vacations, plays golf, and campaigns. I've been convinced for some time now that Valerie Jarrett's actually running the show.
