President of Everything

Brian Doherty makes the case that the new management will neither heed, nor are concerned, about their constitutional limits.

Obama’s speciality is shaping up to be particularly dangerous because it’s hard to dispute given the average American’s sensibilities. No call for liberty and constitutional principle seems convincing when Obama is arguing that those relying on government giveaways should have to follow government-set rules. That is, once you’ve allowed them to go ahead with the handouts, the political game is almost over. Under the guise of “managing the taxpayers’ money", Obama and his crew are rewriting mortgages, deciding executive compensation, tossing out CEO’s. And note carefully that his plans for where taxpayers’ money should go continue to swell, from healthcare to the environment to energy policy to expanded “national service” programs. When taxpayers’ money is everywhere - and Obama is doing his best to make sure it is - then Obama’s control is everywhere. The Octo-potus is claiming his space and flexing his grip.

As far as he’s concerned, it’s Barack Obama’s country. We’re just living in it.

Mr. Obama is wrong. The most powerful and important unit of government is the Individual, Sovereign Citizen. So get your hands the hell out of my pocket - and my banks pocket.
