In His Own Words: Obama Says He is a Constitution Violating Dictator

Last week we reported on the increasingly dictatorial trend of the Obama administration. Now we feature a video highlighting this disturbing trend in Obama’s own words.

In the video, Obama laments that he cannot rule by authoritative fiat and bypass Congress and the American people. He states that despite laws enacted by Congress and the American people, he will do what he wants – or rather, what his globalist handlers want.



Obama presides over an almost complete overthrow of the Constitution. It is treason manifest, but the establishment media will not point this out and instead make excuses for what amounts to a coup d’etat.

The latest violation of the Constitution came last week when Obama said he will impose by decree amnesty for illegal aliens. Remarkably, few people in Congress complained or protested this abrogation of the Constitution and the laws of the land.

Prior to this, Obama’s chief of staff, David Axlerod, said the Obama administration will call for destroying the First Amendment in order to stifle and criminalize his critics.

In May, Obama threatened to stop sending Medicare payments to old people if the Supreme Court does not rule in his favor on Obamacare, legislation that subverts the very foundation of the Constitution and underscores Obama’s arrogation of power reserved for the people.

He has worked hand-in-glove with the globalists who are determined to undermine and do away with the Constitution. Last week we revealed a leaked document posted on the Public Citizen website that details the Obama administration’s “trade objectives” under the Trans-Pacific Partnership, including a plan to allow transnational corporations to skirt American banking, investment, environmental and labor laws.

It’s Official: Presidency Now a Dictatorship spells out all of Obama’s crimes. Now is the time for a move to not only impeach this president, but put him on trial for high crimes and misdemeanors. Congress – increasingly irrelevant – needs to act before it is too late and it becomes entirely ceremonial.

Okay, but just so you know, Federal immigration laws are unconstitutional.

Unless you can find me the word "immigration" in there somewhere.

Video seems kind of weak in its point. And since when have we had any real system of checks and balances? Constitution has been consistently broken for over 200 years. We're just less tolerant of some positions breaking it than others, also largely depends on whether we 'like' what is being done, whether it be 'legally' right or wrong. But in reference to the video it needs to do a better job if it's going to sway any real Obama supporters, it didn't seem very harsh on him to me, rather weak. And giving weak accusations tends to strengthen their resolve instead of cracking it... they'll just then think subconciously 'that's the best you've got, guess Obama isn't so bad if that's all the opposition can muster up on him'. Not trying to be discouraging, but these videos need to find the speeches that will be more damning and hard hitting to be effective so don't settle for something that just mildly hints at the point.

Gee Dub set the precedent.

I believe I've found the quote you seek, as reported by the Associated
Press. The joking remark was made on December 18, 2000, while Bush was
speaking with a group that included U.S. Senators Trent Lott and Tom
Daschle and U.S. Representatives Dennis Hastert and Dick Gephardt:

On the closely divided Congress, Bush said he told the congressional
leaders that "there are going to be some times when we don't agree
with each other."

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier,"
Bush said, pausing and then joking, "just so long as I'm the
dictator."

Perhaps the day's most striking scene came on Capitol Hill in the
Rayburn room named after another powerful Texan, the legendary former
House Speaker Sam Rayburn. Before a battery of television cameras,
Bush appeared with the congressional leaders who will have a major say
in determining his success in these divided political times.

To Bush's right stood the Republicans, House Speaker Dennis Hastert of
Illinois, and Sen. Trent Lott, the majority leader from Mississippi.
To his left stood the Democrats, Rep. Dick Gephardt, the minority
leader from Missouri, and Sen. Tom Daschle, the minority leader from
South Dakota. Bush had met with the Republicans before, but he made a
point on Monday of spending time with each of the two Democrats.

All five men took pains to sound conciliatory and Bush joked: "I told
all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree
with each other, but that's okay. If this were a dictatorship, this
would be a heck of a lot easier." Chuckling, he added, "Just so long
as I'm dictator."

Here you will find the quote in context, and a link to an audio file
containing the quote:

ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: President-elect Bush and the four congressional
leaders met for two hours.

PRESIDENT-ELECT GEORGE W. BUSH: I told all four that I felt like this
election happened for a reason; that it pointed out-- the Delay in the
outcome should make it clear to all of us-- that we can come together
to heal whatever wounds may exist, whatever residuals there may be.
And I really look forward to the opportunity. I hope they've got my
sense of optimism about the possible, and enthusiasm about the job. I
told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't
agree with each other, but that's okay. If this were a dictatorship,
it would be a heck of a lot easier... ( Chuckles ) ( laughter )
...just so long as I'm the dictator. ( Laughter )

Another, similar quote was reported in August 2001 by the Associated
Press, by Business Week, and elsewhere:

President Bush conceded yesterday he's had his struggles with Congress
and is bound to have more, joking that "a dictatorship would be a heck
of a lot easier." Still, he said the relationship is a healthy one
after his first six months in office.

With South Dakota Democrat Tom Daschle at the helm in the Senate, Bush
has been floundering to get anything done on Capitol Hill. And he even
seems to be losing control of the Republican House -- mainly because
he has shown such little willingness to compromise. How bad are Bush's
relations with the Hill? "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot
easier, there's no question about it," he recently joked.
Congressional leaders aren't laughing.

As Jonathan Alter notes in his on-line column in the 8/6 issue of
Newsweek (on MSNBC - "Fighting the HMO Meanies"): "'...A dictatorship
would be a heck of a lot easier - there's no question about it,' he
said again last week, repeating what appears to be his favorite quip."
(In the book Fortunate Son, J. H. Hatfield has Dubya, as governor of
Texas in 1996, saying this to a business group - "It would be a heck
of a lot easier to be a dictator than work in a democracy". This is
not a "new" joke for him.)

A surprising and dispiriting number of y'all are still stuck in the contrived, INGRAINED, manipulative Left/"Right" thing...as tho one "side" is worse and one side is the Lesser Evil, conveniently dubbing YOUR side the Lesser Evil.

Write 500 times on a blackboard:

If it's Obama, Romney & Johnson on the November ballot, I may not vote for Gary Johnson but I won't not vote for him out of spite.

MAUREEN DOWD:

A Vice President Without Borders, Bordering on Lunacy


WASHINGTON


It’s hard to imagine how Dick Cheney could get more dastardly, unless J. K. Rowling has him knock off Harry Potter next month.

Harry’s cloak of invisibility would be no match for Vice’s culture of invisibility.

I’ve always thought Cheney was way out there — the most Voldemort-like official I’ve run across. But even in my harshest musings about the vice president, I never imagined that he would declare himself not only above the law, not only above the president, but actually his own dark planet — a separate entity from the White House.

I guess a man who can wait 14 hours before he lets it dribble out that he shot his friend in the face has no limit on what he thinks he can keep secret. Still, it’s quite a leap to go from hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the capital to hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the Constitution.

Dr. No used to just blow off the public and Congress as he cooked up his shady schemes. Now, in a breathtaking act of arrant arrogance, he’s blowing off his own administration.

Henry Waxman, the California congressman who looks like an accountant and bites like a pit bull, is making the most of Congress’s ability, at long last, to scrutinize Cheney’s chicanery.

On Thursday, Mr. Waxman revealed that after four years of refusing to cooperate with the government unit that oversees classified documents, the vice president tried to shut down the unit rather than comply with the law ensuring that sensitive data is protected. The National Archives appealed to the Justice Department, but who knows how much justice there is at Justice, now that the White House has so blatantly politicized it?

Cheney’s office denied doing anything wrong, but Cheney’s office is also denying it’s an office. Tricky Dick Deuce declared himself exempt from a rule that applies to everyone else in the executive branch, instructing the National Archives that the Office of the Vice President is not an “entity within the executive branch” and therefore is not subject to presidential executive orders.

“It’s absurd, reflecting his view from the first day he got into office that laws don’t apply to him,” Representative Waxman told me. “The irony is, he’s taking the position that he’s not part of the executive branch.”

Ah, if only that were true. Then maybe W. would be able to close Gitmo, which Vice has insisted he not do. And Condi wouldn’t have to worry every night that she’ll wake up to find crazy Dick bombing Iran, whispering to W. that they have to do it before that weak sister Hillary takes over.

“Your decision to exempt your office from the president’s order is problematic because it could place national security secrets at risk,” Mr. Waxman, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote to Cheney.

Of course, it’s doubtful, now that Vice has done so much to put our national security at risk, that he’ll suddenly listen to reason.

Cheney and Cheney’s Cheney, David Addington, his equally belligerent, ideological and shadowy lawyer and chief of staff, have no shame. After claiming executive privilege to withhold the energy task force names and protect Scooter Libby, they now act outraged that Vice should be seen as part of the executive branch.

Cheney, they argue, is the president of the Senate, so he’s also part of the legislative branch. Vice is casting himself as a constitutional chimera, an extralegal creature with the body of a snake and the head of a sea monster. It’s a new level of gall, to avoid accountability by saying you’re part of a legislative branch that you’ve spent six years trying to weaken.

But gall is the specialty of Addington, who has done his best to give his boss the powers of a king. He was the main author of the White House memo justifying torture of terrorism suspects, and he helped stonewall the 9/11 commission. He led the fights supporting holding terrorism suspects without access to courts and against giving Congress and environmentalists access to information about the energy industry big shots who secretly advised Cheney on energy policy.

Dana Perino, a White House press spokeswoman, had to go out on Friday and defend Cheney’s bizarre contention that he is his own government. “This is an interesting constitutional question that legal scholars can debate,” she said.

I love that Cheney was able to bully Colin Powell, Pentagon generals and George Tenet when drumming up his fake case for war, but when he tried to push around the little guys, the National Archive data collectors — I’m visualizing dedicated “We the People” wonky types with glasses and pocket protectors — they pushed back.

Archivists are the new macho heroes of Washington.

I remembered this line particularly, in fact used it to locate the article via Google:

"Still, it’s quite a leap to go from hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the capital to hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the Constitution."

Priceless.

It is very VERY rational to be leery of the Republican Party, eminently rational to NOT want to reward the GOP with "gains". Obama and Democrats SUCKING WORSE THAN USUAL does not somehow render the Grand Old Party worthy of rewards.

Some quite substantial rewards DO accrue from "winning offices" and being of "public service"...can we agree on THAT?
