Many may think that the reference to President Obama as a "messiah" or "king" is just crazy talk trying to mock him. Read this next article.
From Real Clear Politics:
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas said President Obama is "sort of God" in a way that's "standing above the country." Transcript below.
CHRIS MATTHEWS (HOST):Evan Thomas is editor at large for Newsweek magazine. Evan, you remember 1984. It wasn't 100 years ago. Reagan and World War II and the sense of us as the good guys in the world, how are we doing?
EVAN THOMAS: Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obama's had, really, a different task We're seen too often as the bad guys. And he, he has a very different job from ... Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is - we are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something, I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above above the world, he's sort of God.
The editor at large of Newsweek has elevated President Obama to God-status. This mean Obama cannot be questioned and needs no explanation. No transparency. Unfortunately, too many in the media believe this too considering he almost never gets bad press.
He probably thinks himself as a dictator. His charisma, his attitude toward corporations and nationalization, he's going to save us all, smells of fascism. Not fascism with stormtroopers. This is fascism with a smile on their faces and a flower in their hands.
That's where His Presidency's czars come in. Here's the list of czars:
1- Bank Bailout
2- Energy and Environment
3- Drug
4- U.S. Border
5- Urban Affairs
6- Regulatory
7- Stimulus Accountability
8- Iran
9- Middle East
10- Afghanistan
11- Pakistan
12- Technology
13- Car
14- Climate/Global Warming
15- Economy
16- Cyber
17- Health
18- Government Performance
This is a compiled list of what I could find in a matter of minutes from Reuters and other news organizations. This is way more than any other President.
Czars have no accountability, no oversight, no confirmation and no requirement of transparency. Just ask Neil Cavuto, he's been asking to talk to the car czar since his appointment, with no response, nobody knows where he is. Transparency?
Just as any two-bit dictator, His Presidency has appointed mini dictators, over parts of our economy and way of life, who don't need to be confirmed by the legislature and don't have to report to them either.
This is exactly what the Founding Fathers did not want to happen and that's why they developed the three branches of government. We have three separate branches with equal footing and "checks and balances" to assure that not one person or group of people could amass the entire power of the government. This is Civics 101. But when czars are appointed it subverts the checks and balances and equality of our three branch system. It allows the President himself to rule without restraint.
Essentially, Obama is trying to run the entire government with his buddies and ideological colleagues. In the process, by-passing the will of the people through their elected representative.
