Looks like this impression of Barack Obama as a communist despot is starting to get around a "smidgeon":
Barack Obama thinks he's an "emperor" and will prove it Thursday with an expected plan to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation, conservative commentator and radio host Rush Limbaugh says.
The president's declaration in February 2013 that "I'm not . . . the emperor of the United States" and can't stop deportations that would tear immigrant families apart was just "buying time," Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday.
"What he didn't say was, 'I don't care about any of that,'" Limbaugh said. "'The only thing stopping me is there's an election coming up, and, when the election's over, that's when I'll do it. But I'm not gonna do it before that because that will hurt my party and maybe me.'
"He should have just told them to be patient and wait until after the election, because he doesn't believe he's not an emperor," Limbaugh charged.
Okay, that was Rush Limbaugh, and you'd expect him to say that.
But he's not the only one:
This last election was a referendum on amnesty. And the American people overwhelmingly rose up and said “no.” We don’t want lawless amnesty. And, I’m sorry to say President Obama’s reaction is defiant and it is angry with the American people. And, if the president goes forward with this, if he goes forward unilaterally defying the Congress elected by the people, defying the American voters, then it’s incumbent on Republicans in Congress to use every single constitutional tool we have to defend the rule of law to reign in a president so the president does not become an unaccountable monarch.” [emphasis added]
Paint O into a corner by passing separate appropriations bills instead of this "omnibus"/continuing resolution crap and compartmentalize the DHS appropriation with anti-amnesty riders, forcing Democrats to filibuster and/or Obama to veto...well, everything, all in service to an illegal imposition of an immigration policy three-quarters of the American people specifically and pointedly rejected at the polls two weeks ago? Not confirm a single one of his appointees to anything until he capitulates on dictatorial amnesty? I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get a little aroused, if you know what I mean.
But that was Ted Cruz, and you'd expect him to say that.
But not....Orrin Hatch:
With President Barack Obama set to announce executive orders that could grant work permits [and voter registration cards, no doubt] to as many as five million illegal immigrants, "he's coming off like he's a dictator or king," Senator Orrin Hatch told Newsmax on Wednesday.
"He has a right to do whatever he wants to do, but he doesn't have a legal right to do what he wants to do," the Utah Republican, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in an interview. "These are important issues — and it should unnerve every citizen that we have a president who, in some respects, is out of control."....
"That is not a power that a president should have or does have," Hatch said. "In a way, I think he's just sticking his thumb in the eyes of everybody in this country."
Not quite the metaphor I would use, Senator....
How appropriate, then, that tonight's imperial edict from Supreme Leader comes on Mexico's "Revolution Day":
Obama is making his announcement to grant legal status for millions of illegal immigrants on Mexico’s “Revolution Day.” The president’s prime-time address Thursday [November 20th, 2014] coincides with the date in 1910 when the Mexican revolution began. The timing hasn’t escaped the notice of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, a group that opposes the president’s plan. “November 20th is Mexican ‘Revolution Day‘ or Mexican ‘Civil War Day,’ which is the equivalent of America’s 4th of July,” said William Gheen, president of ALIPAC. “Obama’s choice of this date for his departure from his oath of office and the U.S. Constitution creates a permanent symbolic relationship between his actions and Mexico’s violent revolutionary and civil wars from 1910-1920.”
An American equivalent of which would be entirely to The One's liking. The very tantalizing prospect probably makes him cream his "mom jeans".
Let not your hearts be entirely troubled, though, my friends, as there is a punchline to this post:
Barack Obama will announce his highly anticipated plan to deal with millions of illegal immigrants [tonight]. While the cable news networks will carry the 8PM EST announcement, the broadcast networks — deep into November sweeps — will not.
According to network insiders, the White House did not request time from the networks for tomorrow night’s primetime speech. But because it comes at 5PM PST the network evening newscasts will have to update their programs. [emphasis added]
Why are the broadcast networks not carrying his infernal majesty's latest "historic speech"? Because they don't get ratings. Why do they not draw viewers? Because nobody believes anything this asshole says anymore, and after six long, dismal years, they've finally tired of being yammered at, hectored, and mendatiously dictated to. That, and the networks aren't willing to kick away millions in advertising revenue just to hold another idolatrous national Godbama service.
Although I would be remiss not to point out that if you think the past six years have been long, hard, and dismal, that was just the "getting acclimated" grace period. Because Maximum Leader is going to be in power, yammering, hectoring, lying, and dictating to "Us, The People" for years and years to come.
His amnesty decree will see to that.
