This is just freaking amazing:
American Caesar [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Yesterday, at a rally for R. Creigh Deeds in Virginia, President Obama said: "I don't want the folks who created the mess do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking."For Barack Obama, democracy appears to be a distraction. He really does seem to view himself as a Caesar.Shortly after taking office, Obama held a meeting with governors. At the time, one person in the room relayed Obama's request that critics and skeptics of the stimulus plan keep their concerns to themselves. Just let me do it, was his attitude. He got pushback and he wasn't happy. He wanted democratically elected state governors to shut up so he could do as he pleased. He knows better and we should respect that, seems to be the attitude.And if you disagree, you'll have Rahm to deal with.

I think we all know what he is talking about. I have always stated my fear about Obama he was too young. He has never been truly humbled in his political career. Most good Presidents have been. We see here an example of arrogance beyond belief.The misuse of political capital by this administration is like nothing I have ever seen. As a Republican that opposes many of his ideas that is great in the short term. But what if America gets attacked? What if we need him to expend that capital on protecting us. Will there be any left.
The President is about to go on vacation. Thank God. We need a break from each other. Perhaps when he comes back he will realize he needs to lead in a whole new way. I pray to God he does.
He should have been humbled a tad before before he became the leader of the Free World. Well it is about to happen now. Let's hope it sticks
