Beware of Obama taking matters into own hands
Do you know how Hitler took power in Germany? Mussolini in Italy? How about Stalin? More recently, Chavez in Venezuela? They all talked about how they had to act for the people. They were only taking power because they people needed them to take the power.
I could not believe I heard an American president state that if the Congress will not cooperate, he will have to do what needs to be done. He can't wait on them while they squabble. Really. And the American people sleep.
Lord Acton stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." Wake up America.
