The Monopoly Presidency

This forum has recently published a piece on how we are being drowned in debt by a President happy to print an ocean of fiat currency. But the misfeasance goes far beyond the spending spree. There is the rush to monopolize power and not even permit Congressional review of a class that heretofore barely existed- Presidential Czars. Then, there is demand from the executive of ever more broad and sweeping surveillance powers, with mobile vans being equipped with X-rays perhaps being permitted to peer into homes domestically and without the supervision of courts, to the President seeking the ability to eavesdrop on the Internet by requiring all American Internet service providers to provide the government with a "back door" to defeat encryption. President Obama now even evidently has compiled a "kill" list of twenty-five Americans to be terminated in the event of an emergency. This is all capricious rule that is normally expected only of tin pot dictators. Barack Hussein Obama spends us into unrecoverable debt as if he is only expending play money, but much more alarmingly, he arrogates unprecedented power to the executive branch without bothering to consult the co-equal US Congress or even troubling after warrants from the formerly co-equal Courts. Could we be witnessing a despot in the making?
