Apparently our "esteemed leader" has a very inflated sense of power and a belief system that He is universally (at least republic wide) loved and respected by a majority of his constituants. I would offer this opinion: that there is, in the fairly immediate future, the possibility that His actions will have consequences beyond his wildest imaginings. Further, that an awakening populace will act in unanticipated manners especially when the bite of "big government" becomes personal! I would suggest that our elected representatives should look at history (Rome, and Greece come to mind) and think hard on the ramifications of the fall of our republic. Just sayin
