It's Good to Be Da King

I was thinking today of that old movie line (Mel Brooks, I think) "it's good to be da king!" This must describe Barack Hussein Obama's current role better than anything else. Reflect on the following truisms:

• Fawned-over by the media where he can literally do no wrong.
• Executive Chairman of several banks, insurance companies and automakers, despite having never held a private-sector job in his entire life.
• Enjoying the opulence of the White House.
• Foreign leaders tripping over each other just for a photo-op.
• Married to the most admired woman in the world. (?)
• An emasculated political opposition party that can't even get out of it's own way.
• Loyal minions ready to fall on the sword for any boneheaded move you might make.
• Absolutely no check-and-balance restraint originally intended by our founding fathers in the three branches.
• Opposing voices instantly vilified.
• All the power that comes from the unlimited money which you can print up and spend at your own discretion.

People ask me why I get so damned angry about this guy. It's not only because he's a liberal president. I lived through two terms of Bill Clinton with one-tenth of the angst I feel over this guy! And please....it's not because he's black. It's really the idea of this guy (or anyone) running the country (actually re-making the country) with such a supreme unquestioned and unopposed authority. If that's not being a king, what is?
