Look Joe, obama is excersizing the power of the presidency. These things have happened with other presidents. Your point is a good one. I dont know all the details and i hesitate just accepting barones piece as gospel on this. But assuming your right, your leap to mussolini is uncalled for. Hell, look at nixon with law breaking, truman and steel strike, bush and torture, presidents overstepping not all that new. Soon you can start calling for his impeachment based on property rights breach.

I am not calling for impeachment. Voters gave Obama almost total power. He has a choice to use it judiciously, or he can become a thug, knowing he can get away with it, as his power is unchecked. That's why Chrysler deal is alarming. GM is coming up.

BTW, you expressed your hopes before the election. I expressed mine here:

My hope for the country is a very modest one: That we will get to vote again in 2012 in a meaningful election.

The odds are still pretty good, but have shrunk last week.
