Obama Calls Himself a Dictator. Or King. Or Emperor.

November 18, 2014 - Barack Obama once said that preventing deportation of illegal immigrants without the involvement of Congress would be dictatorial. Western Journalism's Norvell Rose notes that even Obama's natural allies in the liberal media are serving up scathing criticism of his tendencies to act more like a king than president.

Obama, heir to Stalin

Rose wrote that the New York Times "aptly points out" Obama has said on multiple occasions that acting on his own to curb the deportation of millions of illegals without an act of Congress "would amount to nothing less than the dictates of a king, not a president." 

A better analogy might be that Obama's penchant for acting without the peoples' elected representatives in Congress amounts more closely to the dictates of a despotic tyrant. There have been, after all, kings who have been more cooperative with their parliaments or congresses than Obama has been.

WJ's Rose gives us three examples from the NYT piece, "Using Executive Order on Immigration, Obama Would Reverse Long-Held Stance" of  "Obama’s own, very clear and specific words to explain that a president cannot simply move forward on this kind of domestic front without congressional authority," and they are damning:

• In a Telemundo interview in September 2013, Mr. Obama said…I’ll be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally,” Mr. Obama told Jose Diaz-Balart in the interview. “So that’s not an option.”

• …during a Google Hangout in February 2013…“This is something that I have struggled with throughout my presidency,” Mr. Obama said. “The problem is, is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

• In an immigration speech in San Francisco last November…Mr. Obama…insisted that only Congress had the authority to do what they [immigration protestors] wanted. “The easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our laws,” he said.

The NYT is not the only leftist newspaper of note to sling Obama's words back at him. Two editorials in The Washington Post point out Obama's hypocrisy and willingness to sabotage democracy: "In Mr. Obama’s own words, acting alone is ‘not how our democracy functions" on November 17, and from August 5, "Frustration over stalled immigration action doesn’t mean Obama can act unilaterally."

FLASH: OBAMA KICKS REPORTERS OFF PLANE!

HEADS UP AMERICA: Here is yet another preview of what life will be like under Barack Stalin Obama. Harassment of news media hasn't been enough. Now he's excluding dissenters and cutting off selected news media entirely. Gee, that's very Soviet of him, isn't it? The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states - and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president! The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday.... Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic campaign to become the first black American president. DEVELOPING @ DRUDGE REPORT...

The American Stalin Cometh

A shocking commentary by Sher Zieve, author, political commentator, Staff Writer and Program Director for The New Media Alliance (http://www.thenma.org/). Zieve's column, found on WebCommentary, is titled "Is the USA Ready for an American Stalin?"

There are two ways to answer that, I believe. First, "yes," because so many useful idiots are so foolishly eager to vote for Barack Obama. Second, "no," those useful idiots are not ready, but are so ignorant of political ideology and of modern history that they are eager to vote for Barack Obama. Hmmm, there's a third answer, too, which is "yes," for a few, because some people are knowingly eager to get a hard socialist regime in power in the US. None of those are happy answers.

Here is an excerpt from Zieve's commentary: Obama has long been an adherent of Marxism and—as well as having befriended and worked with Marxist terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn—one of his earliest mentors was Saul Alinsky; Marxist and the American founder of “community organizing” in Chicago. In his book “Rules for Radicals”—which he dedicated to Satan—Alinsky outlines how to create radicals and take over impoverished communities and then extend into the larger suburban areas by lulling the middle class into a false sense of comfort with the organizers’ ideas. Alinsky advises that by the time the “educated” middle class realizes the radicals were lying, it’s too late. 

Ostalin

Note: After Obama is elected, all of his programs and people to keep him in power indefinitely—and to rid him of any and all opposition—will be firmly in place. You will not be able to vote him out of office. By the time he assumes the position of President of the United States it will already be too late. A democratic republic will last only so long as people of good will allow and fight for it. After they are gone—or removed—it is ended. Read the full article...

Zieve firmly believes that if Leftists ran the country (and left to their own inane devices), it would be the end of the United States as a sovereign nation.

Obama Attacking Media, Free Speech

This just gets worse and worse. Like a bad nightmare, we have a presidential candidate working hard to suppress free speech. In this one of many examples, Team Obama lashes out against Chicago's own WGN Radio: DENVER -- Sen. Barack Obama's campaign is organizing its supporters tonight to confront Tribune-owned WGN radio in Chicago for having a critic of the Illinois Democrat on its air. "WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears," Obama's campaign wrote in an e-mail to supporters. "He's currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers." MORE at The Swamp... I see. But airing the rants of a left-wing hatchet man would be okay, huh? RELATED: LIKE NAZIS: OBAMA'S VICIOUS MEDIA PERSECUTION OBAMA SUPPORTERS SABOTAGING BLOG SITE

UPDATE: OBAMA'S THUGS ARE ALSO ATTACKING WGN RADIO. RELATED: OBAMA SUPPORTERS SABOTAGING BLOG SITE

THIS IS FRIGHTENING. The Obama Campaign is trying have people thrown in prison for a political ad (below). Can you say Soviet Union? Is this what we can expect from an Obama Administration: Gulags, purges, persecutions, paranoia? The Obama Campaign can't handle the truth, and they don't want you too, either. TO WIT: The Barack Obama campaign has resorted to a campaign of intimidation and legal threats to convince television stations and the federal government to force off the air an ad by the American Issues Project detailing the link between Sen. Obama and remorseless domestic terrorist William Ayers.

Furthermore:

The Obama campaign has been contacting stations running American Issues Project's ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot. The Obama campaign also sent a letter yesterday to the Department of Justice asking the government to investigate American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors. With no success on either front, the campaign has begun running its own ad in response. Notably, this ad fails to dispute a single fact in the American Issues Project's initial ad. [SOURCE: MARKETWATCH.COM] Needless to say, there is a lot of coverage of this bizarre behavior in both the big media and the blogosphere. One blog commenter noted: Legal action? Sheesh, it’s not like anyone involved with this ad set off a bomb or anything… well except for the featured pinhead Ayers. [Source: Sister Toldjah] Ed Martin, American Issues Project's president, said, "Having failed in its attempts to get our legal, factual and fully-supported ad off the air, Barack Obama's campaign now wants to put our donors in prison for exercising their right to free speech." [Source: Earth Times] Martin is rightly pissed off. "These over-the-top bullying tactics are reminiscent of the kind of censorship one would see in a Stalinist dictatorship, with the only difference being that those guys generally had to wait until they were in power to throw people who disagreed with them into jail."

SOS: 24th District Cops Out of Control

Fellow New Media Journalists: Please give this your attention, and help bring it to the attention of your readers. Bloggers - the free media - are under siege in Chicago's 24th Police District. This is a story for newspapers to latch onto as well - if they care about free media and free speech and police harassment. (They claim to - do they?) Where are the so-called, self-professed Free Speech Liberals? Craig and I have written about this extensively. Where are the ACLU types, so eager to defend neo-Nazis's free speech? Nazis can speak freely, even march past the homes of Auschwitz survivors, say the ACLU members. But bloggers? Why, they're bloggers! That's just unacceptable! Where are the so-called "community leaders" who call themselves "Progressives?" Where are our fellow bloggers? Where is Commander Steven Caluris, 24th District, who claims he is against the type of behavior that some of his troops are engaging in? They are silent, virtually all. Granted, a handful of people (mostly anonymous) are leaving comments on Craig's blog. Oh, how brave! Thanks for your virtually silent, anonymous-and-therefore meaningless support. The so-called civil libertarians of the 49th Ward in Rogers Park are precisely the opposite: They are boot licking sycophants to the local powers. They march lock step with Joe Moore and his cronies. None of them has stepped up to the plate, none has openly spoken out. That is why we need outside attention. Like a third world nation with a tyrant in power, we appeal to outside entities for assistance. All we ask for is your attention and assistance in getting the word out about official harassment of journalists in Rogers Park, the 49th Ward, the 24th Police District. To be sure, not all of the officers in the 24th are behaving badly. Most are not. But it only takes a handful of bad apples to make the whole house smell rotten. I am getting some of the abuse, but friend and fellow writer Craig Gernhardt is being harassed the most. Examples: * On June 28, Craig and I were assaulted by first responders (in front of the Ald. Moore's office). A paramedic committed assault and battery on Craig, then attempted strong arm robbery (no weapon) of his camera. A cop assaulted me, tried to steal my camera, brushing my hand with his in the attempted robbery. I have a formal complaint filed with Internal Affairs. See the video here. * In mid-June, Craig recorded video of some young kids working on the site of a gut rehab building. There is a police connection here, although weird. The kids were hauling fiberglass and other waste materials with no protective clothing or masks. (See * Child Labor Used in Rogers Park Rehab.) In any normal community, Craig would have been lauded as a hero for exposing the outrage - but here in socially dysfunctional Rogers Park, he is being attacked for it. Why? Mental cases here accuse him of making a child porn video! According to Craig, The kids are fully clothes, not doin anything sexual, are in broad daylight, in plain view of the street. The only sick people involved in the incident are the people accusing Craig of doing anything wrong. THE POLICE CONNECTION: About a week after Craig made this video, a female cop pulled Craig over and expressed her displeasure about it. She had no business doing this - it is a civil matter, not a police matter. * On July 6, a police car responded responded to a call about illegally parked vehicles where Pratt Avenue ends at the beach. The officer sees me, she also sees five illegally parked vehicles, and says to me, "I have a call that you're photographing cars. It's illegal to photograph cars." Huh? I ask her which ordinance makes it illegal to photograph a car in Chicago. Of course, she could not cite her make-believe ordinance. She wrote a ticket for a guy whose car was parked with two wheels over the curb, but ignored four life guard vehicles. (More about that over here....) This was not exactly harassment, but the message was loud and clear: The police (some of them) are more interested in hassling civilians than in doing their job.

For space considerations I'll stop here for now. But there will be more to come.
