Obama's Morsi-esque Ambitions


Barack Obama tried to pull a Morsi.  He sent his toady Tim Geithner to meet with GOP leaders behind closed doors and pretty much demanded dictatorial powers.  Speaker Boehner rejected the proposal.  The Senate minority leader laughed in his face.  A spokesman for the progressives’ lord and savior stated that we shouldn’t be surprised.  And quite frankly, I’m not.  I always thought this guy had a totalitarian heart.  Here is the President-for-Life's laundry list:
1. An immediate $1 trillion tax hike through higher top marginal income tax rates as well as higher taxes on both capital gains and dividends.
2. An agreement to raise $600 billion more in taxes later this year by limiting tax deductions for top earners.
3. $50 billion in new infrastructure stimulus spending.
4. Another “emergency” extension of unemployment benefits.
5. An extension of either the payroll tax cut or the reinstatement of Obama’s stimulus Making Work Pay tax credit.
6. A mortgage refinancing program.
7. Billions in new spending to prevent cuts to Medicare reimbursement payments for doctors.
8. An infinite debt limit hike.


When do you think Obama will proclaim our Constitution antiquated and unworkable?  Exactly, when do you predict he will demand emergency powers, until a new governing framework is more conducive for our times?  I believe it’s a possibility.
