This statement supports my post in the prior blog, i.e., that Obama is willfully inserting himself into the middle between all orbits of power.

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

In the prior blog entry, he is in the process of using charm and perceived weakness to draw provincial leaders in Europe, Middle East, and Asia to him. In this case, he’s just farther along in getting out the message that these power brokers need to relinquish power to him…

“…I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the pitchfork thrusts; it thrusts for thee”

Excuse my clunky paraphrase, but I believe that Mr. Obama should take stock of exactly how close the past election was (52 – 48) before he presumes a mandate on par with Reagan’s second term, etc.

There is plenty of blame to go around here yet not a crumb of humility coming from those at the levers of power in government.

Actions have consequences, Mr. Obama, and those bankers/industrialists that are holding their collective tongues now will not be silent forever. Anecdotal as it may be, Andrew Napolitano’s comments on Fox yesterday morning about the feeling of extortion by government re TARP of the fiscally sound banks were chilling. How much longer will the Judge’s friend be cowed into silence?

DeSantis’s letter to the NYT the other day should be a wake up call to Obama, yet hubris renders him deaf to the fact that he works for us, not the other way around.

On the bright side, the events of the past year have been an excellent opportunity to teach my three daughters civics. You should hear them rip apart liberal arguments.
