| Obama: "I am not king.' |
| 2010-10-26 |
| In an effort to energize Latino voters, President Obama defended his administration's efforts to work for a comprehensive immigration plan, while adding that he was frustrated by the failures of Congress to deal with the issue. "My cabinet has been working very hard on trying to get it done, but ultimately, I think somebody said the other day, I am president, I am not king. I can't do these things just by myself. We have a system of government that requires the Congress to work with the executive branch to make it happen. I'm committed to making it happen, but I've gotta have some partners to do it," Obama said. Glad he cleared that up. Some of us were starting to wonder. No other president ever felt compelled to say such a thing. Not even Nixon. |

| #12 My take is that he sees himself as a GodKing. After all, He is THE ONE, he has been waiting for. |

| #9 Nixon was not a thief and he was not nearly the incompetent egotist that is Obama. And not nearly the political shark that was LBJ. |

| #7 I thought keanu reeves was the one? Besides, the two of them are about the worst readers of script that I have seen on primetime. Anyone suffer through that wildlife program narrated by oprah? Horrible, almost as bad as obama's recent rallies where he looks crosseyed attempting to combine the arm/hand movements with the location of the teleprompter and make his head appear to be focusing on the crowd. Three legged donkey on roller skates attempting a triple lux. |

| #6 Oprah said he was the "One." I take that to mean messiah. Hopin Oprah has buyer's remorse about this time. Jeeze I get tired of celebrities trumpeting their clowns. |

| #5 Well no, but it is ok to jetset to St. Louis for a pizza..receive preemptive awards...personally attack the Supreme Court...demonize individuals and segments of the population without shame...jaunt across the world for family vacations...pout when your very precense does not influence the olympics...for that matter accept nomination at the foux Athenian Parthanon. Besides, a king does not have a platoon of czars, bow to other leaders so deeply, or is associated with left liberal progs. |
