Brilliant Democratic Strategy Revealed!

.................

Dictator or democrat?
Radical or liberal?
Who in the world is this man?
Where in the world is the responsible media?
What's going on?

........ When he takes office, Obama will be a dictator. Whether he wants it or not, all the unchecked, ill-gotten executive power that BushCo. has accumulated over the last eight years will flow to him like he's Highlander beheading the last Immortal. President Obama will begin his term as one of the most powerful executives since FDR, and with almost as big a mess to clean up.

And how did Dubya obtain all this power? Congress gave it to him, freely and willingly, continuing to do so long after the toxic fog of 9/11 lifted. And it wasn't just Republicans, there were lots of Democrats pitching in, too. Hell, some of them are still trying to help Bush out even now, when he's the lamest of lame ducks and the unpopularest of unpopular preznits. Who knows, some of them may even help with his next attempt to legislate away habeas corpus.

But what if it's not weakness? What if the cunning Democrats actually planned all this out, knowing that no ordinary mortal president could fix everything BushCo. broke, and also knowing that Dubya and his minions would make such complete asses of themselves that a Democrat couldn't possibly fail to get elected president this year. So by pretending to be weak, the pro-executive power Democrats assured themselves of a mighty Superpresident in 2009, with the extraconstitutional superpowers necessary to right the wrongs, punish the wicked, and stop the country from going over the cliff.

Or they could just be a bunch of clueless chickenshits.

NOTE: The preceding is satire, and is not meant to endorse unchecked presidential power in any way. If you are a Democratic president experiencing unchecked presidential power lasting more than four weeks, consult a constitutional scholar immediately.

2. "like he's Highlander beheading the last Immortal" --brilliant

Certainly we'd waste less time on debates if we selected our leaders that way.
