The title of President of the United States has long been referred to as the most powerful man in the world.  This was largely based on the persons role as Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in the world and the fact that this person holds the keys to the deadliest nuclear arsenal ever conceived by man.

 

In ten short months though it is apparent that Obama is bent on consolidating his political power. He maintains an enemies list that dwarfs the one that drove Nixon from office.  He appoints Czars that seem to have unchecked power over all aspects of the private sector.  His pay Czar is asserting that he has the power to force private businesses to pay their employees what ever he thinks is “fair”.  His minions at the FCC propose to take over control of the internet.

 

It is clear that Obama strives to control his population in ways that even Hugo Chavez would envy.  When will we have a media Czar?  He already controls 90% of the media, he has al but declared war on FoxNews.  How long before he decides that FoxNews is “threat” to his security and orders them shut down?

 

How long before he decides what phones you can have, how long before he orders phone companies to remove access to websites that he thinks are against his message, he already has a rubber stamp congress that is telling car makers what cars they can build and sell.  He already owns two of the three car companies in the US.

 

There is no industry that he doesn’t seek to regulate.  The price of oil is headed back up again, when it reaches $150 a barrel again next spring we’ll be treated to the obligatory stories about how obscene the oil companies profits are and probably have an energy Czar to determine what is an acceptable level of profit for oil companies as well as the pay for oil company executives.

 

There will always be certain segments of the population who think that just because it doesn’t affect them it’s ok to regulate it.  Sooner or later it affects everyone.
