The co-chair of Barack Obama's Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett, appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and used, shall we say, an interesting word to described what she thinks Barack Obama will be doing in January when he's officially sworn into office. She told Tom Brokaw that Obama will be ready to "rule" on day one. It's a word that reflects the worst fears that people have for Obama the "arrogant," the "messiah," that imagines he's here to "rule" instead of govern. Jarret told Brokaw that "given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one." Someone needs to get to Jarrett and inform her that American politicians are not Kings and do not "rule" from office. But if this is the attitude of Obama's transition team, what does The One himself imagine he is about to unleash? Could the fears that Obama thinks he is being anointed America's King be far off with this sort of talk flying about?

bHO and his posse should invest some time with Mr. Shakespeare.
Obama can rule the Oral office with Larry Sinclair, but he will rule nothing else.
God is always good!
I beg to disagree, American Presidents can be, what else is an EO but the King's Writ.
And not a single question from the establishment whore Tom Brokejaw.

EO's apply only to the executive cabinet offices. Of course, presidential cabinet offices include the DoD, the Justice departments, and the Treasury departments. These departments control the military, FBI, BATF, IRS, and Secret Service forces. Government is force, as George Washington accurately stated, and Obama, a man with no police or service record, will be in control of all these forces.
My dictionary defines rule thusly: "control of or dominion over an area or people" At least we know where the Obamites are coming from.
...how lightly the crown rests...
