Louis XIV supposedly is the one who first said "L'État, c'est moi" ~ but it's more likely that was simply thought of his attitude by those who had to deal with him up front.
Much of our Bill of Rights was written with this particular tyrant ~ the King of France ~ in mind!
Obama clearly thinks of himself as constituting the same sort of personage.
