Obama Spokesman Says 'Obama Ready to RULE on Day 1'
Newsbusters ^ | November 10, 2008 | Warner Todd Huston

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.

Anything slip of the tongue by the Messiah himself on the Democrat radio address. He said President Bush was the “head of our government” until January.

Funny, the Constitution says he is the head of the EXECUTIVE branch, doesn’t it? I mean, call me nuts, but here is the first sentence of Article II:

“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

Nothin’ there about being the head of the government. ‘Course, once BHO takes over...all bets are off.

Only slaves and peasents need a King.

Maybe the American people need a “ruler” for they are incapable of self-government.

The fear is from the wrath of the PA voter, but PA people are satisfied as long as government programs flow uninterrupted.

This word has been used as well in the past by Clinton factotums. A statement captured by George Will about what "the American people want in their rulers." It is reason enough for me to consider each election moot.

Jarrett is a member of African-American and Chicago royalty.

Too bad she, like Obama, while technically a United States citizen, is not an American.

He does and I’m afraid he invites a high velocity response.

I think you are right, sad but true.

Mr. Obama is having trouble running the "Office of the President Elect" without constant missteps, his Messianic halo is developing some Chicago based tarnish, and his enthusiastic far left supporters are growing increasingly disenchanted with "The One".

It's still a long way to Jan. 20 and at the rate things are happening, Mr. Obama's 'Day One' won't be one of ruling but of running. I think the only high velocity response will be in the downward movement of his approval numbers.

True and new things are emerging daily. As much as I dislike Biden, I think he is safe. Obama is dangerous to our citizens and America. I would rather have anyone but him.
