Obama's Three Branches of Government

THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO OBAMA.  THE FOUNDERS CREATED THREE CO-EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT FOR A REASON.  BUT OVER THE YEARS THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE HAS GROWN WILL THE INFLUENCE OF THE JUDICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE BRANCH HAVE GOTTEN SMALLER.  AND UNDER THE "LACK OF LEADERSHIP" OF BARACK OBAMA THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE HAS MUSHROOMED INTO SOMETHING THAT THREATENED THE VERY SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES THE FOUNDERS ESTABLISHED.  THE ABOVE CARTOON BY  MICHAEL RAMIREZ   SHOWS BETTER THAN ANY WORDS CAN TELL HOW OBAMA VIEWS GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA.  HE SAW THE EXECUTIVE UNDER PRESIDENT BUSH AS BEING ALL POWERFUL AND SOUGHT TO LIMIT THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT, BUT ONCE HE ASSUMED THE OFFICE HE THOUGHT THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY HAS INADEQUATE AND HAS BEEN FINDING WAYS TO INCREASE IT WITH EACH PASSING DAY.  HE REALLY DOES BELIEVE IN AN IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY.
