I recently read that the original meaning of the term “Tyrant” was one who got the people behind him and took control.

Kings did not have to get the people behind them because they had power that extended directly from God.

Obama began by being a supposedly popularly elected leader with overwhelming support. Having an opinion on abortion was “above his pay grade.”

He then tried to move into the role of Tyrant – ruling by decree because it was The People’s Will – virtually a dictatorship of the proletariat.

When that seemed to be falling apart, tried the “God Wants This” approach – moving to the usual power base of a King. It was no longer above his pay grade.

In a few short months he has tried almost every known means of seizing and holding power, except possibly declaring himself Pope or the Leader of Islam or something of that order.

But it is all about Power.
