Obama's Candid Moment

Warren Beatty / American Thinker

Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama, during a visit to Monticello on Monday, February 10, said, "That's the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want." That statement, made to French President Francois Hollande and Monticello Foundation president Leslie Bowman, was presumably a joke. Key word: presumably. With Obama, you never can tell.

Obama's own recent statements suggest that what he said at Monticello is what he truly feels.

Speaking to House Democrats on Saturday, February 15, 2014, Obama said:

I want to work with Congress to make that happen. But, I'm not going to wait, because there's too much to do. And America does not believe in standing still.

In his State of the Union show on January 28, he said:

But America does not stand still -- and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do.

[Congress dysfunction]... prevents us from carrying out even the most basic functions of our democracy -- when our differences shut down government or threaten the full faith and credit of the United States -- then we are not doing right by the American people.

In January 2014, Obama, during his first 2014 Cabinet meeting, said:

I've got a phone that allows me to convene Americans from every walk of life -- nonprofits, businesses, the private sector, universities -- to try to bring more and more Americans together around what I think is a unifying theme: making sure that this is a country where if you work hard, you can make it.
