A system of government has been established and paid for to suit those in power, while the rest of us suffer.
And then along comes the Great O, who by all eloquence brings us willingly to the verge of autocracy - wherein one rules by himself. But not quite. The Chosen One will need some help in maintaining this legacy of social justice, and it has fallen into place quietly in the middle of the political night.
Before any of us could wonder and react, we now have some fourteen or fifteen so-called Czars controlling all matter of industry, finance and social cause. All appointed by the president. They have the power and the will to influence and control most every private sector concern, while answering to no one - no congress, no senate, no judiciary, no fed, nobody - but instead answer only to the president.
Our Constitutional Separation of Powers have slipped away in the dark. And once that separation is gone, there is no going back. It is gone. We now have a czar for every part of our private lives. We have one for the banks, for insurance, for major industries, for energy, for health care, for domestic intelligence, for immigration AND NOW FOR HOMELAND SECURITY. No part of our society can now remain beyond the reach and control of one man.
Autocracy - wherein one who rules by himself. We are there. And in only six months.

And now Obama and Janet Napolitano swear in two more 'czars' to posts within Department of Homeland Security:
Arif Alikhan - Secretary for Policy Development
Kareem Shora - Homeland Security Advisory Council
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) proudly announced the swearing-in of these two
devout Muslims just recently at a ceremony in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I feel safer already. Don't you?
