I remember when the press was making all sorts of noise about Bush' 'Imperial Presidency'.
Seems they've gotten their wish with Obama, but now refuse to call him on it.
Typical. Oh so typical.
The neocons actually called it "The Unitary Executive", and promoted it from the early days of Dubya's administration. Cheney was a big fan of the notion.
And Obama is thrilled to have such sophistry at his disposal. Congress participated with its AUMF sophistry.
