President Obama chose an odd forum to confess his apparent desire to rule the United States as a dictator. Speaking last week to the National Council of La Raza in Washington, Obama said, “I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And believe me, right now dealing with Congress — believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting.”

We already knew that La Raza had no respect for this nation’s laws. Its No. 1 policy goal is amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants. Those are people whose first act in this country, by definition, was to violate our nation’s immigration laws.
