The American people have turned the office of the President into a king. We look to him to take care of everything, from natural disasters to unemployment. We blame the President for the budget and deficit, even though only Congress can authorize spending. We expect him to rule by executive order, rule, and regulation. We’ve seemed to have forgotten one thing. When you place a tyrant in an office you treat as a king, they tend to go much further than you anticipated. If the old saying is true, “Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas,” then it is also true: lay down with tyrants, get up as slaves.
