Did you know that the kings of England, and later the United Kingdom, continued to include "king of France" among their formal style and titles until the Treaty of Amiens with Bonaparte in 1803? When the American rebels took up arms against George III, he was still officially styled "king of Great Britain, France and Ireland".
These imperial formulae change very slowly, if ever.
So basically what you're saying is we've got a few more years before Obama loving retards wise up?

Some wise man once defined the Republican Party as "the conspiracy of the rich and the stupid".
"This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: To set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagence; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in a manner which, in his judgement, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community"
Not Karl Marx. Not Mao Tse-Tung. Not Fidel Castro. Not Saul Alinsky.
One of the three (wisely) stated that politicians should not be paid, they should take an oath to work for the common good without pay, focusing their energies on others and not themselves.
Wonder how that philosophy would play with the Tea Party?
The President is our Head of State, the Leader of the Free World, etc., etc., etc.
And he's paid rather less than Ron Johnson, whose salary in 2011 came to 53.6 million dollars, or 134 times Mr. Obama's pay packet.
But Obama is paid almost half a million dollars per year for the rest of his life, this despite the fact that he will get multi-million dollar book deals and million-dollar speaker's fees.
He is not there to make money or be treated like a king.
In fact on the contrary, he is exactly there to be treated like a king. The role of the president in our constitution was precisely to act, as head of state, as a replacement for a king: the president is a ersatz, temporary, constitutional monarch.
Perhaps because "the problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relations"?
Oh, so this is really another "wealth inequality" thread. See the other thread from last week.
