Obama’s most recent move to bypass Congress and give amnesty to illegal immigrants is just another example of our President’s enormous ego. An elected official who believes he is above the law is not only a major contradiction; it is an issue for all the citizens who put him in place.

A bold choice just for even the most popular and successful President, this recent amnesty order was all the more risky for Obama, whose approval rates and economic numbers are still on the downslide. Paired with the fact that this was a blatant pull for the Hispanic vote, the President’s choice seems all the more egotistical.

This is by no means the first time Obama has overstepped the boundaries of the Executive office. Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative to pass what is effectively the American Jobs Act broken into smaller pieces, is more of the same: executive orders signed off by the President to put his plans into action without any of the checks and balances that keep our democracy just that—a democracy. The fact that this bill was already voted down by Congress is not an issue because the President can do whatever he pleases. Don’t you remember reading that in the Constitution?

We don’t either.

At this point, it is surprising that President Obama can even fit through the Oval Office door. He believes his will alone is a foreign policy strategy, evidenced by his faith in the fact that Iran will stop making nuclear weapons simply because he said they should. He took the liberty of changing healthcare for all Americans, even those who were perfectly happy with their plans. And who could forget his Nobel Peace prize, awarded to him on the basis of his existence alone (because what could it have possibly been for?)

Yes, President Obama’s most recent move is ridiculous, but not altogether surprising. Instead of bringing back the down-to-earth guy who stole the hearts and votes of America in 2008, Obama is painting a picture of exactly the politician he decries in his campaign speeches, narcissistic and hungry for power, and he still thinks he’s got your vote locked in. It’s official: he is the most arrogant man in the world.
