My sister was the principal of a Southeast Queens junior high school. She’s a very intelligent person but rabidly Dem, to the point she related to me that at a get-together with her fellow community board members of how much they’d love to see Obama start applying Executive Orders to ram through things that he’s getting stiff opposition to, from finance thru education and social services. I told her that E.O.’s could easily be the candy of dictators but she rebuffed that they (her group) DIDN’T CARE, so long as Obama uses E.O.s to sweep away everything standing in the way of “doing good.” It was a pretty frightening call to hear her that passionate, and to know that Queens pols are even talking this way makes me concerned of this “trickling up” the Dem ladder. I DO know that this a a very seductive hope among the black community and that Sharpton is deep in this notion too and God knows how many nationwide. Using an E.O. as a social engineering magic wand is dangerous beyond belief, and I hope MM and her colleagues at least bring this up early to head off any surprises from the WH.

She at least was part of the Royal Family.
