I'm not a dictator

"I am not a dictator," Obama said. "I'm the president."

He added: "So, ultimately if Mitch McConnell or John Boehner say, 'we need to go to catch a plane,' I can't have Secret Service block the doorway. Right?"

Yeah, in that very first sentence, you can hear the regret in his voice. He so regrets the frustrating restraints placed upon a President.

I'm really glad he can't mind meld (even though he doesn't know the source)!! That would be cruel and unusual punishment! :bigear:

My dad told me, "if a man says trust me, you better grab your wallet and get away from him". I wonder what his advice would be about a president that says, "I'm not a dictator".
