They are deluding themselves, their readers, and everyone else, with this idea of an all-powerful Chief Executive. A strong President is one who will be concerned about doing things in a constitutional way, respecting the legislative and the judiciary. Yet some writers are beginning to worship this concept of 'strongman' government. This has a very serious connotation for America. It means autocracy in the long run." Where are ya, Dwight?
