Obama: I Can Do Whatever I Want


Obama recently quipped “That’s the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want”, to the French president about breaking protocol.

Obama says this around the time he delays the employer mandate for Obamacare until 2016, of which he is, of course, breaking the law….again.

“Many a true word is spoken in jest” is an old adage that rings true with our president’s recent remarks.

Via the pool report:

Monticello

At 4:45 POTUS and president Hollande walked out from a portico and strolled in Front of your pool with Leslie Bowman, president of the Monticello Foundation. Looking at a terrace she said that Jefferson loved to admire the landscape from there. POTUS said that he’d like to take a look and seemed delighted to “break the protocol”.
“That’s the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want” he quipped, walking to the terrace with his guest and Ms. Bowman. Pool now in the mansion as the leaders will come and visit Jefferson’s study.

The comment came around the time the White House announced it would be delaying the Obamacare mandate for some businesses unilaterally.

The French president is here in the U.S. on a state visit.

More notes from the pool:

Monticello
POTUS and pres Hollande paid a short visit to the study as your pool was looking through an alcove over president Jefferson’s bed. They admired contraptions invented by Jefferson to read and write more efficiently such as a lectern and a “polygraph”. Hollande noticed that one of the books was written in French.
