"If he believes, and the Justice department believes, he has the authority to make progress, to strengthen the middle class, give people opportunity in this country, he will take it," Podesta added.
Shortly after Democrats got shellacked in the 2010 midterm elections, Podesta's Center for American Progress released a report saying Obama should use all of his power, including his authority as Commander-in-Chief of the military, to unilaterally enact his progressive agenda.
Well, there it is: the smoking gun. A liberal admitting that Obama wouldn't have any qualms about ruling by executive says volumes about the man in the White House. The author of the column, Joe Newby, is to be commended for posting this story so that we can help inform the sheeple out there that still have their doubts.
The State of the Union address tonight may offer further evidence of Obama's hunger for more power; that will be what I'll be keeping an eye out for. Believe me, though, the speech writers are quite sneaky about sneaking in the insidious remarks, but they will be there. I hope all the bloggers out here in the New Media will be paying attention tonight! Just sayin'...

Podesta assured NPR that Obama would be using his executive authority to address a number of issues, including global warming.
