Super Obama, indeed!

Did you happen to catch the weekly address? This is of particular interest to our discussion:




Perhaps you disagree, but this language seems uncharacteristic for a sitting president. Not only is he reminding us of his campaign promises voluntarily, but this virtual declaration of economic war seems reminiscent of Teddy Roosevelt.

What do you make of it? What can come from it? Can a sitting president undermine the status quo that now legitimizes his power? If so, doesn't this make Obama's rise to power far more radical than previously considered?
