BULLETIN:  PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES REJECTS ROYAL CONNECTION – AT 8:06 P.M. ET:  Explaining to a Hispanic audience why he hasn't gotten immigration reform through, President Obama made a concession today that will rock the political world and disillusion his remaining passionate supporters – all six of them.   

“My cabinet has been working very hard on trying to get it done, but ultimately, I think somebody said the other day, I am president, I am not king."

I'm just shocked at this, and a little bit hurt.  I thought he was king.  I wish he wouldn't spoil the illusion like this.  Don't you agree?

What is he going to say next – "I'm not God?"  That'll really do it.  I mean, who would support him after a zinger like that?  But I really don't think he'll go that far.  After all, he wants to be faithful to his self-image.  And, while it's true that he hasn't turned water into wine, he has turned prosperity into poverty, and let's not underestimate that.  And he has turned tens of millions of supporters into opponents.  How many of those Bible guys did that? 

So, okay, I'll buy it:  The king part is gone, but the Heavenly part...we're hangin' on.
