Democrats could be doubly disappointed come January. President Obama might be handing Mitt Romney unparalleled presidential power. The best alibi liberals can leverage in defending Obama’s overstretch continues to be blaming problems "inherited" from Bush while scaring voters about Mr. Romney’s sinister aspirations. Rather than tout his public sector expansion Obama’s electoral pitch consists largely in lambasting Romney for private sector success.
To illustrate a point, accept that Republicans are equally inept, waste as much and are just as scandal prone as Democrats. Pretend Romney really is the fiend that Obama’s attack ads caricature. He'll outsource your job then let your family suffer so he can reward his rich friends. Consider what this premise entails about the proper scope of government.
If Romney is so awful, why grant him such sweeping authority?

Those who believe the state is basically altruistic surely still recognize the peril of unaccountable hegemony in the wrong hands. Barack Obama drastically expanded government, particularly in the Executive Branch. Dozens of unelected czars, widespread executive orders, an accelerating run-up in regulation and extensive granting of Obamacare waivers may soon become the GOP’s bailiwick.
