For years, the White House has fought back the perception that President Obama acts as a king. Though the imperial president dismisses laws regularly and creates new ones with a swipe of his pen, Obama and his defenders have long argued that he does not operate as a king.
Apparently, that is exactly how Obama sees himself.
In an odd move on Monday, the White House tweeted a picture of President Obama seated upon an iron throne, the kind of throne from HBO’s “Game of Thrones” where power-hungry characters jockey for power.
Though the picture is likely meant in jest, the picture affirms the common criticism of the president who seems more and more comfortable acting as an absolutist ruler.
