The oh-so-regal president, who has all but declared himself king of America, joked at a state dinner that unlike the constitutionally-limited American president, a French king wouldn’t have to deal with those nasty tea-bagger lawmakers and their pesky filibusters.

We can almost picture Obama rubbing his hands in a villainous manner and croaking, “I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for that meddling Ted Cruz!”
