New York Times Columnist, David Brooks, Calls For A Obama To Assume More Dictator-Like Powers

Here is his reasoning:

This is a good moment to advocate greater executive branch power because we’ve just seen a monumental example of executive branch incompetence: the botched Obamacare rollout. 

It’s important to advocate greater executive branch power in a chastened mood.

He justifies this line of reasoning by first discrediting Congress, accusing them of taking bribes, declaring Congress to have been "completely captured by Rentier Groups":

It’s not that the executive branch is trustworthy; it’s just that we’re better off when the presidency is strong than we are when the rentier groups are strong, or when Congress, which is now completely captured by the rentier groups, is strong.

And here is his conclusion

We don’t need bigger government. We need more unified authority. Take power away from the rentier groups who dominate the process. Allow people in those authorities to exercise discretion.

So yes, let's go through David Brooks' reasoning one more time, just to be really clear:

1) Congress has no right to it's Constitutionally-delegated authority anymore, because it is "captured by Rentier Groups".

and

2) Obama has proven himself to be incompetent, so he must be feeling "chastened"

therefore,

3) it is high-time we give the President authority over Congress (which is the branch of government conceived by the Founding Fathers as being more representative of the Will of the People).
