Where is the brave editorial cartoonist who will portray BO doing a “knockout game” on Uncle Sam and/or SCOTUS + the Congress?
To: maggief
Truly shocked by the comments. Nearly all condemning Obama.......in the LATimes, no less! Pigs are flying and Obama is playing golf.......while America is desperately trying to regain it's footing on the path to prosperity. Obama has been the most destructive, divisive pResident EVER! Let's work to resurrect the America that we know is still in the hearts of true Patriots!

Obama is not a dictatorActually, he is a dictator wannabe and if the Republicans or someone won't stop him, he'll succeed in being dictator. He's perilously close.

Who is Turley? A dissident liberal, or one of the usual suspects?

Don’t criminal psychologists document that pathological behavior is displayed in increments?

Yes, deception is the common trait of all dictators. After they achieve control, they no longer care what the common people think. At this point, the government is so universally corrupt they can rig all future outcomes in their favor. This is where we find ourselves under Zero’s reign. Does he really care now whether the masses have finally figured out that he is a dictator? What can they do about it now?

I’m from Mississippi, so I’ve been called racist just because of that, and although I’m not a racist, I will gladly wear that mantle if it is required to oppose the kenyan bastard.

The trend has existed for decades, and President George W. Bush showed equal contempt for the separation of powers. George had flaws aplenty, but this wasn't one of them. I guess this is just another variation of the "Bush's Fault" knee-jerk thing by the media, in this case it is "Bush's Fault, Too...", specifically.

The author put that bash on Bush in, to throw a sop to the ultraliberal readers.
But note that it came in at the end, AFTER the main points were made.
But to have that op ed in the LAT is telling...
Even the people on the Left coast know that this Pres__ent has overstepped the constitutional limits on powers.
Its the editorial equivalent of a magnitude 6.0

On what basis can one say he’s not a dictator accelerating his power grabbing daily?
To: neverdem
What would he have to do to BECOME a dictator?
What would he have to support to BECOME a Marxist?
