That's chapter 1 of AP Government class here in Idaho.
It ticks me off nobody on our side of the aisle calls him out on this.
Please forgive the typo!
Good catch.
He is an idiot...tell your friends :-)
If the folks at Harvard had not been hating on him and filing sexual harassment claims against him, I am sure that he would have had time to become an American history aficionado as well as being a constitutional expert.
Maybe if you looked up the word democracy in the dictionary, you'd realize that the #1 definition is a representative government of democratically elected representatives. It's interchangeable with the term "Republic".
You object to Democracy because you think of Democracy as one person one vote on all matter's. But that's not the most common usage of the word. So chill!
I’m with you. It’s amazing to me how many products of our public school system also think we are a democracy.
I think it is interesting that Obama’s name did not come up until post #7 and I knew EXACTLY who you were talking about.
It ticks me off when he calls us a democracy.America was a constitutional republic. It's now an oligarchy.
It ticks me off nobody on our side of the aisle calls him out on this.
B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, has studied the US Constitution long enough to conclude that there is NO punishment for violating the US Constitution.
Well, that is true if the Speaker of the US House of Representatives has the spine of a 3 day old dead jelly fish.

"I’m the president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy."

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
The word ‘democracy’ is often used as a shorthand in everyday speech, but you are correct that POTUS should not use it the way Obungo used it.
I spoke about it once to my European friends, who call their system a ‘democracy’, explaining how it pisses off pedants on this side of the pond, and why it does it, and they politely showed me that theirs was not a ‘democracy’ in the pedantic sense, but a republic just like ours.
There are no strict democracies in a world today. (Hold off Captain Obvious with your list of some obscure Pacific islands that are ‘democracies’.)
Now you can see, once and for all who is who. ANYONE and everyone who agrees with Obama’s statement is an enemy to the United States.
These progressives/communists love to use the idea of Kumbya and Democracy, but all talk of “democracy” is just a tool for their Tyranny.
We can not pretend otherwise anymore. It is mob rule, because like the MB they addict the mob to something and then turn their enemies.
It is the same MO for all of the world’s progressives. American are not immune.
Concur. And he is not the only one. News casters, pundits, and guests say things like our democracy constantly.
I love watching people’s faces when I say the US is not a democracy but a Constitutional republic. The blank stares like I am speaking a foreign language. Like the looks I get from so many immigrants.
His lovers excuse is “He didn’t mean it.”
