All that President Hussein has to do is seize upon some crisis or other, even a manufactured one, then declare martial law, and the consitution, the Bill of Rights, and everything even resembling democracy goes right out the window.
And then, yes, he’d be president for life, as long as he could keep milking his “crisis.”
It’s actually an old, old story, and Hussein wouldn’t be the first chief executive to seize power in such a way.
Obismo will be the first US chief executive do sieze total power.

“Obama has not only openly asserted powers that were the grounds for Nixon’s impeachment, but he has made many love him for it. More than any figure in history, Obama has been a disaster for the U.S. civil liberties movement. By coming out of the Democratic Party and assuming an iconic position, Obama has ripped the movement in half. Many Democrats and progressive activists find themselves unable to oppose Obama for the authoritarian powers he has assumed. It is not simply a case of personality trumping principle; it is a cult of personality.”
Turley is a turkey gobbling leftist talking points most of the time, but he’s nailed it here - Obama has siezed more power than Nixon dreamed possible.
But then Nixon, despite all the damage he caused, loved his country - something Obizmo does not love. And as we are seeing, the damage will be unchecked and be far worse.
