I don't consider that consent either.

Please pardon if this sounds harsh, but Obama doesn't care what you consider consent. He won with a clear majority in the popular and electoral votes in both 2008 and 2012, and that gave him consent.

A majority can be accused of laziness, apathy, stupidity, of being ill informed.

So what do we have to do to inform them before 2016?

But a majority clearly did not consent to the sort of leadership Obama has provided - Obama the candidate was completely different than Obama the president.

A majority voted for him in 2012, after Obamacare was passed, after Benghazi, and after he told Medvedev he would have more leeway after the elections. The electorate knew all of this in 2012, but elected him anyway.

Oh I know it doesn't matter now. I know Obama doesn't give a sh*t - he's an ends justifies the means Maoist.

But since his entire campaign was a lie, as is nearly everything thats come out of his mouth since he was elected, he cannot morally claim the 'consent of the governed'. For what thats worth.

The electorate should have known, but they didn't, in no small measure because the MSM has made it their mission to conceal the truth and defend their savior.

We curmudgeonly types here hardly represent the voting populations level of awareness of all things political. I will bet you have relatives that know almost nothing of the things of which you speak. Willful ignorance is hard if not impossible to overcome.

Convert Bob Beckel or Alan Combs then you will have done something.
