Those who insist we vote for the lessor of two evils gave us the current government, which can only be describes as communistic.
What you mean is "lesser" of two evils. The smaller of two evils. The less large of two evils.
That said, you are 100 percent correct that voting for the lesser of two evils is what got us here. And you would be correct in saying that Obama was in a sense "the lessor of two evils," but I'd sure wonder which two evils you referred to, because as a landlord (or lessor), Obama has a whole lot more than two evils in his property portfolio!!!! ;^)
