Obama: "I Am Not A Dictator; I'm The President"
2013-03-02
[Real Clear Politics] PRESIDENT OBAMA: "I am not a dictator; I'm the president. So, ultimately if Mitch McConnell or John Boehner say we need to go to catch a plane, I can't have Secret Service block the doorway, right?"

#7  Dictators have a hard time getting traction when all the peasants have guns. The US has enough of them that we don't worry too long about Dictatorships.
The US is kinda a Cool place. The ideologues can argue about politics but the common ordinary citizen even if he has a Walmart mind...still knows about the Second Amendment and Habeas Corpus. And too many people have been through the USMarines and out on the street again for some cheap ass bitch to think he can be Dictator.

There is such a thing as American character. Don't push people around and don't try to step on snakes. Plus there are a lot of us who don't like to get bumped while we finish a beer.

Obama won't last forever. He has shown he is incompetent. That will be his legacy. And the plumbing still works.

#6  Translation:

White House press corpse fawning, diapered, dimwits [I hate you, you disgusting white preppies]. Wat am I to do? They hate me because I am black right. They are clueless, the Amerikan people must intervene, when they themselves awaken and become less clueless. That's all I have, no more scripted questions. I must go, Moochelle must be tucked.

#2  The Latin word Imperator was originally a title roughly equivalent to commander under the Roman Republic. Later it became a part of the titulature of the Roman Emperors as part of their cognomen. - wiki

Because of their history, the Roman tyrants couldn't use the word for King (Rex) for their position and office, so the term emperor was adopted from the existing lexicon to fulfill the same purpose.

#1  But, but, but I'm not going to play the blame game.
