Maybe you should read post #39 above to see who you addressed.

That's hilarious!

What's he been for the past two years?

Thomas Jefferson had nightmares about a future president like Obama.
Thanks for twisting my words.

The post you quoted by me was addressed to Calvinist.
I asked you for a link, which you so thoughtfully provided.
Would you like a recap on anything else, perhaps you would like to hear about Phelps swimming records being broken?

Of course, you can see the arguments against him doing it in that link so thanks for asking for it.
Yes, I saw the arguments against it, as well as the arguments from legal professors from Harvard and UoC claiming he could do it. Once again, no one knows because it's never been an issue.

Who ever said that the tea party is not full of fringe lunatics needs to get their head examined.

Whoever voted for Obama needs his head examined and if it is not apparent now then that person must be in the public trough in some manner.

I've seen people try to compare Obama to Hitler and even Mao Zedong. Most of the dictators have similar personality traits which Obama doesn't have. Obama is just a empty suit.

“Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own,” the president said while discussing laws against illegal immigration. He paused.
After a slow applause, the La Raza audience began a full-throated cheer.
“And believe me, right now dealing with Congress,” Obama started to say before being interrupted by chants.
“Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can! Yes, you can!” the audience shouted, urging Obama to become, in essence, a dictator.
“Believe me,” Obama joked. “Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. But that’s not how—that’s not how our system works.”
“Change it!” a woman begged of Obama.
La Raza members aren’t the only people that urged Obama to toss aside the Constitution and assume full control of the government. Woody Allen said it would be good if Obama “could be a dictator for a few years, because he could do a lot of good things quickly.”
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews suggested that Obama should “go in there and nationalize” the oil industry after the Gulf Oil spill, a sentiment shared by his colleague Ed Shultz, who said Obama should act like a dictator and “put the boot on the neck of BP.” Similarly, Bill Maher said Americans are stupid and Obama should ram Obamacare down their throats.
Obama can easily dismiss his comments as fantasy and jokes, but it is absolutely clear that some members of the La Raza, as well as some important people in the far left, really do want a dictatorship in this country.

Plus all the czar appointments that issue thousands of regulations while skirting Congress and only answering to Obama. Government ownership of private business (GM) and telling Boeing where they can and cannot run their business. He hasn't submitted a budget in 3 years, which is required every year under the Constitution.
He is constantly overreaching his authority. He controls the media, cept for Fox, but they also must fear his power. He wants control over our lives, what we eat. and how we communicate on the internet.
He is a global elitist that looks to the UN, NATO, and Soros for his marching orders.
