The latest buzz phrase from our Republican friends seems to be that President Obama is a "dictator", "Dictator-in-Chief," etc.

I think some of these folks need to go back and study real dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. to learn the true meaning of the word. The usage makes me think most of these folks throwing the term around are just brainwashed Faux News drones who can't think for themselves.

Yes, it means rule by a single person - like someone who rules by Executive order without the consent of Congress.

I doubt you know what it means though.

I have studied the infamous dictators of the past.

Trust me, Obama is not there. Yet.

He is trying very hard to qualify though.

He's there already.

If you 'studied', then you must not have studied their phases of power consolidation.

Blah, blah, blah.

The left had (and still has! after YEARS!) many much more colorful terms that they use to describe Bush.

Glass houses, stones, etc.

'It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is".

Many people have different meanings for many words.

When the IRS steps in to enforce Obamacare and they control your financial means,force their way into your homes for heath&welfare inspections of how you live,ask personal private questions to your children during interrogation then you will know the government is overstepping your God given rights as free Americans.Now stick this in your pipes and smoke it while you still can before their mandatory pi$$ tests kick in.

Peruse the forum a bit more; you'll see it mentioned often by the right wingers.

Well, it does vary. One minute he's a Dictator and the next 'weak'. It really depends on what day it is.

I think on Tuesday and Thursday he's a Dictator. On Monday and Wednesday, he's weak.

Check with Fox.
