Abuse of the executive order is an abuse of power. Maybe sign an executive order to increase the presidential term from 4 years to forever and pass it on to their heirs. I never thought of it this way. Get elected, take over the country through executive order.

And if you look at their donors - Romney gets the rich corporation money and Obama gets small donations from the masses, it basically bears this out.

He's had four years, why aren't the poor and middle class benefiting now?

St. Hope and Change and Romney have many of the very same rich corporations backing them...better look again.

It would mean the end of the American Republic as we know it. An unchecked Obama with nearly unlimited power would attempt to convert the nation even deeper into his goal of a Marxist society. He would ignore and bypass Congress and the Supreme Court. The wealthy would survive, the poor would continue to be enabled. The working and middle classes, however, would suffer badly. With higher taxes on one side and sharply rising inflation on the other, Obama would fulfill the advice that Lenin gave as to the way to "crush the bourgeoisie."

Don't forget all the white children sold into slavery to work in the Chinese sweatshops to pay off our national debt.
