Yes, he was elected the 1st time. The Constitution goes by whoever wins the electoral college wins the Presidency. Did not you learn that in school?

Well said. Perhaps he wanted you to break it down in Teabonics. That's all they understand.

Obama will probably get re-elected, but I think the House and Senate will have small GOP majorities.

I didn't see any "darkies" in the wall street protesters. I think that's Obamas gang . On the other hand Holder is dark , he did sell guns to the enemy and Americans were killed , and thousands of innocent Mexicans. Yes! If Eric Holder comes down my street , looking for my guns ...

You can't answer my question because it would require you to be sane, truthful, and honest.

You can't answer my question because your assertion that the President is a dictator is so pathetic in it's lunacy, that in your moments of clarity, even you can't believe what you wrote.

Nor can the stupid, fearful, psychotic, or those that believe that we have a Dictator in the White House.
