Wishful hate? lol, Obama is a dictator if there ever was one, you or anyone can see it in how he ignores congress, ignores the senate, ignores the bill of rights, and ignores the U.S. constitution! ( On a daily basis)

Loved the part where they are all chanting for a dictatorship.... idiots.
The most blaring of these is his decree to exclude businesses from the Patient Protection Act (or Obamacare), thus overstepping his authority and side-stepping the precedence of shared and equal powers between three and separate equal branches of government.
WASHINGTON—A blank piece of legislation that says nothing, does nothing, and contains no text whatsoever has been the source of heated debate in Washington this week, and has sharply divided Congress along partisan lines, Beltway sources confirmed Thursday.
Known as S.0000, the bill, which doesn’t have sponsors, co-sponsors, or an author, has reportedly drawn starkly contrasting opinions from legislators in both the Senate and House of Representatives, and has paved the way for a major legislative battle in coming months.
“At a time when millions of Americans are still struggling, we simply cannot afford this kind of devil-may-care federal policy,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), angrily waving the blank stack of papers in front of reporters. “We will not risk leading the American people into further hardship simply so the Obama administration can once again do whatever they please, regardless of the consequences. As it is now, the bill is both short-sighted and utterly irresponsible.”
[Roosevelt] was always... finding new victims to loot and new followers to reward, flouting common sense, and boldly denying its existence, demonstrating by his anti-logic that two and two made five, promising larger and larger slices of the moon. His career will greatly engage historians, if any good ones ever appear in America, but it will be of even more interest to psychologists. He was the first American to penetrate to the real depths of vulgar stupidity. He never made the mistake of overestimating the intelligence of the American mob. He was its unparalleled professor. April 15, 1945

Which article gives Congress the right to hold the nation hostage in
exchange of forcing their own personal agenda?
It's no secret that this is the most ineffective Congress in U.S. history,
and their failure in the House is tearing this country apart.
We're talking about Congressmen so hell bent on gumming up the works,
that they've even mistakenly filibustered themselves.
It's ludicrous.
My thinking is, the door swings both ways. It could easily read:
Well then CONGRESS should 'work' with Obama.
What has Congress really 'done' for the economy without Obama anyway ?
The difference is, I see Obama trying to get this stagnant river we call our economy flowing again, meanwhile, Congress keeps tossing in bricks to dam it up.

I think you've lost all credibility when you admitted that to you, Fox News was a beacon of truth and not part of the MSM.

As for the video? It's just another run of the mill, out of context, edited video like the countless we saw during the election.edit on 8/3/2013 by muse7 because: (no reason given)

Your logic is astounding. You should have your own show on FOX News.
When I filibustered over domestic drone use, critics said that I was being ridiculous. They said that no American had been killed by a drone on American soil and that no one was likely to be anytime soon. President Obama responded that he hadn’t killed anyone yet and didn’t intend to — but he might.
That wasn’t the point. The filibuster was about the limits of power. It was about how much authority the president imagined he had. Lincoln wrote that nearly any man can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man, give him power.

A dictatorship would be easier, there is no denying that. Running a republic is many times more difficult. But is he stating that he would like to bypass the laws of our land?
Obama video quotes:
"but the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting"
"I know there are some folks that wish I can bypass congress... I can..."
Obeying the laws of our land.
Like the Patriot Act?
And he said "Can't" by the way.
No you are just another perfect example of a person without a valid argument slinging insults. This president that you are so keen on defending wants to turn our constitution into toilet paper.
In my opinion, the most blaring and GLARING is the drone program that he has increased, the rendition programs, and the overseas "force" he calls "War on Terror."
SICKENING.

No President is a "friend of the Constitution." But Obama has excercised his use of executive powers far less than others, far less than one might expect when faced with a crumbling economy and stone walling on the house floor.

The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus. This admission was recently posted on Scribd.com:
