Compared to what Bush and Cheney did, they are nothing.

This is simply an untrue statement. Liberal constitutional attorney, Jonathan Turley, has addressed this very publicly. This is a man who is up front about it -- he agrees with the policy, but recognizes that Obama's tactics are "dangerous" and a threat to the democracy. There is no greater authority on this subject in the country.

Obviously, it is a subject you either ignorant about or don't care about. If you don't care about it, I find it disingenuous for you to come here talking about democracy.

Turley has also pointed out that, while he was concerned about Bush's actions that were borderline legal, Obama has taken it to an entirely new level. Did you conveniently ignore Turley or do you just not read the news?

And if Obama was not so strong the right wing would call him weak.

Arrogance and abuse of power should not be confused with strength. Reagan was strong. But he wasn't arrogant. He knew how to do what he needed to do through legal channels. And in the one instance where members of his administration acted without his authority, he flatly stated that it was on him.

What Obama is, is a diplomat and statesman (two words pubs know nothing about) , and god knows we needed one after the bulls in a China shop Bush and Cheny [sic].

No, what Obama is is incompetent. And I would argue any fool who sees him as either a "diplomat" or a "statesman" is just fucking ignorant. I can guarantee you no world leaders sees him in that way, regardless of what they may say publicly.
