I suppose it's simply a matter of not understanding some English words

..for instance

In modern English language usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly

Since there is no other recognizable position in the US to which such a term could possibly be applied, I assume you are referring to the POTUS, Barack Obama

...the current nominal head of government in the US, who continues to exhibit an inability to even keep major portions of the government functioning as a result of of arbitrary decisions taken by a single branch of a bicameral legislature

There are those who might suggest that a dictator would prevent that from happening

However I suppose I could be persuaded that he is a dictator

Evidence is required, though

It's the Birther in me.....
