Here’s my summation of this article:

We’re screwed!

I think most of us have known this for several years now.

...these actions “can create instability in society” as a whole
...shift of power to federal agencies, which are now exercising judicial and executive power
...a disregard for the long-held belief in separation of powers
...he is becoming a government unto himself
...Congress repeatedly declines to pass the DREAM Act, but Obama “behaves as if it were [passed].”
...[Obama] took $454 million from a dedicated purpose and shifted it over on his own purpose.
...Obama alone defines what a war is [Libya]; there was no room for the court, no room for Congress, as long as he didn’t call it a war

But do not be alarmed, readers: Turley says “I have never said that President Obama is a dictator.”

I say that every day. Obama is a classic African despot, a marxist, muslim, homosexual dictator.

Now everyone repeat after me...

ObaMao is “muscular” here in the US where so very few are willing to stand up to him. On the broader world stage, he is, however, a laugingstock.

Can you imagine how much the Clintons are salivating at the prospect of owning and operating a Presidency that no longer has to obey the Constitution and the law?

He does what he wants. Very little opposition to him. He has the media, a bunch of cowards in congress on the right, treason swinging tree monkeys in congress on the left. An amen corner at the AG office. A back stabbing bastard in the Supreme Court.
He rigs elections like a soviet KGB General, crumbled a great military, all but destroyed our currency and is enslaving a generations desire to go to work an get ahead
I’m sure I missed some. This has all been done with great speed and I’m sure there is more in store for us.

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”

The more I find out about Barry and his associates, the more I fear for America.

And why is it taboo to discuss Valerie Jarrett in most news forums?
Many times I’ve tried to share info about her on different news forums only to have my comments deleted.

Eerie out there. Period. There are too few of “us” left to stop anything, nevermind reverse it.

I want any candidate of mine to campaign on reversal and restoration, but to do that he would have to use the same methods Obama used that I deplore to have a prayer, just as Turley suggested.

It would, he argued, be the “height of hypocrisy.”

This has never stopped a liberal, not once, not even a little bit.
