Obama says we're still working on our democracy, and the White House adds that they're making progress:
President Obama said Sunday that the United States is still "working on" democracy and a top aide said he has taken "historic steps" to improve democracy in the United States during his time in office.
The remarks came as Obama met with Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev — one of the U.S. president's many meetings with world leaders ahead of this week's nuclear summit.

God help America, God help us all!
The President doesn’t know that we are not a democracy but a republic?
Working on democracy - isn’t that what Lenin said when he “assumed” office?
Obama better hope we don’t become a democracy— without a (com)pliant Congress and his buddies in the media, he’d get voted out in a hurry!
(And incidentally, the narrative of “improving” democracy is part and parcel of the progressive/Communist understanding of history and political systems. See also Marx.)
If Bummer cared a whit about “democracy” as defined in the political textbooks, he wouldn’t have rammed Obamacare down America’s throat and would not even think of ramming amnesty. To Bummer, “democracy” is getting the people to like licking your boots.
Democracy looks like dictatorship, who knew?
Meanwhile, Obozo’s working on his fascism.
AMEN! Democracy = mob rule.
BINGO! And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands!!! Oh and One nation UNDER GOD!
Granting Acorn and the SEIU full gov’t access are Zer0’s hysterical achievements.
Same man worked on Obamacare against the wishes of a 58% majority/
Same man will work on naturalization again ,against a majority, against what is good for the people and their economy.
Now! That is Democracy in Action! And he is going to refine it further?
Obama is working on getting rid of it or at the least, corrupt democracy beyond recognition in his favor.
Ya see, Bummercare is punch 1 of a 1-2 punch. It is the carrot which is designed to bring the anticipated amnestees into the voting force instead of having them yawn in our faces and go their merry anonymous way or even return to Mexico. It meant enough to Bummer that Bummer actually gave up being lazy for the sake of getting it rammed through.
And then, Bummer will have a people the majority of which licks his boots. “Democracy” mission accomplished.
More words and double speak. He’s working on a dictatorship that’s called a democracy in our Orwellian times.
Obama is not simply pretentious. He is mad. His are the words and actions of insanity.
Furthermore, all democracies have been short lived, unstable, unperfectable in history. Democracies in modern times have all been compromised of specifically socialist, communist, fascist regimes....a democracy must develop to one of them or to a non-democratic dictatorship or oligarchy. No democracy has ever evolved to a constitutional republic. Our Constitutional Republic is being trashed in favor of an unstable, temporary democracy that will be totalitarian as all the others, except with new technological tools to make the totalitarianisms of the past even more “efficient”. Fascism is to the “right” only under the democracy umbrella and has NO relation to a constitutional republic. What the dems and Obama want is a dictatorial, one party “democracy”...Russia had one in the recent past...the dems think they have the model to establish it with...healthcare. I hope not, and hope is not a plan. The country needs more awakening to prevent this and time has run out.
He is working on creating mob rule by replacing the people.
If you don’t like the mob you got...
Mad like Napoleon. Needs a Waterloo.
Apparently he’s not comfortable with the representative Republic.
Even if we were a democracy, how could you then justify going against the popular will?
It has worked against us with respect to the popular vote at times; the electoral math doesn’t help when solid red states are overwhelmingly red, and borderline states are barely blue, winner take all.
I guess that’s what they mean about still working on it. They haven’t figured out how to negate us yet.
I think we safely say he is not a Constitutiona scholar.
The Founding Fathers.
That's why they gave us a republic, not a democracy.
I don’t think we will survive another 3 years with this traitor running things.
He needs to be removed from office. He is no American President.
"Whether We Like it Or Not, We Remain a Dominant Military Superpower"
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Whether we like it or NOT!
BO’s statement of Super Power Status - unfreaking believable!:
