Bubblehead, stop and think for a minute. You are aware that there are some people who see Hitler around every corner, who think the government is about to get them and transform the US into a police state. But come on, man, look at the history of this country. It's never happened. Even during and after the Civil War, Lincoln and the North were pretty darn decent in how they handle the aftermath. We've been through Red Scares, rigged elections, presidents who pushed the boundaries of the law, and wars and civil unrest. But in the end, the country and its leaders always follow the script. No president has ever tried to cement his hold on the office illegally. This isn't Russia. Obama is not going to "seize power", no more than Bush, or Reagan, or any of the Republican presidents did, despite the idiotic howlings of the Left at that time. You should really stop thinking in that vein--you don't want to be part of the idiotic howlings of the Right. Obama and the left may try to make laws and make changes to the country, but that's how representational democracy works. They were elected, they get to call the shots. Relax, man.

Neal I respect your statement but I believe that it is extremely naive to think it will always work out okay for us because it has in the past.Obama is different than any president, learn about the guy, analyze his actions, words etc, his associations, he is different and given his tendency to not respect the constitution and it's limits on his power, he is likely to exploit a situation and try to retain power, he is dangerous.This may not be Russia but this guy and the whack jobs in his admin and his loyal band of ignorant followers are just as bad.Maybe it will work out but it is not beneath him/them to try such shenanigans and we must be in vigilant, not complacent.Like I said, he is different, Bush or Reagan were not dangerous like obama, nor was clinton even, not in the way obama is.
Sure, elections have consequences but it does not mean they are allowed to push a destructive and unconstitutional agenda down our throats nor does it mean those of us who are not blind to who he really is are supposed to keep quiet.Half of the battle is spreading the word and waking people u, which is increasingly difficult to do since the media is basically a propaganda arm of the admin now.
