I could care less what lame duck Obama tries to do...
But where where you and your Emporer titles when Bush was pushing through the Patriot act, and calling anyone who opposed him unpatriotic and getting them ostacized?
Leave the partisan nonsense at home. Obama is almost gone, just deal with it until then. Not like congress doesn't try to reverse everything he does anyways.
Good or bad.
What are you scared of? All Obama did was continue the same oppressive right taking away policy the other guys started.
Just yell at the telescreen when Emannuel Goldstein comes on, and you "might" not get hit by a drone.

I was much younger when Bush was elected, when 9/11 happened and was not as aware of things.I supported him and did have a problem with the PATRIOT Act from day one. Funny thing was, Bush was at his core, a good person, an American, who had the best interest at heart.Bush's problem was he was not an intellectual.Stupid? Absolutely not but he is not an intellectual and over his head, which is why he relied on Dick Cheney etc so much, Bush was more of a figurehead and did not act like an emperor so he did not deserve the title.Bush was not a marxist at his core.Essentially George Bush is a good man, but was not really qualified to be President and once there, he relied too much upon his neocon circle, including Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld etc. Best of intentions but was just out of his league.
No, Obama has taken it much further. Bush was not using drones on American citizens(to my knowledge) which as tantamount to summary executions, a denial of due process. Bush was not trying to take away the second amendment rights of americans.Bush was not fostering class and racial division as obama blatantly has done.Bush did not shove something such as obamacare down our throats. Bush was not a great president, his major mistake was the iraq war and allowing the neocons to influence him .
Your remarks about just sit back and let the lame duck go, dont worry are a bit naive.Obama is dangerous as long as he holds power and I assure you the big political fight will be in few years as his term ends, he will attempt to find a way to stay in office.Some manufacture crisis will occur, esp if the polls are not looking good for democrats. That is a large problem right now, so many americans take it for granted we will just weather the storm, get rid of him via the process and things will be okay.People like obama do not play by the rules, so we cant count on that.Plus, the damage he has done already will probably affect you and I for rest of our lives, his assault on healthcare is the number one thing.The evidence is already there what havoc this monstrosity of law is causing and will continue to cause and should he luck up and get the house back under dem control, we have much to worry about.
This is not partisanship, this is truth.I saw a thing the other day that said "When I was in school studying the holocaust, I always wondering how Hitler got 6 million people to follow blindly without a fight? Then I realized my fellow americans are taking the same path" I am not calling obama hitler, he has not earned that comparison as of yet.I am saying the way people underestimate the threat that he poses, amazes me.
