Having a Russian family (in-laws) I can assure you that Russia today is more like USA 1950's than the USA is today. Yes they have issues... but they're improving all the time. And I can ASSURE you that in Russian media and on the Russian "street" Obama is 10x more of a joke than W ever was.
Well, we've certainly become more like the USSR, with all 0bama's "pen and phone" unconstitutional law making. HINT: if he wants change any part of a law, whether to extend the time frame or add punctuation, he has to take it to the House of Representatives and ask them to change the law. It's up to them and if they say no, too ****ing bad, they were elected for a reason and unless they're replaced by democrats (highly unlikely considering the country's disapproval of 0bama), the president has to suck it up and live with it. The senate is allowing the executive branch to take their power because they agree with him on policy issues.
And 0bama did expand the Patriot Act so much, it would be a dictator's wet dream. Look at all he's done: NSA spying, using the IRS to prevent political opponents from having a voice (doesn't matter who funds them or what their message is, they have the same rights 501c4's funded by George Soros, Peter Lewis and ever millionare in Hollywood), sending drones to kill Americans without due process, etc. And we've become the laughingstock of the entire world. We've shit on our allies, coddled our enemies, given money to countries who want to kill us, crapped on Israel and never backs up his limp-wristed threats with action. I don't freaking care if the rest of the world doesn't like us because we're the lone super power, I'd rather be feared then laughed at.
When we have a republican president the dems in congress are going to be screaming about the power they gave away. And I'd bet my last dollar the next president will be a conservative. The majority of republicans and independents and even some democrats think the country is headed in the wrong direction. 0bamacare is still hated, and by greater margins all the time. The republican base is so pissed, I bet a RINO won't make it out of the primaries, regardless of how much money the establishment elites throw their way. Carter gave us Reagan, 0bama is Carter on steroids with a big chip on his shoulder, I can't wait to see what he brings. But before that, the left is going to receive a shellacking in the midterms, RINO's too, I hope, worse than they think is coming. And all the democrat politicians know it doesn't look good, that's why many of them are retiring. The damage 0bamacare has done and will continue to do, will make it extremely difficult for the dems to win the WH. The people want it overturned. No way a democrat president would follow the will of the people. Taking over health care is like the Holy Grail for them.
