We're philosophically miles apart. I am convinced that Obama will turn out to be the worst president this country has ever known. More and more people are becoming aware that he isn’t the savior he and his followers thought he was. I don’t care for him, not so much for his healthcare, though I have lots of objections to that, but because he doesn’t believe in the Constitution or the concept of America that says we have rules and should abide by them. You can't run this country like a dictatorship."
