I'm not saying it would have been much better under Romney, but this country has taken a wrong turn somewhere, not exactly sure when, and it's for the worse. The president is not supposed to be the totalitarian head of state. There is the checks and balances system. Does anyone not know/remember that Hitler gained power by usin the very democratic system he despised. There was the Reichstag fire, which he used to invoke article 48, which gave him absolute rule. He dissolved parliament and never looked back. Now, I don't think Obama is evil, but it is dangerous to not start "checking" people when they are in power. We have these gun tragedies and he's inching closer to using that as a reason to get rid of an amendment that only some Americans have a problem with. And before you get all up in arms saying "he's not taking guns", I'm not saying that, but it is trending that way. Maybe not in his term, but once you start down the path, it's hard to come back.
