On the whole, Obama is just a typical, common or garden example of an American president and probably a little bit less appalling than his predecessors Bush and Cheney.

Depending on which law, no all laws! If he can pick and chose which laws
to obey or not, which laws to enforce or not, if he can just create laws by
not going through the proper processes, that would be disrespecting the
law.

If the law only cuts one way meaning it is allowed to harm one group and
not another doing the same thing or worse. The law then becomes very

be held accountable the same way for the same things, or the law is
worthless, and the justice department who enforces law did ...[text shortened]... ushing people around. Real justice gives them power, one sided justice
makes them thugs.

Sure he was forced to resign, but he never saw jail time. This showed that those in power over us are above the law. Today I doubt a President could be forced to resign like Nixon. The corruption keeps building on itself.
Essentially you have lawmakers whine about Obama doing things "illegally" in both parties, but nothing is ever done.

Originally posted by finneganIf you want to compare Obama to other US presidents, Cheney isn't part of that.
