FDR was headed down a dangerous road back then, and everybody knew it.

But so did he, and he knew where to stop. The difference between he and Obama is that Obama believes:

1. the New Deal did not go far enough

2. the Constitution is an archaic 18th Century document that needs done away with (his words)

3. The Supreme Court cannot be trusted and should be scrapped

4. that everybody needs to pay more taxes. A lot more.

5. Those who paid in should receive less services

6. everybody is an American

7. That the American people are so dumb that he will be able to convince them that all of the above are true.

Does that explain it thoroughly enough? Everything I listed is based upon his words and/or actions.

The US constitution is probably the wisest document on the planet! Its definitely not archaic because it would fit every Age down through time.  It was written with a foresight into human nature that would not be found today....  Of course he is going to say that because he wants a dictatorship with himself at the helm!!

He may convince many.... especially those on the wrong side of the law..... who think the world owes them something.
