(65,166 posts)of politicans in the right wing leaning, authoritarian quadrant of the political spectrum vs those closer to the libertarian point of view, Obama has given the authoritarians no reason for concern, he's one of them.
The Republicans know that even if Obama were to win reelection, the corporate media will still continue to enable and depict poltiicians in the right wing, authoritarian quadrant as being the "moderates," "centrists," "mainstream" to power whether it be in the White House or the Congress.
Even if Obama were to surprise them and deviate from authoritarianism, the long term dynamic would be set to correct itself.
The peoples' representatives in Congress would be weakened and subjugated to a central figure; the same one which can on his/her authority alone have any American killed or imprisoned indefinitely as Donald Trump would say, that American is fired.
In short, another major step toward corporate supremacy over the people and "We the people's" government.
