Amy Purevsuren - Well, if you define the democracy as the rule of the majority and the subjugation of the minority, then you are correct that Obama modeled democratic principles ... they just weren't American republic principles.

Let's remember that Obama started out his presidency by responding to those who didn't like his policies with "the time to object was at the ballot box. Elections have consequences."

IOW, he told the 48% of the population who voted for someone else that they should "Sit down and shut up" while he fundamentally destroyed their lives with millions of new regulations that interfere with day-to-day living, a wholesale incredibly-damaging takeover of  health care, and $11 trillion in national debt.

Obama acted like a tinpot dictator. He might have been elected by the majority, but he did not represent the whole country. That he was completely honest about that doesn't negate the fact that he represented the cities and elites at the detriment of everyone else.
