Former Rep. Tancredo: Obama is country's greatest threat
Quote:Speaking at a campaign rally Thursday for Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck, former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) called President Barack Obama the greatest threat facing America today.
After recalling the nuclear threat from the former Soviet Union, Tancredo said, "We had that threat and we survived it. Later we found out we had another threat to our way of life, and that was al Qaeda. We found that out on 9/11."
Tancredo continued, "But I firmly believe this — it's not just, you know, sort of a dramatic statement that a person would make to get press or something, or ink. I believe this with all my heart. The greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution of the United States, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything we believe in, the greatest threat to the country that was put together by the Founding Fathers is the guy that is in the White House today."
This guy is awesome. If nuts like him keep saying moronic crap Obama won't even have to campaign in 2012.
is this a joke? or are they really this desperate for attention?
Unbelievable.
Isn't this the guy who wanted to bring back Jim Crow laws and mandatory "civics tests" for voters?
So wait, does that make the 69,456,897 people who voted for Obama the second greatest threat to the country?

Yeah, that's him.
What an idiot. Nothing more needs to be said.
Tom Tancredo is the greatest threat to America.
This guy sounds like someone repeating retarded Glenn Beck talking points...
How'd this guy ever get voted into office? (and I could see why they got rid of him
)
I still find it really funny that Reagan had
lower approval numbers and a crappier economy at the same point in his first term but yet Obama is somehow worse than Reagen was.
I'm don't know too much on the American political system so maybe someone can tell me what safeguards they are to stop one man, even if he is President, from doing too much harm. Isn't the President answerable to Congress?

Don't forget Reagen nationalized failed banks. Fired over 11,000 people who were on strike. Gave blanket amnesty and citizenship to 2 million illegal immigrants. Signed the largest gun control ban in the last 40 years (the machine gun ban). Sold arms to Iran. Banned guns in national parks. And he is still consider a demi-god.

Of course Congress can impeach the president if they feel he is committing a crime.

That's politics in America for you. They get so polarised they lose all grip with reality.

Even politics here isn't polarising, either (thankfully). There's the occasional Hitler/Third reich comparison and name-calling, but that stuff happens between coalition partners too. In general, it's all about consensus (sometimes too much for my taste). and there are also more than two parties that are relevant.
