Sequester Obama

Falcon:

The best remedy for our country would be to sequester Obama and get our government back on track and represent the people again instead of constant special interest.  Obama has done nothing but make bad decisions while shredding our constitution and bypassing the congress with his rubber stamp executive orders all of which are dumbfounded at best.

If Obama wishes to be a dictator he should head south of the border where he belongs, where most people know little or nothing about democracy, where Obama would fit in nicely with such a political system as a dictatorship or socialism where he could sit on this throne and dictate policy unopposed as he is doing here while the press looks starry eyed at him like a bunch of teenagers.
