Don't know much about history...

Well, last week President Obama was in Mexico, and had some interesting things to say (as usual). I am looking for the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of Mexico and the United States both being democracies. I really do wish Obama would stop referring to the United States as a democracy. We are NOT a democracy. But I started to think that if he DOES think we are, it explains quite alot. Like his (incorrect) assumption that whatever the majority in the country want, well, that will be the rule. He also seems to think he has received a mandate to change this country into the image HE has always wanted it to be, not what the Constitution says, or what the rule of law says. This is, indeed a dangerous path to take. Laws were put in place to protect the individual from the rule of the mob. A democracy is like 3 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Pretty soon you have the French Revolution!
